It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never ordered a Wendy's Dave's Double before.

Oof, that's a definite cold shoulder reply.

She's not being mean but she is telling you she's not very interested in you.

So just send a cursory message back telling her thanks for the reply, and let you know if she wants to hang out.

At best you might get a "u up?" one desperate night, but don't hold your breath.

Anyway….I’ve got no idea how it works - any top line tips? I think the profile I’ve put together is ok but the main questions are….

- should I subscribe or just use a free version? (I have money so it’s not a huge deal but obvs don’t need to pay if I don’t need to)
- I se to have gathered like 90 likes or Sth…but I don’t know what this means? Does this mean I can contact them? Because I’m on the free version, I can’t seem to see their profiles
- given my situation, should I go on incognito mode?

The location things baffles me. I’ve got it limited to 18km away but I seem to regularly see profiles from 20-50km. Does that mean they’re visiting the area or Sth?

And if I swiped left…will I ever see that profile again?

Plenty more questions to come - perhaps there’s a beginners link for idiots?

Guessing I will do Bumble and Hinge later on too. Also guessing that different populations have different tendencies for the different aps? Are there ones which are more hook-up vs more serious?

I’m 52 but was persuaded to say 49 to open me up to ****ing more early 40s!
If youre sexy, use tinder. If youre not, use bumble. If youre hip and sexy, use hinge. Use premium. Get great photos. Do not text too much. The less you text the best. Literally flirt for like 3-4 lines then ask them if they wanna get a drink in next 3-5 days.

do not text them too much, do not discuss your divorce, and do not start swiping until wife moves out. Most women will despise you for dating while wife lives with you

Whatever you do, don't appear too eager or start messaging her randomly before your next meeting.

I hosted a game night for a group of friends last weekend, and invited her. As we discussed it, i realized she was flirting with me, so i asked her about it, and we started discussing our mutual interest in each other. We started dating and i didn't even need to deal with dating sites. I feel optimistic about this so far, and hope it continues to go well.

Point here is definitely that if someone reaches out after noticing you're recently single, there's a good chance they're interested and you should pursue it if you are interested as well.
if a girl wants to **** you, they start by talking to you. Do not mention that you both like eachother, girls are inherently insecure so once you let them know you like them(aka they have you), they lose interest. Sorry, thats how it works. Women want men they think they cant have, it helps them feel like they "still got it"

Someone recently told me I should be cautious so as not to get hurt. But i feel like if I'm not giving my all, am I really being my true self? I'm not scared of getting hurt anymore. I've survived a lot and refuse to give less than 100%, especially with someone that has a chance at becoming long-term and great. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I see it.
She doesnt like you. Stop all contact at once and figure out how you ****ed up.

this is all actually pretty much accurate IMO

I am only on tinder. I don't know if this is a lot, but I got a load of likes - I think like 150 in the first week or sth. Enough anyway that I paid for a month subscription so I could see them all A load of them weren't great - I'd say there was a 25% 'wood' factor in terms of women I would have been prepared to meet and talk to sober. And some of them I felt downright insulted that they thought they had a chance

I filtered a lot of the decent ones out for distance - I live near a big city but I'm about 25 miles north of it in quite a niche location and I just know there's no point connecting with women more than 10-15 miles away because I just can't be bothered. And it's not like I can have them to mine yet anyway, given I'm sole parent to 3 kids

There were quite a few who would have been happy to hook up, but they were skanky and the combination of that plus the distance/having to drive to them and therefore be sober made me 'meh' them out.

And then the ones who seemed both nice looking and sane either wanted to text a ton or it all seemed to get quite difficult when they found out I still had my ex in the same house (albeit she's in rehab for 4 weeks right now). Some of them were out immediately with that info, others weren't but they were generally nice women/lonely/wanting a partner and I just don't have the heart to start dating them, then **** them and then it fizzled out. Some lonely people out there...lots who just want to have someone to text with

So...net, net. It's really way too early for me to be on there and I definitely won't go on bumble and hinge til I'm living separately to the wife and have some free evenings. I'll probably stay on tinder just in case there's a 7+ who is local and good to go. There was one who was both hot and very keen but she's also just split and is living with her parents. So literally nowhere to go unless we book a hotel

it's quite addictive though, just jumping on each night and seeing what's there/who has liked me.

I am that girl quite often even with women I legitimately care about - get caught up/distracted in things and my add just shuts off that part of the world and it's like I forgot it ever existed

for example, I'll see I have a pressing issue I urgently need to deal with that requires my phone, I pick up the phone and as I go to open up gmail and respond to that urgent email, I see a notification for a soccer result so I click that real quick to just see who it was that scored and then from there I enter a rabbit hole of whatever it was that grabbed my attention momentarily and 3 hours later I finish reading an entire Wikipedia article about an Ottoman emperor and have no memory at all of that email i needed to urgently respond to which is why i picked up my phone in the first place

for example, the reason i picked up my laptop right now was to place a sports bet, but then i saw a 2p2 logo on the bookmark page that leads to my subbed threads and noticed there was a new online dating post which I'm now responding to and I still haven't placed my bet even though the game will start shortly and the line i liked may not be there anymore but i saw a friggin logo and just had to click - frankly, if that sports bet wasn't actively on my mind now, not to place the bet but to use as an example of things i meant to do but got to distracted to do, i probably wouldn't have even recalled it and 50 2p2 posts later see the game is over and remember i was supposed to have bet on it

out of sigh out of mind is a very real thing for a lot of people, her respond perfectly mirrors my own response when i want to convey to someone that i do genuinely care about them but was truly distracted

I wouldn't rule her out, she could just have add

I know guys who have never gotten 150 matches total on their tinder accounts. You’re crushing it.
