Which site are you refering to Fossil? I live in Belgium and usually what exists in France exists over here. Feel free to pm me

Do you have AdopteUnMec? It's seriously been incredible. I tried Meetic too (which I think is more popular), but it wasn't nearly as good. For apps, Tinder and Happn were decent in Winter, but near useless now.

Never tried AdopteUnMec (lol @ the name) but will look it up. Meetic was by far the largest dating website here before smartphones happened but I'm guessing it's dying as of now because the prices were quite expensive back then

edit : adopte un mec seems to be available here so i'll give it a try in a few days if my happn+tinder dates of wed/thu turn out unsuccessful

Agreed, I got insanely lucky. I had dated a lot on OKC and Match then hit the tinder craze just as it was becoming more accepted/people were curious what it was about. Right place, right time.

All I'm saying is never give up hope as you never know when you'll go on that 1 date that changes your life forever.

this. So much this.

Just perusing Reddit and someone proposed a conspiracy theory that Tinder has found your soulmate, but will never let you meet, just give you similar matches that are "near misses" to make you pay for additional service.

It sounded silly but the more I read and then thought about it, it actually could make better sense
(in order to make money) to steer you towards the type of person you like, but never truly giving you ones that are extremely compatible.

wow congratulations

I'm not even getting near misses. At the moment tinder is giving me endless hotties who are clearly either fake, left the site long ago, would never swipe right on me or anyone, etc.

So difficult these days to find the holy grail of even semi-cute, fun, not fat and reasonably not crazy. Or maybe it's just the summer.

Bumble

So, I match with a woman on Tinder, exchange messages and suggest we continue the conversation via text. She agrees and gives her number. I send a text relating to our Tinder convo which is ignored. A day later I send another text asking "is this Jane?" She confims it's her, at which point I say it's Seymour from Tinder. Ignored...

Why give your number if you're not interested in conversing?

Guess she found someone she's more interested in....people are nuts, so don't overthink it.

Yah, could be any number of things, some nonsensical. Best to just forget it and make it a numbers game.

How would Tinder know which people you're extremely compatible with?

Using an algorithm based on who you swipe right on.

You keep swiping on brunettes in their thirties with glasses who like anal for example, you actually only swipe right for people that really interest you, and not ones that you're ambivalent about.

You can see if they like anal before you swipe right? All I see is a picture, name, and age, Plus sometimes a workplace and/or school they attended.

Eeyo, that is the dumbest 'conspiracy' I've ever heard of.

And you just assume that all the hot brunette 30-something glasses-wearing anal enthusiasts in your area would swipe right on you if only the algo gave them a chance? lol

I think you're getting confusing "compatibility" with "the specific combination of things I'm attracted to."

This theory is an obvious defense mechanism for people who don't get swiped right on very often. Not only that but Tinder is by far the least plausible app for this theory, considering how little info they ask for.

I think you don't know how algorithms work.

But nevermind, it's a conspiracy theory, not fact.

I don't use tinder, are there ads? If so maybe conspiracy could make some sense, they never want you to leave. Else, I'm just sure your associating bad luck with conspiracies.

Yes

Hey guys told some chick last week we should grab drinks and she texted back yea sure! . Ugh this week texted her are you free Thursday or later this week and no response.

Do I just not message her back or somehow try to reinitiate convo. I'm leaning toward just tossing #. Kinda bummed bc this chick was cute and hand some similar interests to Me.

She works a weird shift andnprolly saw text at work but didn't respond after 2 days. Feeling I should just not text back lol. Thanks for input. If I've learned anything from tinder, it's easy to tell when a girl is down to hang. She will text you back quickly and try to make convo. I've normally realized very attractive girls don't message much and aren't interested in me as I'm sure they can pick almost any guy from tinder.

The gal I had a truncated date with posted an instagram of the tattoo she selected when we met. I commented "came out great" and she thanked me.

Should I take a flyer and contact her further?

Why bother? She sounds awful and immature (at least per your description). Is she really hot?

I suppose if you're into tall (5'10") athletic blondes. I wasn't sure whether her maturity level was atypical for your average 24 year old. I generally date women my age or older

I find Tinder to be just like working with recruiters in the job search: if they're into you, communication will be fluid and constant, if not, they'll ghost quickly, so you're better off moving on.
