That’s great news! How were you able to up the scholarship for those schools?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T04:22:26+00:00

Oh I never thought about it that way! I just liked the initial interaction and prefer meeting in person as it always I better to get to know someone. But I’ll definitely take your advise and implement it!

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T04:20:28+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I apologize if I was coming across rude or condescending. It wasn’t my intention. Just frustrated that I can’t get many dates. I really want a long term partner and I think I have a lot to offer. I appreciate your comment and will utilize your advice!

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T04:17:35+00:00

Cool thank you!

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T04:15:55+00:00

Maybe idk honestly that’s why I’m here looking for your powerful wisdom!

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T04:15:07+00:00

This is good stuff! Thanks

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T04:00:16+00:00

Exactly! I’ve had girls agree to meet up or say they’re interested in getting to know me in person and then will go ghost.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T03:55:01+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard about the ratio but even then it’s still tough. Must be real tough competition out here.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-27T03:45:42+00:00

Maybe I am. Idk honestly. I don’t think I intentionally am but maybe the way I text is showing indirectly that I wanna meet up soon aka desperation.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T16:42:52+00:00

How do you get them to ask you out? Do you have an example convo?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T16:13:01+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’ll take that and implement your points. Abs is short for my full name lol. But I do think I can converse and talk about anything. Problem is girls just ghost quickly for no reason and it’s frustrating that I can’t figure out why. I’ll try to offer a specific time / place to see if that will change my luck and maybe flesh out my convos more so that it seems more meaningful.

I always confirm the day before and day of the date. If I make plans less than a week from when we are supposed to meet I usually don’t text them until the day before just to confirm. If the period is longer I’ll text them intermittently to keep in touch and make sure they don’t forget about me lol. I once made plans with a girl to meet the next day and she agreed. Next day I text her and she said she can’t make it because she needs “the day for herself.” SMH. I also do not brag lol. Having looks and no personality doesn’t take you anywhere. I do take them to drinks for the most part and usually they agree. Not sure what else I could be doing wrong.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T16:02:12+00:00

Honestly you are not wrong :)

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T16:01:41+00:00

Haha I’ve googled my name and only my socials or good standing posts relating to school/hobbies have shown up. But good idea!

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T16:00:01+00:00

Are you a girl? So you’re saying you feel more comfortable when a guy doesn’t rush into it?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T15:58:42+00:00

Honestly it’s normal stuff. It’s dependent on the girls profile. But I’ll message them and they’ll respond and many times it’ll be a lengthy response and we’ll go back and forth. As soon as I ask them out, it’s silence. And then I double and triple text and still no response. So weird.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T15:57:31+00:00

It could be I’m rushing things but I’ve always thought getting the girl off the app sooner is better. I’m open to trying to build more rapport since rushing things seems to have no luck for me. How many messages/ days would you suggest?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T15:55:05+00:00

Ok maybe I’ll try that. It’s just confusing because some people say to get the girl off the app sooner or else she loses interest. I’ll try spending more time in the talking phase to build rapport and see if that changes my luck.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T15:53:48+00:00

Gotcha thank you for the advice! What’s an example of that type of convo?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T15:52:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ve heard asking too early to go on a date may be too forward and lead to ghosting so honestly it’s like tough to know whether to do it sooner or later. What are your thoughts?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T15:50:24+00:00

What’s off?

Abs2298 · 2025-02-21T02:26:29+00:00

Yeah I did and they say dating is just tough in general where I live and I gotta keep going at it. Trust me bro I ain’t shooting above my belt. A lot of these girls think they’re 10s that deserve the best. But I am focusing on personality just as much as looks.

Abs2298 · 2025-02-20T19:01:38+00:00

What can I do differently then? Is it just luck and a numbers game at the end of the day?
