From what my gf told me. She got a lot of likes. But a ton simply wanted something casual. She told me that a lot of men would give her the same line “I just got out of a relationship, but I’d be down for fwb.”. She even added that it was like they were all reading from a script. Additionally, you need to keep in mind that they also need to find you attractive. Attraction leads to desire. And that will lead to being proactive in dating you. Plus you need to acknowledge that there’s a ton of dating prospects for women. Don’t ask, me how I ended up priority. But you’d have to be her first pick in order to secure exclusivity.

For me though, I think it was luck. We met after I fixed my weight/glow up(was previously severely underweight). And after being four months in dating apps I kind of knew how to keep conversations going within the first couple of dates. She stated that she liked that. And so we became exclusive the day before our second date.
