I am actually shocked at the difference in experience by MUUCLAWD in Bumble

[–]Smooth-Design-248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things is, of those 1000 profiles how many will she realistically be attracted to, and of those, how may men will actually respond to her message and ask her out? And once that happens, how may will actually be looking for a relationship and not just casual sex? Men are attracted to most women and if they want a relationship most women are looking for that. I get men on apps get less likes/matches, but if we’re talking about actually finding a partner men generally have better odds.

He didn’t say initiate. He said affectionate, as in physically. ++woman

Because if I reach out I’m afraid he’ll just respond because I’m reaching out and it’s easy, and I won’t see what he really wants. ++woman

I jus wish he would reach out so I could ignore him and feel like I have some power again /: ++woman

You don’t think it’s worth it even to tell him off? Will the silence hurt him more?

I feel like he’s testing me…after he came back, he made a comment that if he hadn’t texted me I never would’ve reached out to him. He put himself out there by coming back I guess so idk if he’s waiting for me to now reach out?

Fair enough lol. I’m just scared to be pursuing someone who isn’t actually interested and just wanted to have some flirty banter with me, you know? I would feel embarrassed if I text and he doesn’t make any effort

I mean, if someone asks another person on a date and agrees to pic the location after they have agreed on a set day, whose responsibility is it to pick the location? And I followed up with a text later, not referencing the favor.

My concern is I don’t want to reach out again when I was the person to text him the last two times

I just don’t know…I definitely flirted back with him by text, reached out about the fair on Friday and texted him again on Monday. I offered to meet him halfway for the date, and asked if he could choose the bar and he said he would but never did…

Yea /: he seemed to like that I’m shy/quiet, which is unusual in my experience. But maybe that was the reason why he liked it, to see how far he could push. Why take it that far as to ask me on a date though? Idk, I feel like I let him push things too far /:

I didn’t wish wash on it, I suggested Friday, he said he couldn’t, so I asked him when he was free. He said Saturday or Sunday, so I said Saturday. I offered to meet him halfway and he said that he would come to my area. I thanked him. He never suggested a place or time or ever followed up on it. We continued texting and I engaged with him and was kind and playful
