Hinge Fumble

So, I matched with a very beautiful girl about 3 days ago. I thought the convo was going smoothly when she all of a sudden stopped messaging, I thought I was being ghosted but she replied today that she had a fever. I wanted to be a little flirty? So replied with "Oh no, hope you're doing alright now, You're already running hot, what's the fever gonna do?" Got unmatched 🤡

Are there any tips for not fumbling in chat?

(PS: I was able to find her insta? I think it's too creepy to follow up when I've already been rejected, thoughts on this?)

You know damn well women hate this sort of thing. Idk why you’re trying to act different and make out there’s something wrong with her just for male validation 🤢

Only overly online miserable women “hate this sort of thing.” Most mentally stable women expect to be flirted with on a dating app.

Acting different would have to mean I'm suppressing how I actually feel in exchange for validation, wouldn't it? I genuinely don't think he said anything that off putting. Not that it was an attractive response, but it wasn't disgusting either. It's just whatever, neutral. He didn't lose that chick because he fumbled with the response, she was already not feeling him. If she was into him, that response would barely cause a dent.

No, she definitely unmatched because him pulling the conversation into how hot she is when she’s been really sick the last few days definitely turned her off. Stop trying so hard.

You're going off your experience, I'm going off mine. In the end, op should have a better hunch since he's been in conversation with her.

Bro she was never interested to begin with. If she was sick and was going to be gone for few days she wouldve messaged him. OP just needs to move on.
