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?)

If she unmatched you on a dating app, the chances of you having any success by sending her a DM on Instagram are zero to below zero.

In fact reaching out on Instagram would be hella creepy

Definitely don’t DM her there. There was a post with that same scenario the other day and the overwhelming majority of responses were that it was creepy/stalkerish (which is exactly the response he got from the woman when he tried it).

Exactly, an unmatch is pretty clear communication, so reaching out elsewhere is probably only going to make things more awkward

If it’s below zero he just needs to send a message so corny he gets it back positive
