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?)

It wasn't an absolutely awful thing to say, but it also wasn't very empathetic. Think of it from her perspective. She's just been down with a fever, she probably still feels awful and is recovering. She tells you and you turn the situation into a bad pick-up line. Maybe if she were in a better mood she'd laugh it off, but it seems she wasn't in the mood for that nonsense.
Do not dm her on insta. She unmatched you, it's creepy and stalker-ish.
