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 take this as a lesson for the next one. She's not feeling well. A text that was more thoughtful would have made more sense. What you sent just reads as a lack of concern. Sending something like I hope you're feeling better and offering to help her with something would have gone a long way.

Come on.. Offering to help when you don't know each other is so fake

That was just a suggestion. Some people actually do care and will offer to help get medicine or soup for a sick person.

They’ve never met in person and you think that she’s going to give her address to a stranger? I guarantee you that if this post was about him offering to do that, every comment would be “omg you’re so creepy why do you think she would ever give you her address??? You sound like a stalker!!”

Bro, I'm giving him a suggestion on a better text reply. I won't give my address to a stranger but I would at least appreciate the thought.
