[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, most men on dating apps are like that. I always just let it die.

I met my H on Bumble and he was great at keeping a conversation going because he was actually interested in *me*. Also asked me out quickly. I recommend bailing on the guys who don't put much effort and focusing on the few who do. [/quote]

I agree with this advice and would also add that guys who take long pauses to respond (e.g., days or hours later) are usually not that interested and only follow back up after something else has fallen through. During my dating app days, I recall getting flooded with interest or guys reemerging on Mondays, which obviously coincided with dates that didn't work out over the weekend, lol. Online dating sucks royally.[/quote]

I actually really disagree with this sentiment. A few years back when I was using apps, I was not a quick responder to messages. It frequently took me the better part of a day, or a full day to respond to someone. I mean, this person is a stranger on the internet, why would I be dropping my entire life to respond to them on a dating app? I had plans on weekend, didn't like to open dating apps while at work, etc. and these men were absolutely not priority when I had not even met them. I also had my app notifications off as I didn't want Bumble alerts popping up during work meeting, on other dates, or out with friends. Was I interested in possibly meeting them? Sure. Yes. That is why I was on the app. But also strangers on the internet could wait until I was done with a winery outing, or tennis, or work, or happy hour, or whatever.

If dudes don't ask questions, give it a few messages and if they don't get better, drop them. I guarantee after you don't respond for a couple days, they'll pop back around with a question or two if they are interested.
