So I was swiping on all the local cuties and I finally matched! I shouldn’t say “finally”, I’ve been matching since I moved here. But one of these super hot guys swiped on me, we exchanged two messages, but on my reply he never wrote back.
Now I see him updating his photos fairly regularly, but even still – no read receipt. Maybe he didn’t get it, but maybe he’s ignoring it. And that sucks. Sucks a lot. Part of me thinks it might be Tinder’s messaging platform sucking and just not sending the message even though it says “sent”.
So I’m stuck between messaging again after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Maybe he’ll message, maybe he won’t. I know the “suggested” time between sending a first (maybe ignored) and follow-up message is 7-10 days. I’m at day 8, so we’re in “safe” territory. I’m just not super sure I should do it now or wait another couple days so that I’m not annoying.
Screw it – I’m going to send a message. Sometimes I hate Tinder, but given I’m searing for love – it’s kind of hard to avoid these dating apps with the world shut down.
