Dating apps have made it easier than ever to meet someone new, but they’ve also given people a whole new way to embarrass themselves. A single message can lead to a great conversation, lead to an awkward silence, or make someone reconsider their entire approach to romance. And sometimes, the funniest part isn't even the attempt to impress someone, but the unexpected response that follows.
Bumble users know this all too well, as the app's chats can produce everything from clever comebacks and ridiculous pickup lines to exchanges that take a turn nobody could have predicted. Luckily, some of these conversations are too entertaining to disappear into the chat history, giving the rest of us a front-row seat to the wonderfully unpredictable side of online dating.

Idk, seems to me like this was just a joke. Like something I’d do. But im also a sarcastic smart a*s and I almost always come across weird in texts etc. that’s why I tend to use a million lols when I talk online lol it’s a bad habit to hopefully keep people from taking my smart mouth too seriously

How old is Tristan? He doesn't know how to use punctuation and I'm uncomfortable with his inability to use a real word to describe his discomfort.

"I enjoyed meeting you" would be nice but all he got from their encounter was that she had a nice necklace. So many people are clueless on what pleased other people. A well placed compliment costs nothing.

'Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey' goes the old saying. Patience is a virtue as well and 'not jumping to conclusions'. If you've really been ghosted, man, let it go because it is gone already.

I would vote but none of the choices are, "Because dating sites are exhausting and soul-draining".
Agreed! The mere thought of jumping back into online dating makes me feel fatigued.
