40 Times Bumble Conversations Took Such An Unexpected Turn, People Had To Share Them On This Online Group
Online dating is like navigating a minefield without a metal detector. Sure, it's possible to beat it. But the chances of you making it to the other side in one piece are slim.
To illustrate just how chaotic this journey can be, we at Bored Panda decided to take a deep dive into the subreddit r/Bumble.
As you probably can guess, its members share content that comes from the app of the same name. Good and bad. Some hit it off with a complete stranger in just a few messages while others click 'Unmatch' even faster.
Continue scrolling to check out some of the most surprising posts we found on the subreddit!

A dating app’s success arguably hinges more on its cultural presence than its underlying technology, and nothing took over the culture like Tinder, however, your own personal background, like your gender, also greatly colors your online dating experience. So, if you're a woman, Bumble may be the superior option for you.
I mean, there will always be guys who message them using some kind of sexually explicit language that they think is hilarious and will 100% get them laid, but the clear difference between Bumble and the before-mentioned Tinder is that women must send the first message within 24 hours of matching. This is to minimize those creepy messages from dudes and allow the ladies to come up with fun pickup lines.
That’s How Ya Do It Folks
When people tell me they like my name… “thanks. My parents gave it to me.”
For our earlier publication on awesome Tinder profiles, dating coach Hayley Quinn said that being unique is highly important in the world of online dating.
"With so much choice it's too easy for people to become banner blind and not realize what an amazing option you are," she said. "In terms of quick fixes make sure your profile is a cliche free zone ('looking for my partner in crime...') and that you always state things specifically rather than generally."
"For example, saying, 'I like to travel,' is nowhere near as attention-grabbing as, 'already googling my first post lockdown trip to Thailand. (Sidenote: do you like Thai food?)' Finally, ensure you write your profiles in a way that's conversational and informal: a fun hack to help you with this is to dictate your profile first, to get more of your personality into it."
I Have Never Used A Dating App Nor Have I Ever Dated Anyone. Am I Doing This Right
Had A Good Date And Got This Lovely Message From Him After - Two Months Later He Still Sends Messages Like This After Dates
Guess I’m Not Spontaneous Enough Lol
Of course, nobody is safe here from running into a weirdo, but that shouldn't discourage you from swiping.
With so many dating websites and apps out there, it has become normal to use them for meeting someone new—there are about 40 million Americans who do so. And even though eHarmony claims that 27% of young adults are using online dating sites (which is up 10% from 2013), new findings suggest it's neither better nor worse than getting to know a person in real life. At least in terms of success rate.
One study, published in the journal Psychological Science, claims it's actually impossible to figure out whether or not people who have the same values and character traits will fall in love. "Attraction for a particular person may be difficult or impossible to predict before two people have actually met," Samantha Joel, a University of Utah psychology professor and lead author, said in a press release.
"A relationship is more than the sum of its parts. There is a shared experience that happens when you meet someone that can’t be predicted beforehand," Joel said
So who cares if it happens on Bumble or Tinder?

Maybe I'm terrible, but I would lie and say I'm unvaccinated, go out and let them buy dinner, then let them know afterwards that I'm vaccinated and it only cost them ~$30 to find out that their made-up medical condition does not in fact exist.
I would bet money that if someone did this, they would either attribute any symptom they experience at any time afterward (fatigue? headache? diarrhea?) to this "allergy" or even start to feel vaguely ill as a result of being told this, possibly unable to describe their symptoms other than feeling "lightheaded" or "off" somehow and blame the "allergy." Either way, they will not find out their condition doesn't exist; it will reinforce their odd belief and they will blame you. I am more familiar with this type than I would like to be.

I've heard of this weird belief. Obviously they have no grasp of science, but I'm genuinely curious to hear how they think vaccinated people are causing an allergic reaction. Are they swallowing some part of the vaccinated person?
There is a belief among some anti-vaxxers that vaccinated people have received part of the virus in the vaccine (true of some vaccines, but none of the COVID vaccines contain live virus) and will "shed" it and others can pick it up. So maybe it's related to that. I mean, it's likely not a lot of reasoning went into this in any case.

She is lying,if she really was allergic she would be severely allergic by now. And would need to go to a hospital, in which she would be exposed to... You guessed it, and become even more allergic, which would lead to... Going to ICU where she would....Aaah, such a fun game this. Unless she is solely surrounded by unvaccinated creatures to begin with... Which is equally disturbing. 😂
What you do with someone like this is pay a super, super hot guy to match with her and show a lot of interest. Then see if she pulls that s**t. And if she does, he sees how far he can push her after he says he's vaccinated.
It would be so funny to say you're not vaxxed, go on the date, and then at the end tell them you actually are vaccinated. Watch them all of a sudden become "allergic"
Love to meet you baby - can't wait for our first kiss- by the way I have COVID - set meet time!
This is great news! Anybody she would consider is dead or soon will be! Thanks, Darwin!

I met my bf on Bumble 2 years ago. Before him, I matched them was ghosted only to rematch with a guy named Chad. I went on 1/2 a date with him… it ended early- his name fits him. (The ghosting should have been a clue). Fast forward to now and I find out Chad now works for the company I just started at. Thankfully in a different department.
Are there any apps for smart funny people who aren't perverts? Asking for a friend.
Here's one for your next collection... Someone has had a horrible Bumble experience apparently 😂 https://photos.app.goo.gl/iteXrzrrixv69twg8
