"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I have used OLD almost exclusively in the past 5 years and do great.
me as well. POF, Tinder, Bumble and Hot or Not. A few dry spells but more often than not theres is always something in the hopper.
Good pictures and a good profile are a must unless you look like Brad Pitt.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hi
I am quiet new in this. Recently i decided to use apps to help me with meeting new girls due to covid going out is nearly impossible. After 2 weeks of using (tinder, badoo, bumble and happen) I literally got nothing. I read how to optimize profiles to be more attrsctive etc. Hard for me to judge my own appearance but anyways i thought its going to be easier.
Do you have any tips or similar experiences?
I live in UK
Try using Facebook Dating and Hinge. Those are the best two apps right now.

Get some professional pictures taken. Preferably outside because studio shots look too try hard. Pictures are the most important thing on your profile. They will literally make you or break you.

Use an opener that is a funny open ended question. Don't ever open with "Hey" or "Hi." If you have a good career then make sure you list your job title on your profile.

Try to keep the back and forth to under 10 messages and then ask her to get a drink with you. Once she says yes, then get her number.

I hope these tips help. I can't stress enough about how important the pictures and the opener are.

Yup. Women read profiles whether the "it's all about pics" crew wants to admit it or not. And it matters.

Inside her mind
OLD is a lot tougher right now, women don't want to meet it up
If you do meet than yeah it's easier to smash (depending on where you live, I live in a state with restrictions so women come over)
It's a lot of work/effort and honestly to me it's not worth it, im focused on stacking my money and getting in shape (put on damn near 20 pounds since June)
