Would it be insane to add a Dating app ghost to LinkedIn for “networking”?
Hey guys, I need an objective opinion.
I matched with a guy on a dating app a few weeks ago. We chatted for a bit and found out we both attended the same state school and are both finance majors. The catch is that he’s like 31 and I’m 20, and he lives in New York City while I’m more upstate.
After talking for a short time, he completely ghosted me. It’s been about two weeks, and I can see that he’s still active on the app.
He only gave me his first name and some other personal stuff, but through some detective work, I found his LinkedIn profile. Since we’re in the same field, part of me is thinking, “Okay, if the romantic angle is dead, maybe I can at least secure a business connection.”
Would it be absolutely unhinged to send him a LinkedIn connection request? Or is that crossing a line since he clearly stopped responding?
Am I networking… or just professionally stalking?
I am being serious btw.
