i put a profile on Bumble about 3 weeks ago, and i’ve only gotten one message in my chat. i’m using it free, so even though it says i have 150+ likes and a shifting number next to “Really into you,” it says that next to its Pay for Premium link, so i’m not considering those real, and it’s not letting me access those profiles in any way.

BUT i was under the impression i could use this app for free and still make some matches and have access to chats with them. am i doing something wrong?

(this post doesn’t seem to allow me to attach pics, but i’ll try to reply a screencap of my photos there if anyone wants to give me pointers! i don’t have a ton of pics of myself on my camera roll, but i’m not a troll lol)

I did it. I found a local social event, and took myself out there alone! It was a themed event, and we were asked to change tables to sit with new groups about every 30 minutes. I had been afraid I’d get stuck saying awkward things, not quite being able to match the vibe, but it was easy and fun!
I was even offered a phone number and two instagrams …except it was by 20- and 30-somethings with completely platonic, friendly, fun intentions. 😂

I’m counting it as a win, but I will be keeping in mind: I really need to focus on my flirting game. 🤭

Wish me luck!
