r/DatingApps

Don't get me wrong, if someone is no longer interested in someone, thats their right.

But normally or ideally when it comes to dating apps, if someone is no longer interested in someone, why don't they just unmatch the other person rather than just stop replying to their messages?

I'm sure people would rather be unmatched by the person who is no longer interested, but instead keep them in their match list and stop responding.

52M, newish to the dating apps.

I get a like, we match and I send a message - sometimes a simple hello, sometimes a comment on a picture, and sometimes a bold statement that’s designed to evoke a reaction.

Why are these messages being ignored? I mean if you like someone, wouldn’t you want to hear from them?

Maybe I am too much of an old school guy.

Like i swear every single person i see on tinder is the same, every white woman has the same interests same look, THE EXACT SAME POSES IN THEIR PICTURES, Like OMG I can't differentiate between them sometimes

I’m 23F, and whenever a guy I’m talking to on a dating app asks for my Instagram, I give it to him and we follow each other. But then the conversation just dies and neither of us messages the other 😂

Am I missing something? I’ve always assumed that if he asks for my Instagram, he’ll be the one to restart the conversation there. But maybe I’m wrong and I’m actually meant to slide into his DMs first?

What’s the normal etiquette here? If a guy asks for your Insta and you follow each other, do you wait for him to message you, or should you make the first move?

I do.

Theres no way you still look like what you did at that wedding you attended years ago.

Or that selfie with the OG instagram filters or snap chat dog ears.

Aging is okay guys, I’d just like to see the current version of you 💐

Coming from someone who met someone who looked WAAAY more aged than their pictures in person. Not a problem- it just catches me off guard.

..but why? Especially if you plan to meet in person?

Hi there,

are here any men who have "blind" dated a girl who didn't have any face pictures on her profile? Can you tell me if they were attractive when you met them? Wondering if there are mainly other reasons they don't put face pics on their profile rather than being unattractive.

for what i am seeing everywhere some of the dating apps requires paywall, and sometimes bunch of the profile there are not even real? so I am really curious is it really worth it to spend some in dating apps or just go out and meet someone normally?

So I'm on tinder, bumble, hinge, and feeld. Each of them shows you how many people liked you, but won't tell you unless you get premium. So, for example, there are ten women who like me on tinder. I just swiped my limit and now that number is... still ten. So tinder didn't show me a single person who liked me. Same with bumble and feeld. On hinge I just straight up have no likes. It's ridiculous.

Hi - I’m getting back into dating and I’m curious what other women use to describe their body type on dating profiles.

I’m overweight/plus-size, and I’m trying to figure out what wording feels best. I’ve considered curvy, full-figured, plus-size, thick, etc., but I’m not sure what gives an accurate impression without making it sound like I’m apologizing for my body.

I’m also wondering how much these terms actually matter. Do you find that “curvy” gives people an accurate idea of your size, or is it better to be more direct and say full-figured? That sounds so dated!

For those of you who are plus-size and date online, what wording do you use, and has it affected the kind of responses you get? I just want to attract the right kind of person…
Thanks!!!!

We joined the app to find a third for our couple and say this in our bio. Yet all our likes are men and never get one female or a return like, where are we going wrong?

I’ve tried OkCupid and POH. Are all blurred behind a paywall?

Hi! I am new to dating apps and I have a genuine question. When I set up my profile I choose "I have no kids". While it's true to an extent, I am divorced and helped my ex-wife raise the kids. They are not biologically mine. I came into their lives when they were in grade school. They are grown and live their own lives, but we are still close. One of my step kids has children of her own and they call me grandpa. I am very active in their lives, not at all with the ex-wife.

Am I being misleading by saying I don't have kids? I want to be transparent and I don't want to put anyone off.

I saw something recently about Asian guys are the group that gets swiped left the most.

I've been single my whole life, I am 27, and I have recently tried some dating apps like Bumble, Hinge, Tantan, and even Boo, but they all are paid services and I don't seem to recieve any response.

I am somewhat good looking, to new people or even some friends have hard time believing that I don't have or had girlfriend (not bragging here).

I am looking for genuine advice as to what I am doing wrong or what I can actually do. There are times when I see some very attractive girls on metro and even when I am on walk, something there are even eye contact longer than few seconds, but I don't approach them because of the social fear and how it might turn out in public place or I might get treated as creep. I don't know what to do.

Do y’all also look at someone’s picture, think they’re attractive/ your type.. but then look at their eyes and decide to swipe No because they seem sinister or not a good person or something?

I had that with my ex and decided to go on the date and told myself that it’s dumb and I have to meet the person behind the profile. During our relationship I thought how silly it would’ve been if I hadn’t gone on the first date because his eyes looked a bit off to me. IRL he was so kind. But of course he’s an ex now and I think my gut was right 😅 as I started seeing a selfish side to him.

Is it just me? Dumb thing to judge someone for their eyes and can it tell us something?

I am 56yo and on FB, Hinge and Tinder. What is the age range fir a 56yo man I should have?

Dear couples on the apps looking for "single female" to join them for a FMF relationship/ONS

Public service announcements: Single females are not here to satisfy your relationship. If you want a FMF dynamic, hire a professional.

It boggles the mind why married women entertain this nonsense. Does your hubby feel that you are no good enough for him? If that is the case, dump that loser and trust me, he will have a hard time finding another woman.

If your wife is straight, why not give her a hall pass to go out and enjoy as many men as she wants.

If your wife is bi, why not give her a hall pass to go out and enjoy as many women as she wants.

That is if you really do love her since you want to enjoy a FMF dynamic so much :)

For those single females out there who don't see an issue with this, try asking the wife how she really feels about it.

Specifically “hetero” couples. It’s always on the girls profile. She’ll be the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen. Then comes the picture of her crusty (and usually balding) man. Just why?

I'm genuinely curious.

Overall I think hinge is better than tinder. Less shallow. The girls seem to just be “better” on hinge but maybe it’s just me
