Random Talk

[Nintex]

After adding some romance I got matched on Bumble, solid 7, perhaps closer to an 8 in some ways.
Fumbled it on the first chat message and she unmatched, it was clearly not good enough. I also didn't realize that it wasn't a back and forth 'chat' that opened, but really just 1 message you can send and then she has to respond within 24 hours.

I think my humor was too dark too soon, although I did add my intention that I wanted to take her out.

She had on her profile that she liked self deprecating jokes, functioned without coffee and she enjoyed watching dashcam videos as a guilty pleasure. Her opening question was:
"What do you look forward to"

So I replied with:
"I look forward to not drinking coffee and crashing my car so you can add it to your dashcam video collection. But let's go have dinner first "
Stupid, because this is the moment I should've been ROMANTIC and not a funny man (but they throw me off because they say they want humor) .

Most of these girls have the same openings, so I need to research and workshop some good ones to get the chat rolling.
But I have to persuade them to date with the romance and leave the jokes for the date itself.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

I also forgot to add a pic of myself with the first message, someone told me that is very important to show you're not a bot or pretending to be someone else.
Plus she told me that a lot of the girls on these apps are deep down a bit insecure too because they too have to rely on them so if you lean into their profile too much they might think you are making fun of them.

But if that's the kind of cute nerd I'm pulling from the bumble gacha machine within a week, I'm not dissapointed at all.

Out of the 3 matches so far, this was definitely the best one and shows that I don't really have to lower my standards but I do have to be less of an idiot
