People who don't use Tinder think that it's a hookup app. Can it be used for it? Sure.

It's not a hookup app though

It is how it started. But lets not have that convo again, please.

Dating or hookup, it doesn't matter, the app facilitates connections, nothing more.

This gets tiresome after a while and I wonder if they are interested in me since they don't really ask questions of me. Inevitably I get bored and stop asking questions and move on.

Am I doing something wrong to get bored or if these women were interested the convo would actually go two ways?
You probably aren't asking the right questions in the right way and then directing the conversation to get these women more involved.

Either that, or they have decided they don't like you after they have met you.

It would be tiresome and it's another indicator of the trend of manners and expectations of proper behavior slipping. Basically some people don't give a rats azz anymore about social etiquette.

It's too easy to "swipe right" or whatever the heck it is people say about going on to see what's better on the next profile.

Dissenter, can you please clarify?


Are you just texting them? Are you talking on the phone? Or are you meeting them?

Well there is your answer. Don't expect conversations to go on long without you asking them to meet. No one wants to do that crud.

Yep.

Cut to the chase. Nothing wrong with asking her to grab some coffee or w/e in your first message.
