1. I get a match, and this woman messages me and says "you the one daddy." I asked her to elaborate and she said I'd make a perfect model for a well known old woman. I unmatched her in world record speed.

2. I decided to embrace a strategy of playing the numbers game and just swipe right to everyone. I get a match with someone I used to hang out with a couple of years ago. I know her but not too well. She looks okay, but the thing feels awkward to me. I still have her matched but I haven't messaged her after a few weeks.

3. I spent the last two weeks mostly in my office but I matched with this gorgeous woman who has everything I want physically in a woman. She had started to do a fade out of interest by not messaging me the last couple of days. I accept it as she ain't interested. I go out to get some groceries today and I happened to see her in an aisle. I do what I can to avoid her because I don't want any awkward .

So I found out that while I have no problem taking up against any guy who messes with me or my friends, I'm super awkward and scared to talk to women on a romantic level. Don't know what the hell to do about it, but I'm still trying.

Aw man for #3 you should have said hi to her a bit, say something to get her to laugh and feel comfortable, etc.

You could have had a field day with it, and who knows maybe a number.


So bro an opportunity missed I think. I think the first step is to talk to them on a friendly level, tease, joke, and flirt a bit to make them feel comfortable around you, and then be opportunistic.
