Recently I (M) got a new match (F) on Feeld. This is shocking in and of itself. I initiated the conversation and asked her what she was looking for specifically. One thing that she mentioned was erotic massage so I took that as an opportunity to ask her more about it, what she likes about it, etc.

The entire conversation was me asking a question and her answering. If I didn’t then ask another question, there was no further messages. Finally I said, “is there anything you’d like to know about me?” and that’s when she left the chat.

That was kind of a hit to my self-esteem but it got me thinking: what kinds of conversations keep you engaged in chats with people you match with on dating apps? I seem to have this trouble a lot where someone will match with me, barely say anything, and then bounce. I don’t want to seem pushy by asking someone to meet immediately and would rather get to know them a little first, but this doesn’t seem like a popular sentiment.

(for those thinking the person I matched with was a bot, it’s possible but she had a paid membership and she didn’t really pressure me into meeting immediately like any other bots I’ve accidentally encountered in the past)
