10 reasons why she doesn’t text back
Have you ever messaged a woman and wondered why she doesn’t message you back?
In the past, I had always thought it was common courtesy to respond to anyone who had messaged me. However, after using my first dating app (Unveil), I’ve came to an understanding as to why some women do not return messages.
(Note: The app uses your voice instead of text, but it’s the same concepts)
After using the application for a few months, I have identified many reasons why women may not respond. Here are ten reasons:
1. She wasn’t serious all along
Some people sign up for dating apps due to boredom or curiosity. She may not have any intentions of meeting anyone. Sometimes, she just wants to know how many people she could match with.
Initially, I downloaded unveil so I could write a review on it. Now, I use it for research purposes.
2. You’re too serious
If you sound too serious early on, you can scare her away. For example, once a guy messaged me and told me his entire life story the first time we exchanged messages. I was wondering, “Why is he telling me so much personal information? I barely even know him!”
Don’t invest so much emotion into someone unless she has shown a bit of interest.
3. You seem desperate
If you make it seem like she’s your only option, she will be turned off. Don’t always be the first one to message her. Allow her to respond or initiate. If you’re constantly trying to get her attention, she will think you’re super needy and will most likely find you less attractive. Continue reading “10 reasons why she doesn’t text back”
3 helpful dating tips for men (and women!)
Hello, my dear readers!
This post is based on my own experiences and is biased. Please understand there isn’t something that will work for every single woman/man. My intention is to help you. These tips are for the initial stage when you’re trying to get her/him interested.
1. Ask for her advice
Oftentimes, guys may notice someone they find attractive but do not know how to approach them without seeming creepy or desperate.
Well, I have the perfect solution for you! Go up to your “target” and ask for her opinion.
Women love to share their thoughts and give advice. Use this to your advantage. For example, you can go up to her and ask, “Hey. I’m debating between this *show her the item* and this *show her the other item*. I would like to get a woman’s opinion. Which would you choose and why?”
Unless you come off as a creep, chances are, she will stop and give you her opinion.
Once you get her talking, it is much easier to carry on the conversation. Notice her body language though. If she looks uncomfortable and wants to leave, don’t push it and just thank her for her time.
(A woman can do this too. It might seem rather bold, but I’m sure most men wouldn’t mind.) Continue reading “3 helpful dating tips for men (and women!)”
The texting game
In today’s world, technology has really changed how relationships work. People no longer have to make direct phone calls or go to the person’s house in order to make plans. Nowadays, the majority of the people text.
Therefore, if you suck at texting, you’re in trouble.
I’m going to share a real story with you guys. It was a conversation between me and my friend. She had recently downloaded a lot of dating apps and was trying them out. She matched with a few guys and immediately messaged them.
Me: You messaged him? You should probably have waited for him to initiate a conversation!
Friend: Why? If we matched, what’s the point if we don’t talk to each other?
Me: True…but it’s already so easy for the guys. They can swipe hundreds of people in a matter of minutes. Plus, it only takes a few seconds to start a conversation. If he doesn’t even need to start a conversation, he might not value you. What did you say?
Friend: I said, “Hi, Joseph.”
Me: SO FORMAL!?!?! Omg, if you’re going to say something. You should make a comment about his profile or picture or something. Or tell a joke. It would be more interesting!?!
Friend: Why do I have to purposely change myself?
Me: Okay okay. Do whatever you want. I just don’t want you to get hurt. Most of the time, people might be playing the texting game.
Friend: What’s the texting game? Why do we have to play games? I just want to get straight to the point. Don’t waste my time. Continue reading “The texting game”
