Current Events > Honestly. There's a lot of toxic info about online dating. Trust your gut.

(+) Yeah! (+)

You have to be super careful about giving advice about online dating these days. Because you dont want to give the same advice to a incel creep nice guy as an actual decent human being.

That being said, for example. Many people would tell you: if they dont reply NEVER double message and be needy. Just move the fuck on. Which is good advice in a vacuum. It also fails to account people have lives and forget and the person isnt a self absorbed malicious asshole for forgetting to reply.

In select cases where I felt the chat died prematurely and radio silence for days, weeks, I just hit them with a hey come back and its had a good success rate of rekindling the convo.

Again, I emphasize I use sparingly because I really dont care if most chats die. Its usually because the person seems as interesting as a pot of dirt. If the person actually seems cool I think it doesnt hurt to give a little more then you get sometimes.

If they forget to talk to you then it ain't worth it

Feeling like youre being treated as disposable and reacting to that as kind is exactly the toxic info Im addressing in this topic. Handle it as you want, but for anyone willing to listen. Its not always the healthiest response.

texting someone "hey come back" after weeks of silence sounds pretty cringe tbh

Incels somehow got a platform so thats why this shit proliferates

Enjoy your disease'ridden hookers, incel nation.

Yall analyze shit way too much, like trying to mine the cringe out of an empty cave. Well thats how I read this anyway.

If they truly werent interested, theyd never reply to it or just unmatch you right then. Who fuckin cares how long its been, who she is, or why she did it. Its a total stranger. If you feel it could be worth to try to further a conversation, you literally dont have much to lose.

Shit the cringy thing to me is thinking too hard about it. Stop that.

I wouldnt think that hard about it. its a tiny bit playful, simple and right to the point. But again its a rare situation where I actually want them to come back at that point so my sample size is limited. But you try what works for you. This has for me.
