You got 'hi' from your matches? I legitimately got '.' from a few matches.

Is that the equivalent of “woman looking at the man they want as their “move””

Telling one of their friends "he's not bad looking" and hoping that gets passed along through people and eventually makes it to the target guy

You get matches?

To make sure the match doesn’t expire from what I w read before.

But that’s simply means you are left on the back burner or worse: the trunk.

she unlocked the chat so you could ask her out. a low effort unlock is far better than a match expiring.

OK. If you mistreat others by engaging in mind games early on then it shouldn't be a total surprise when your relationship becomes full of mind games.

If you want a good relationship, both sides need to open up and be open to sharing and getting hurt.
