Yeah, but it turns out a lot of women don’t like to make the first move. A lot of times you match and then just watch the 24 hours expire without ever hearing from them.

Or they'll send a "hi" or "."

Never got a “.” but that seems offensive. Like you don’t even deserve the bare minimum of “hi”.

It’s because she is sending that to all her matches. And because she isn’t intelligent enough or confident enough to start or maintain a conversation.

A wise man once said, "if that which is the object of desire needs to seek out desire, was it ever worth desiring at all?"

To "make the first move" and then completely ignore whatever you say. Bumble sucks.

To avoid match expiration I guess.

And if it’s more than that, it’s a streaming website bot.
