So a pretty issue I have been running into is oddly specific but, I will run down my usual set up.

I usually just swipe as much as I can and I just wait for the ladies to respond first. I know it seems very counter productive but, there is a method to my madness. I cast a wide net and this allows me to filter out the ones who aren't interested. Usually I get about a 30% match messages ratio and it really saves on time. Usually I'll just get a "heyy" or a "hi". My main goal at this point is to get their preferred method of contact (insta, snap, number) with as few messages as possible.

The conversation will go pretty smoothly from there. I'll ask some discovery questions and figure out what really interests them (their career, hobbies ext) and I'll try to ask as many questions about the topic as possible. I never talk about myself unless I'm asked. I will then some how bring to the subject of coffee and ask them out. If they say yes I will find a coffee shop with a hallway calculator. I always copy a link of the place of interest so that way it's easiest as possible for them. Often times they will say yes and I'll ask if they want to set up phone call. Usually they are willing but scheduling is an issue sometimes.

Anyways at some point after I will randomly get left on read. After about 48 hours I will post a story of me playing guitar or hiking with my dog and they will send a totally out of context selfi. I will usually wait about 2-5 hours reply back with selfi with a silly face with text. They often reply almost instantly. This can go back and forth for a while and once I try ask any questions even as light hearted as "so are you fan of memes" I get left on read again.

It would be one thing if this was just a one time occurrence but, it's been very frequently lately. There must be something I'm doing wrong or not enough that's leading me to this situation. Any advice to improve my game would be greatly appreciated
