Edit: pretend I'm an alien on Earth who is physically attractive but has no idea what Tinder is, a hookup is, the beginning to end of the process of it all. You guys say just text them about logistics and flirting, or if your handsome they'll make it easy. Yeah no shit, what the fuck do you even text them, what is a Tinder day a bar or hanging out at their place?

I'm curious on the process on how to get a hookup through Tinder? What are some of the ways to start the conversation, how to escalate and how quickly to escalate into setting up a date? (Or is it just meeting up to fuck?)

I've never hooked up before. I'm finding out that I'm more of a "loverboy" where I've been in one LTR, and only know how to pursue women in that context, of getting to know them, taking them on a few dates (with the intent on becoming exclusive) then deciding if I want us to be exclusive.

I feel bad if I mislead a woman into a hookup when she is looking for more. The thing is, they seem to always be looking for more straight from the initial interaction?

I usually start by saying something like, "Hi name, how is your day going?"

And we get into a surface level convo, then usually talk about work/ hobbies. I don't know how to get them talking about themselves, and get stuck thinking that the more I share about myself, the more they'll be able to trust me as the honest man that I truly am.

Idk guys, ask me more clarifying questions if you need, but I am looking for like a step-by-step guide almost lol.
