I'll usually try to go for the number, but often times I'll ask for a girl's IG if I think the situation calls for it. If she gives me her instagram on a dating app, I'd say 95% of the time she follows back. In cold approach, I'd say about 50% of the time I get the IG she'll follow me back.

If a girl doesn't follow me back, I'll usually give it a day or so and then unfollow and not bother messaging her. And even then that's not a foolproof strategy - some girls who do follow back still won't respond or stop responding. In short, I realize a follow means absolutely nothing.

However, earlier today I matched with a girl on hinge who was smoking hot. To put it into perspective this was a Latina with insane curves from the standouts page. So, I quickly moved her to instagram after a handful of messages since I had a feeling getting her number might be tough.

I followed and messaged her (public profile) there, however, she didn't follow me back despite responding. I'm like, wtf? You're gonna go into your message requests and accept the chat + respond, but not follow me back? I have a private account and she follows a ton of people, so it doesn't make any sense to me.

Despite her responding, is this her way of showing she's not all that interested? Or should I not think too much into it? I can't ask her out yet until next week when I'm back in town, but I've never had this happen before, so I'm not sure if I'm stupid to keep pursuing or if there's some chance this could be considered normal.
