Little bit about me before I dive into the issue at hand: 22, total virgin, hilariously socially inept, 6'2, look slim in clothes but actually skinnyfat, monitoring my diet, hitting the gym and seeing progress, decent or just slightly above average facial aesthetics.

​

I installed Tinder last week as an attempt to build up abundance mentality and break out of my comfort zone one step at a time, and it's been pretty much a massive fail so far. I do have good pictures and a short bio which says which Uni I'm attending, my height and that I like girls with blue eyes, threw that in there just to spice it up a little.

Got no matches for the first few days, then I matched with a girl who's like 40 miles away because I was bored one afternoon and extended the search range. It was an instant match, which means she liked me before I liked her. I dropped her a message soon afterwards with something along the lines of "hey (*insert name*) can you teleport, because Tinder just halved the distance between us and I could use that ability sometimes" *(before I swiped right the app said she was 40 miles away and after we matched it said she was 20 miles away, probably a bug or something but whatever)*. *Also don't roast me too much this is literally the first pick up line I've used in my entire life, sounded good when I thought of it but ever since then I cringe a bit when I remember it*. She responded by saying "Ooh, a *insert eastern European capital city here* boy", to which I replied "Ooh, a girl from a still unknown town", hoping she'd get the hint and respond by saying where she's from. 3 days later, still no response. In retrospect that was probably a terrible way of sliding into DMs and an even worse response to her message, but I'm trying my best here. Also she's still my only match and didn't unmatch me.

​

I'm just wondering whether or not I should try to initiate the convo again, since I'm not really aiming at f-closing ASAP, just at bettering my conversational skills with women and later go up the ladder and aim at relationship-y stuff.
