So I can get matches, I've improved my openers and getting replies, but struggling to take the convo anywhere. It seems to get boring pretty quickly and they end up not replying.

I tend to stay on the same subject longer than needed and don't know how to freely change the topic. Don't really want to be speaking over Tinder for hours either though.

Would like to be able to at least get a phone number within 4-5 messages. Also, should I hit anyone who hasn't answered yet up? Just a last ditch message of sorts? Thanks
