I'm a 19 year old virgin and I've been trying to use Tinder to get girls now that I'm back from college for the summer. When I opened my first Tinder account of the summer I got about 12 matches in the first day with my match rate drastically decreasing over time. I let my first account run its course for about 3 weeks, ending with a total of about 23 matches.

I've had my second account for a little over a week now, and I've seen roughly the same trends repeat themselves. Additionally it seems like I'm only able to convert ~2 of those 20 or so matches into exchanges of contact info (I usually ask for snapchat, idk if that's a mistake). Usually if it gets to this stage we've had a medium length conversation (I counted 20 messages before getting the snap with the most recent girl) and she seems to be enjoying my jokes, (which are usually pretty tame but are occasionally flirtatious). I've never been ghosted or rejected when I've asked for a girl's snap, so I think my timing is probably okay.

Once I add her on snap, I usually make a couple more jokes and will find some way to establish that I haven't misrepresented my appearance. Then I try to set up a date, which seems to literally never work for me. One girl claimed to be on vacation, so I let it sit for a few weeks and when I tried again she had deleted me on snap. Another girl claimed to be busy, and then never got back to me. I feel pretty frustrated and embarrassed that a month on Tinder w/ roughly 40 total matches hasn't translated into a single date. My game must be total shit. Any advice?

Addendum: My friends, who are primarily virgins as well, think my replies are usually pretty witty. Take that with a grain of salt.

In the past I think my teases have been a little too mean at times, and my replies sometimes made me look like I was trying too hard-- I've been working to fix both of these issues.

My friend who has recently become successful w/ girls (Fucked 4 different girls this year, 2 of which were reasonably attractive) advised me that girls on Tinder are usually looking for athletic, ripped dudes to hook up with and said that I should just be cold approaching girls on the street. While I see the merit in working up the nerve to cold approach, I feel like if my appearance were an issue I'd be getting fewer matches and therefore I must be fucking up in some other way.

TL;DR 19 year old virgin can't convert ~40 matches over 2 accts and a month of swiping into any actual dates. Any advice?
