Hi guys,

I go on a fair few dating App dates.

There was a girl I met in a bar the other day. We had LOTS of chemistry, and I genuinely fancied her. She asked me to message her the next day...

I'm just looking for tips to reduce the chances of getting either ghosted or flaked on :)

​

General critique welcomed - I've changed some of the names to keep privacy.

25/06/2019, 17:44 - Me: Haha plan 👌 Are you hungry because you haven't eaten since lunch, or because you're something weird like a vegan?

25/06/2019, 18:10 - Her (Nickname): Neither, just because I never stop eating :’)) hahah

25/06/2019, 18:10 - Her (Nickname): Food is like the best thing in life tbh, closely followed by shopping

25/06/2019, 21:47 - Her (Nickname): 🤣🤣

25/06/2019, 21:47 - Her (Nickname): Maura and Tom were about to go to the hideaway and then he ballsed it up :’)))

25/06/2019, 22:03 - Me: Tom is such a melt 🤣 How the boys reacted made it even better. I just wish Maura was like "Fuck it, I'm taking Anton instead"
