Quick tip for anyone who is trying out online dating sites

Don't start your conversation with a compliment. Or a simple "hi", "sup", "what are you doing". Or asking the other for pics/their snapchat/etc.

You'd think people would be better at making people interested in talking to them than that

Or call them babe, dear, honey, etc.

@chrisCA Ugh yeah, that's the worst!! I instantly delete messages that are just "hi sweetie", "hey babe", etc.
I feel like they're doing it like "wow I'm so suave and I obviously have an interest in you" thing but it just feels so damn condescending 🙄

@NorthernRoses sounds presumptuous to me..I don't want a stranger calling me baby..I'm not your baby, dickbag.
