Female šŸ , Iā€™m sure this has been asked 1000 times, but why are ladies so reluctant to start conversations on Bumble? Iā€™m very very new to online dating, and havenā€™t had trouble getting matches, but so far only about 10% of my matches have resulted in a conversation. What am I doing wrong/missing here?

When I use to use bumble the number of matches I got as a woman was overwhelming. I would match them thinking I will come up with a witty opener later instead of just a hi, but get distracted by work and life. Inevitably my matches expired before I could message. Sometimes life just gets in the way rather than reluctance.

Let the match lapse, then request to extend. When I used bumble I'd usually prioritize the guys that extended after connection lapsed, I saw it as an indicator of stronger interest rather than smth casual

Donā€™t take it personally at all. This is truly just women forgetting or sometimes yes, they might not mean to swipe you. But seriously just make sure your pictures actually look like you, and your profile doesnā€™t have pictures with huge groups in it so that nobody knows who u are in the picture (that was always the worst.) and just be honest on your profile. That way you get to automatically vet anyone who doesnā€™t like you for you!

Men: What does this mean? Been seeing him for a month. Asked if he is still seeking out other women. He said no and that he has been enjoying my company. I told him I donā€™t plan on seeing anyone else and he said the same. He brought up that he wants a serious relationship with me but feels he canā€™t right now because of a demanding new job. I told him I donā€™t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.

Iā€™ve always been aware of a y guyā€™s ā€œmanhoodā€ and donā€™t emasculate men. I am adamant about financial boundaries; I was taught that men shouldnā€™t be asking me for money as a lady and I followed this advice. However, in the instance that a partner might have a financial challenge and you sense that because he doesnā€™t really tell you, is it ok to offer a helping hand without him asking or should you let him communicate his needs and you respond how u can. Thx
