Dating in 2026

[u/MysteriousVixen29]

I just met him a few weeks ago and he gave me his number. I like slow burning connections because that way I get a better sense of who I'm getting involved with before I allow him to take me on a date. I don’t really know much about him, so I try to set up FaceTime calls at a convenient time for both of us, but he’s not giving me much to work with

Lmao what was OP supposed to say there? 

[u/PizzaSushiTacos → u/_SparkleTits_]

I agree like any question or something to keep the convo going

[u/smallbutbigpepe → u/_SparkleTits_]

How about go on the date? It’s a lot easier to see if you have chemistry in person.

[u/_SparkleTits_ → u/smallbutbigpepe]

I wouldn't want to date someone who texts like that. Look at his initial texts. It's objectifying and there's no substance there. Look at his response. It's dismissive.

[u/smallbutbigpepe → u/_SparkleTits_]

Same, but that’s not what OP was complaining about

[u/Hot-Sun-5333 → u/_SparkleTits_]

Look at her initial text as well they suck.

[u/_SparkleTits_ → u/Hot-Sun-5333]

Again, what was she supposed to say there? Lmaooo

[u/PizzaSushiTacos → u/_SparkleTits_]

She was suppose to say “omg low effort yes!”

[u/_SparkleTits_ → u/[deleted]]

Lmao 

[u/PizzaSushiTacos → u/[deleted]]

Same lol

[u/HOEDY → u/_SparkleTits_]

Literally anything. Anything at all. Want engagement? Engage.

I just engaged here more than OP did with someone they exchanged numbers with. It takes seconds.

[u/cyber_yoda → u/_SparkleTits_]

His response absolutely should be dismissive, what was that shit she sent him?

[u/MidnightGasControll → u/_SparkleTits_]

OP argues about not being “actively talked to”. They didn’t exactly put in any effort either. They are just waiting for it to happen. So I read it as both parties failing to actually communicate. You ask what they were supposed to say here? Literally anything.

[u/GeneralZex → u/_SparkleTits_]

Anything would have been a good start.
