Why do guys match with women on Tinder and never send a message, even without a timeclock? Probably lots of variables at play. None of them worth our precious times exploring. I was told by a guy to just message people on Tinder and it has been working for me. The guys I have messaged have really appreciated my "directness" and see it as a "breath of fresh air." I also carry the conversation in a direct manner and sometimes ask questions like, "we've been talking for a week. Is there anything holding you back from setting up a date?" after which I usually get a "oh god no, yes, let's set up a date!" I rarely use Bumble because I think it allows men to be unhelpfully picky, passive, and rude in the dating process.
