Burner account but I swear I'm a real person here. Hopefully I don't thoroughly dox myself but I'm in my thirties and have, for the first time, been forced to use the dating apps. I hate them. However, I (a cis guy) matched with a vegan, communist (based on profile) woman around my age and now I'm banging my head against a wall trying to think of like how to start a convo? I'm so old and stupid, irl I'm not really that worried about meeting people but this is messing with me.

Edit: to clarify, I am also a vegan communist

    I tried the cursed landscape of both OKcupid AND Tinder in its early days. Neither were good.

    Eventually I got set up on a blind date and that was it. Speak to your family and friends guys, for real. Online dating apps are trash.

        "It'll happen for you" "You have to love yourself first" "It will happen when you're not looking" "Be yourself :)"

          TBF to them it's more "We also don't know anybody that's available/interested", so like. It's not quite so patronizing.
