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
"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.
