    Which works great until the other person responds with 2-5 words max every time you ask a question (dating apps)

      A good solution here is to ask open ended questions instead of ones with a yes or no etc answer and to talk about their interests.

            At least in my age range most of the profiles are pretty generic, asking about stuff in them usually results in bare minimum generic responses or no response at all

              Wow, that’s pretty dire. I have tried dating apps and didn’t really ever find much luck in them and started looking in places where dating isn’t the goal instead like hobbies or common community spaces and slowly building relationships that way.

      Yeah trying to have a conversation on a dating app is like pissing into the wind

      Edit: interesting username, is that a reference to the old flash player gnash?

        No it’s something I came up with when I was 10 and it stuck. Not really a reference to anything
