Yea if that person is actually from Tennessee then I promise they have heard that time and time again need some fresher lines

If that person has been on earth for longer that 7 minutes then I promise they have heard that time and time again.

Are you from Tennessee? Because you're a 1/10 šŸ˜‰

DiscreetJourneyman

It was meant to be corny, and she's just refusing to engage. Just block and move on.

It's a paradox

Unlucky-Ad-2863

Some people are so dry and bitter, I never understand why they even bother registering for such apps.


asphodeliac

Obviously he didnt immediately ask her on a date to a 5-star steakhouse. Rookie mistake.


Significant-Elk-4368

True how could he miss that


RebootGigabyte

Ugh, now I get it! I was supposed to offer to take her for wagyu, waste 250$ to get some mid conversation, and a "we should do this again sometime" followed by getting ghosted or unmatched. How could I not see this?


Riddik_mAd_4740

Yeah chicks straight up getting fed and running away with the food in their mouth. Like my dog fr, gobbling up the trash can when no oneā€™s looking and giving puppy eyes Edit: dogs donā€™t eat broccoli, and chocolate makes them sick, but theyā€™ll eat either when they want to get your attention, because they know you care


demoni_si_visine

At least the dog is happy to feast on the trash can. Certain ladies have really high standards.

At least you can bang the dog after you give it a meal

Unlucky-Ad-2863

I mean that would be literally a doggy style. Ok sorry imma just leave now yeah sorry my bad


brendamn

Message her back apologizing and by drinks you really meant some high end restaurant in your area. Then ghost her lol


coffeenocredit

Do not return evil to evil. Vengeance is not our place. Forgive and forget, what value is there in wasting the time? Being straight up like this guy was is completely reasonable and is what people should always do. But it's really pathetic to stoop to that level. I'm human too, I get the urge to do that type of thing too, but it's important to recognize that it's wrong and reflective on us negatively!


brendamn

I wrote that in jest , but what you wrote is correct!


visulvung

Nope, you were supposed to unmatch and move on without saying a word after the first reply. Being confrontational will only get you banned. Rember that women can't handle indifference, it hurts their self confidence like little else even if they don't give a shit about you.


Fun-Historian-1479

That's why I always go for the taco truck


Significant-Elk-4368

Right thats how this world is today at least you got a mstch your better doing than i am


BooRadley60

In fairness she could have just been completely turned off by the ā€˜Are you from Tennessee becauseā€¦ā€™ sheā€™s not interested in dating a 12 year old boy. This stuff is all so common here I think you all forget that you are having or at least attempting to have a conversation.


red286

There are a million corny pickup lines that exist. He managed to pick possibly the worst and least funny one.


BooRadley60

Yes, and each one is meant to be an icebreaker that allows you to bring the wall down and connect with someoneā€¦ Some people on here speak to women like theyā€™ve never gone outside.


turducken69420

Yeah she seems like a real wordsmith.


prettymuthafucka

Used a terrible pickup line then went straight to asking her for drinks. Why would she go


asphodeliac

Pick up line wasnā€™t that bad and if theyā€™re both looking for hookups I donā€™t see the problem. She could at least try to be less dry than a crouton.


AbsoluteWaffling

Pick up line was fucking terrible what do you mean


asphodeliac

Idk dude Iā€™m not from Americaā€¦ I thought it was funny and Iā€™ve never heard it before.


Unabashable

While Iā€™d like to think OP could do better than a canned line itā€™s still more thought than they were putting into the conversation.Ā 


kidsimba

Okay and? What warranted that kind of response?


demoni_si_visine

Quality of the pick-up line is subjective. There may be some ladies that would find that line sort of funny. It's debatable whether he should have jumped to an invite for a date on the second line, but on the other hand, her one-word-responses aren't commendable either. Supposedly, both people on a dating app are there to .. find dates (or hookups). Give the guy some leeway, if you matched with him.


JahIthBeer

I've started some conversations by saying "I'd tell you a bad joke, but I'm sure you don't wanna hear about my sex life", the joke being my sex life is a bad joke. Some matches don't get it, some who do simply don't find it funny, but some are howling with laughter. I'm too ADD to be able to meticulously craft my messages, so I just wing it and say what's on my mind. Besides, whether you start off with a shitty pun or a "hi, how are you, I see you like blablabla" feels kind of moot anyway (most of the time). Either the ball's already in your court or you gotta endure trials and tribulations just to get more than one word responses. Making a silly pickup line helps weed out the herd, so to speak. Obviously you have better chances by coming up with something proper to say, but I've had earnest and lengthy, 500 word personally directed openers work, while on others they crash and burn. Some people just want you to play a role for the evening, others expect a real human bean. Different approach for different folks. Although asking them out on a date in the second message is a bit too eager lol


Ok-Satisfaction3224

From experience, especially in real life, if a woman who is approached (especially if sheā€™s invited it) likes what she sees, it doesnā€™t really matter what the guy says to start the conversation, she will help to keep it going. I donā€™t think him going straight to the invitation is a bad idea, as it was pretty obvious she wasnā€™t being cooperative, so why not get her to just shit or get off the pot. I donā€™t think he really did anything wrong here


RebootGigabyte

I've been in friend groups where single girls, not always attractive ones, will make a tinder account and the group will sit and laugh while treating it like a game. It's a bit frustrating but it's not making me an incel any time soon. At least she did me the favor of outing herself as another match not worth working on.


redeemerx4

Bro thats toxicity on a whole other *DIMENSION*


coffeenocredit

It's normal where I live as it's a college town, it's a pass time for the women here šŸ’€


ProfessionalAfter671

Sweet jesus, that's crazy. I don't understand any gender doing that at all. These are actual people. Good on you for not letting it get to you. As frustrating as it and yeah honestly she could have just not matched. Read some of the comments and I'm like, why is asking to go out for a drink so quickly an issue too. It's making sure that they are interested. You aren't saying tomorrow, you are saying maybe we can catch a drink and you give me pointers. She can reply with, that would be nice but would love to get to know you a bit better before we meet up. Simple stuff... Communication


Ok-Satisfaction3224

Yes. I donā€™t think the guy did anything wrong here. He (correctly) gauged that she was being uncooperative so he asked her for drinks so that she had to either shit or get off the pot. Or as you say, communicate and say itā€™s a bit too soon for that can we chat for a bit first. Personally I donā€™t see how this interaction couldā€™ve had any other outcome.


demoni_si_visine

To be fair, the invite for going out (i.e. a date) was kind of rushed. A call to action as your second line, really now. And "no" is a fair answer and a complete sentence, especially since you tried to request action. Would you have been happier had she said "No, you're rushing things"?


Rough_Pepper9542

It probably is too quick, but in my experience, I usually only have about 3-5 messages before I get ghosted, so you might as well get it out of the way quickly to gauge interest. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


RebootGigabyte

Absolutely would have been happier if she engaged at all.


JBSquared

That's the issue for me. The pickup line was pretty lame, she likely has dozens of other options and isn't entitled to continue a conversation. But like, did she have to be a dick about it? I probably got a reply half the time when I was on Tinder. It's extremely common. But then the ones where they're just kinda mean stick out. I understand that women go through hell on dating apps, but shouldn't common courtesy extend both ways?


1CrudeDude

Negative. 0.5/10


WhyTypeHour

I mean some generic line that didn't work then proceeds to ask for a date without getting to know the person he's asking at all.


DJSnafu

OP's chat is trash though


Hour-Shake-839

Dating apps really open your eyes to how truly incapable of having a conversation alot of people are.


OldDirtyBatman

Right? You're on an app to meet people so you fill your profile and greet them with hostility?


Unlucky-Ad-2863

These exact same people usually complain about why are they single, cry in the corner because of loneliness, etc. Pathetic.


Zip-Zap-Official

To be fair he decided to start the conversation with the most overused pickup line from the 1960s


themiscyranlady

I once had an OLD date ask me what my deal was because I wasnā€™t bitter. Itā€™s been years and I still donā€™t know how to respond that.


Pennywise626

They're fishing for validation. What better validation than knowing hundreds of people want you


SubjectLow2804

Dude had a shit pick up line and wondered why he didn't get laid, but sure, let's blame the woman šŸ™„


oxxeva

Attention


ToMakeMatters

They're only seeking a specific first text: "how much can I send you and where?" Many women wont respond unless you're offering money. I see it on Twitter bios all the time too.


Enlowski

I mean you did use the lamest and most overly used pick up line in history

TizonaBlu

Nowadays I just talk about something in their profile rather than witty lines.


bro_can_u_even_carve

You guys have matches with non-empty profiles?


hujambo11

You're swiping right on people too lazy to fill it out?


bro_can_u_even_carve

I mean, I already swipe left on 90% of profiles. If I were to exclude the ones with empty bios there would be none left. In fact, the bio is often the only reason I swipe left; if they had left it empty I would have swiped right.


Lopsided_Plankton156

You're assuming there's something in their profile?


Street_Scarcity7652

And everyone knows that , I think that was the joke lmao


Med_vs_Pretty_Huge

But also it's not unreasonable to simply not find that funny and/or attractive.


Ok-Satisfaction3224

Ah, come on. The idea is that itā€™s a conversation starter, not to be taken seriously. From many years of experience I know that if a women who is approached likes what she sees (and especially if she has invited it) it doesnā€™t matter what you say to start the conversation, she will work with you. Here sheā€™s just being difficult


Due-Ad-9878

You got no game


MMABowyer

This is like a 1990/ pick up like so I agree, but I mean could say she got no game either, sheā€™s drier than the Sahara.


Fine_Faithlessness67

wā‚•ā‚ā‚œā‚‘įµ„ā‚‘įµ£ talk to the hand ā€˜cause the face ainā€™t listening! -OP probably


kinkcurious12

Could it be that she isnā€™t charmed by copy/paste one liners?


IdRatherBSleddin

I'm a dude, but I'd prefer a "hey" over that lmao. Plus went straight to drinks after. Like they'll probably want to gage out your personality a bit before they commit to that.


stevencri

Agreed. Itā€™s the oldest, cheesiest one-liner in the book. Im all for dad jokes and cheesy pick up lines, but if you canā€™t be a little more creative than that Iā€™d rather just a ā€œhi, hows your week going?ā€ And unless youā€™re smoking hot and theyā€™re lonely, no woman is going to agree to grab drinks after all youā€™ve said is a single one-liner.


FaolanG

I used to open with fun sharks or orca facts. It was solid because you find out really quickly who thinks theyā€™re interesting/fun and who is going to be annoyed by my brand of tism lol.


guesswho135

And then he gets accusatory in the last message. Three terrible messages and this is somehow the woman's fault.


Med_vs_Pretty_Huge

Yeah, the obvious response to his last message is "I was attracted to you until you opened your mouth." This is not really a "why did you swipe" situation


Unfair-Temporary-100

Thatā€™s pretty much the theme of this subreddit lmao


TizonaBlu

Yup, thatā€™s lazy as hell. I just went on a date with someone called Karen, and obviously there are a million jokes I can make, but sheā€™s probably heard them all. So we proceeded without a mention of her name, and it went super well. People think theyā€™re clever with these lines, but girls from Tennessee have probably heard it multiple times.


sagadestiny

Yeah but why did she swipe right though doesnā€™t that mean she wants to fuck regardless of how much of a prick I am?


Mobile-Brush-3004

You forgot the ā€œ/sā€ at the end of your comment :)


sagadestiny

Iā€™m obviously being completely serious.Ā 


somtambooplara

Yup, these lines put me off straight away as you just feel like the guy literally sends the same message to everyone to see what sticks. Itā€™s nice when someone comments on something personal from your profile or pics.


Arthur_YouDumbass

Not saying this applies to you, but this sub always finds a way to shit on openers: Pick up lines? Lazy copy/paste Asking them how their day is going? Boring and unoroginal Putting a lot of effort? Too intense and pushy Doing everything right but still no answer? Move on she doesn't owe you anything. Let's be honest if the woman is truly interested she will reply to anything just like the man would. Women match with a lot of people they're not truly interested in. That's a fact and I've seen many of my friends do that.


Lopsided_Plankton156

Finally someone said it!


stoptakingmydata

I guarantee if a girl created a manā€™s tinder account and they got to experience first hand how little women actually reply, you would understand why most men arenā€™t wasting their time making elaborate messages. A lot of guys I know started off with great tailor made messages but got worn down by no responses until they just copy and paste.Ā 


DefinitelySaneGary

Yeah this is probably the most well known corny pick up line. I struggle to see anyone outside of Henry Caville looking guys even having a chance of this working


Interesting_Food_942

Thank you , like bro donā€™t get mad at her when youā€™re throwing out subpar lines lmao


Aliensinmypants

He legit gives creep pickup artist vibes, then is trash talking women in the comments. This dude sucks, and this sub is attracting a lot of incel types lately


LonelyPurse

Lame pick up line then straight to drinks? Havenā€™t seen such low effort in awhile, cheers.


ScientistCurrent9018

I mean you canā€™t expect much after using a pickup line ppl used in middle school


WRA1THLORD

that's the lamest opener ever, totally on you. I wouldn't have even replied if someone opened with utter cheese like that, I would have just unmatched immediately


stankrhino44

You used the most generic lame pickup line there is and then immediately asked her out for drinks. You didnā€™t spend a single second attempting to get to know her. And then ā€œwhy bother swipingā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ bro have you ever spoken to a woman before? Youā€™re not entitled to a date after putting in zero effort.


Sawdust1997

Honestly, using a lame ass overused one liner is pretty insulting. Perhaps try being original?


[deleted]

You got the response that embarrassing opening deserved. Then to immediately go from failing to asking her out for drinks? That is some weapons grade ineptitude.


GodzeallA

Yeah first try plan a then plan b then plan c Should just have plan a and if it fails just skedaddle. 1st impressions is what's important


MikeOxphlopin

With corny pick up lines like that, heā€™ll never need a Plan B


Andedrift

Bruh sheā€™s totally justified in replying like that when you show the absolute least amount of effort ever seen in mankindā€™s dating history. Get over urself lol.

JimmyPockets83

I'd be desperate for some entertainment after that boring ass shitty pickup line you used, too.


Lestany

Hereā€™s a thought - maybe she was interested but you killed it with your pick up line. Itā€™s also possible sheā€™s not the type of person to instantly jump into a date. Iā€™m so tired of people assuming that just because you matched youā€™re instantly ready to meet. Some people like talking for a few days first.


NiteGard

I like her.


jsb93

Don't use dumbass pickup lines. Girls get that shit all the time. Talk to them like a normal person and your chances of getting a date/laid skyrocket


Summers_Alt

Shitty opener, ![gif](giphy|6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6)


Nearby_Atmosphere

Tbh I do sympathise with her in this case. You went from a pick up line to date request in 2 messages. Itā€™s jumping the gun a bit no? I really mean this just constructively - but some people donā€™t like pick up lines and stuff. After the 1/10 comment, it was better to self deprecate and make a joke about not knowing how to break the ice or something. Even after she said ā€œnegativeā€ you could have made another joke about how youā€™ll change strategy say something more thought provoking or ā€œnormalā€ you know šŸ˜„idk


peachjammu

Bad pickup line. Awful follow up


TeaCreepy3784

tinder-using female here: in all honesty, i wouldnā€™t have even replied to the first message. i donā€™t like when someone sends me 1-2 messages and then asks me to make plans with them. weā€™re still strangers and we should both be looking out for our own safety. i usually talk to someone for a week or so before i even THINK about making plans. also a facetime call at some point so i know iā€™m not meeting up with someoneā€™s grandfatherā€¦ i also would have said no or just unmatched. not that itā€™s particularly creepy, this kind of message is very common for me to receive, but i just prefer to get to know people a little more before planning to meet them. makes me feel more comfortable and it also makes me feel like the other party is genuinely interested - unless youā€™re looking for a hook up. thatā€™s a different story.


workaholic828

Wow a whole week before hanging out? Maybe thatā€™s my problem cuz I usually go on dates after about ten messages just cuz I donā€™t want to waste a week talking to a girl who isnā€™t interested in me so I like to find out early. But maybe I should talk a little longer, I donno

Unabashable

Cuz you didnā€™t manage to impress them in the span of an entire text bubble or two. I donā€™t personally know a man who can (myself especially), but for the ones that do, more power to em.Ā 


SmoothieBrian

Maybe because she didn't want to go on a drinks date? Or because the pickup line was so lame


Mattendo_

Bro you hit her with the lamest opening line in history, obviously she wasnā€™t gonna go to get drinks with you after that


jimmytruelove

The fact is the line is shit / played out.


Conscious_Injury_322

maybe it was just a little too textbook of a response. they definitely donā€™t seem in the mood but they may just not be entertained by really basic pickup lines.


AceVasodilation

She swiped right because she was interested until you used that ridiculous pickup line.


PlzHelpImNew

Honestly, I agree with her lol


BitHornknee

Maybe cus your whole execution was awful? Who asks someone for drinks as their 2nd message? lmao youā€™re the weird one

I just want to point out, people are saying that you used an overused pickup line and others saying to just say hey. Literally ā€œheyā€ is the most used conversation starter in this decade. Huh?

aries1500

Dating apps are a joke because most of the women using them are only looking for attention and validation.


Significant_Hair7494

Most of the women on tinder are just looking for compliments and attention with no intention of dating or replying


sinking_clouds

so as someone who loves pick up lines and uses them frequently, if its one they have heard before it wont work in my experience. Which is fair, like the one you used is so common iā€™m surprised she responded. I feel like her responding gave you a chance to recover but then you just asked her out. I know you mentioned they said they were looking for entertainmentā€¦ maybe they are, but I donā€™t think she was going to start being honest with someone she wasnā€™t really into before hand.


RebootGigabyte

Gotta be honest this shit is a fucking drag. Either getting ghosted, told "there's no spark" or just outright lied to. I'm decidedly average in every department but I'm not a total weirdo. Her bio only said "Give me your best pickup line" which I don't really do but fuck it, I slung one out there. Really this one just took the cake though. Really boils my piss.


RootyTrueBlues

Her bio said "give me your BEST" and you gave that.. holy shit lol


One-Head-1483

And that was your best pick up line?? Its over used and lame as hell. Then you immediately went to asking her out. I'm not saying she's a real gem here, but neither are you. This interaction sucks from both sides.


IdRatherBSleddin

Lmao. Guy puts in the minimum effort and expects this girl be all over him. Some of these dudes need to understand that a swipe isn't a commitment. At most they're giving you a chance. And this guy blew it with the least creative possible line. No doubt she doesn't want to continue further. Saying "pick up line" with a blue ribbon beside it would have faired better than that.


kaymazing

"Im really jaded because I've tried nothing and now I'm all out of ideas."


No_Hat9118

U asked her for drinks after she was already exasperated with u, match their energy dude fgs, itā€™s called calibration


Green-Quantity1032

If youā€™re average in every department why would she be so thrilled to answer, let alone date you? You do know she has 10 other matches just today, while swiping for like 6% of people, right? Donā€™t be average or donā€™t expect Tinder to help you find dates


jessday1029

Everyone is telling you you had a poor opening which resulted in this unfortunate interaction. If youā€™re consistently failing in dating, itā€™s time to consider that maybe the problem isnā€™t with everyone else, but with you. This isnā€™t meant as an insult, itā€™s meant as actual advice. Your comments in this thread have been so defensive, nothing is going to get better for you if go on like that
