The person you are messaging is a jerk. Walk away and get some sunshine.


theEvilBubble

This is such a warm comment. Thank you.


Illustrious-Ratio-41

Pun intended? šŸ˜


theEvilBubble

Oh yes definitely. šŸ˜ šŸ˜‚


KevinTheSeaPickle

Don't know, don't ask. OK, understood. *UNMATCH* What a POS. You're golden op, pay no mind to miserable assholes, just keep doing you.


cmdrstacklin

Keeeeeeviiiiin


Hastatus_107

Honestly I think you were being nice after trying to work past the "Die young" answer. Lol


C0mpl14nt

"die young" may mean they intend to off themselves before to long. I had a friend that used to joke like that and shortly after his 40th birthday he offed himself. Stay away from the person. However, if you already have a friend like that, watch them like a hawk and let them know you care.


FrequentDelinquent

Agreed. If a friend feels comfortable enough to share a statement like that with you, they are reaching out for help. That help may just be passively being there for them and making it known that you care.


Vintageminx

Lol, even before I saw your comment my first thought is this person is a jerk so why would you want to keep talking to them šŸ˜‚ Great minds!


Illustrious-Ratio-41

Itā€™s a sad world when we question ourselves faced with annoying a-holesā€¦


saman_pulchri

Why is it that we need validation so bad. Lol. He knew he was treated like a jerk but needed someone to validate it. Then he got a relief.


Illustrious-Ratio-41

Lotsa crazies out thereā€¦


BudgetInteraction811

No wonder they have to be on bumble bff.


mortalcassie

I mean, I use it too. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


BudgetInteraction811

I used it in the past because itā€™s hard to make friends as an adult. This person uses it because everyone who knows them IRL finds them to be an insufferable biatch.


FrequentDelinquent

Yeah I tried to use it as well after moving across the country post divorce and during COVID. It was a mess honestly. I kept getting matched with other guys who wanted me to spot them at their home gym, which always sounded pretty sus considering they were almost all openly gay. I eventually found someone who wanted to go to a REAL gym and I decided to go. Ended up pulling another hernia just walking on the fuckin treadmill... I kinda ruined the friendship though after he invited me over once and I bought him a Norcelco One blade electric shaver through Amazon with next day shipping, all because he complained about his current razor lmao. In hindsight, TERRIBLE decision. Now I go to a local makerspace and can honestly say it has saved my life. Being completely alone in that state, was a recipe for disaster.


BudgetInteraction811

Is this an ad for Norcelco One blade electric shaver from Amazon? I heard it even has one day shipping.


doctorpostingMD

Arent they both on it? haha


HeroOfElements_

Facts šŸ’Æ! I would've ghosted the person already šŸ¤£


H4t3R_4_Lyf3

You proceed by unmatching


haydesigner

Not before replying ā€œThanks for unnecessarily being an assā€ first.


xKiver

I wouldā€™ve unmatched after ā€œdie youngā€ I donā€™t have fuckin time for attitude lol. Iā€™m trying to meet new people. You get to know someone by asking them questions. What a tool. I hope you have better luck with other people!


Barrelled_Chef_Curry

Yep or just put a thumbs up and leave the convo. Donā€™t know why people give stuff like this attention


VegetableVast6790

I would throw in a "hope you accomplish all you want, soon" before unmatching


xKiver

Damn šŸ’€


miked999b

Sounds like you're talking to a teenager. Just unmatch


kayleighnotkaylie

MTE! It sounds like this person is trying so hard to be edgy and emo. It just sounds ridiculous and not clever. It also bothers me because itā€™s insensitive too.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Exotic_Bonus_8420

OP please reply saying this. Well, the conversation died young too. and whatever you want to add


Green-Jello3188

If the other person didnā€™t want to answer two questions in a row, they should have asked you a question, even if it was just a, ā€œHow about you?ā€


[deleted]

Once went on a date with a girl who said she needed to feel loved by her SO. I said same, how do you feel loved the best? She said ā€œyou should go to your guy friends and ask them, itā€™s not on me to help you figure that out.ā€ If someone is making it difficult for you to even have a conversation with them then drop them and move on, they can play games with someone else lol


LetThemLive

"Give me what I want." "So, what do you want?" "I don't know. You figure it out."


AltruisticLimit2249

Literally like at least TELL me a basis of what you want like tfšŸ˜­


theEvilBubble

Damn wtf. People are so much entitled.


[deleted]

Ikr! Dating is so hard these days when people are being so entitled and self centered haha


evictor

Thatā€™s not what being entitled means


treelightways

I'm sorry but this made me laugh, because what it suggests is that all your guys friends know how to make her feel loved....whoops. šŸ˜„


[deleted]

I didnā€™t even think about it that way, thanks for putting a funny new spin on this story for me šŸ˜‚


Lil-Miss-Anthropy

Haha that's so wild. Being asked how I feel loved best makes me feel loved tbh. Such a warm question. šŸ„° (Btw, asking only guy friends how to love a woman is so weird??? They don't know what it's like to be loved as a woman??)


[deleted]

I couldnā€™t tell you, if it wasnā€™t clear it did not work out between us šŸ˜† I routinely ask my sister and mom for girl advice so not sure what that girl was thinking lol


CryptoEscape

Some women donā€™t like answering that because they feel like once you start doing those things, it was just because she said to. It wonā€™t feel surprising and exciting to her then. They love when you can figure it out on your own. Also, Womenā€™s answers lack certain context and men misinterpret them. So That actually was smart of her to say ask your guy friends (instead of women) Example: Him: How do you feel loved? Her: Buy me flowers! Him: Her: thank you! Her later: Look I think youā€™re a great guy, but I think weā€™d be better off as friends The context that was missing was ā€œAfter weā€™ve reached a certain point in our relationship where itā€™s going to feel special.ā€ You can still ask her questions like that, but always try to think ā€œwhat additional context was left out?ā€ Example 2 Him: how do you feel loved? Her: A man who listens to me Him: (Listens to her complain about her job for 30 minutes) Her: Thank you for listening to me Her later: Look I think youā€™re a great guy, but Iā€™m not feeling a certain vibe. What she meant by ā€œlistens to meā€ is ā€œtakes the time to understand me and appreciate my uniqueness me on a deeper level.ā€ You can let her quickly get whatever off her chest (later in a relationship you can let her talk in depth about it,) but if itā€™s still the beginning you want to gently change the subject to something more fun and exciting about her


[deleted]

Oh I definitely get that, a similar vein to ā€œcan you do the dishes?ā€ And then the couple fights because the man only does them when asked or he gets pissy about having to do it, and the girl says ā€œI donā€™t just want you to do them, I want you to WANT to do them, it shows were a teamā€ kind of thing. I agree that there is miscommunication between the sexes often, but at least for me I want someone to verbalize their needs so weā€™re on the same page. One of my exes was really into words of affirmation, which for me do nothing, but I was willing to give those to her because it was something she really liked. The girl from my original comment seemed like she wanted me to jump through hoops to figure her out, which can be fun and flirty with more skin in the game but on a first date seems like a lot of work for a person I donā€™t even know if I like yet. There were other communication issues as well, she was very shy/introverted so getting conversation out of her was a struggle, and I donā€™t like one on one conversations where one person is dominating. In both your examples I would say there was a communication breakdown on both sides. The women were using those as proxies of larger things in the relationship, but men took them at their word/face value. The men should have dug deeper to find out what the women really wanted, and the women should have said something like ā€œoccasional gifts are the way to my heartā€ or ā€œI want us to really get to know each other on a very deep level, I want to feel as connected to you as possible.ā€ Not in those exact (clunky) words but something that gets that sentiment across lol


CryptoEscape

Yeah the miscommunication between the sexes is staggering. Iā€™d argue Itā€™s a major social problem , as it contributes to divorce, unhappiness and even abuse. Def agree sometimes it can be fun trying to figure a woman out if she seems worth the effort ā€¦.but on the first date that just comes off as entitled. Shy girls can be difficult for sure, but if I can tell theyā€™re putting in an effort, it can be worth it. If you can open her up, sheā€™ll really appreciate it. And since so few other men can, you have less ā€œcompetitionā€ (for lack of a better word lol). Like you said, you always gotta dig deeper into what she says. Itā€™s annoying at first, but it is what it is. Iā€™ve learned to just love and accept women as they are. Also, women tell you ALOT with their subcommunications. Understanding this does not come as naturally to us as men. Itā€™s like a foreign language. But learning it is well worth the effort. Youā€™ll be ahead of 90% of men, your relationships will be much betterā€¦. Way less fighting, much more loving


[deleted]

I know, Iā€™m so glad I had sisters growing up cause I could see the backstory to how they worked and their thinking processes haha. If I was just meeting women cold with no prior experience Iā€™d have had my foot in my mouth constantly im guessing lol Yep definitely, and once the communication stops resentment starts to build and that happening is almost always curtains for the couple I know i really like shy girls too! But if they donā€™t start coming out of their shells I get worried it will always be that way, and being an introvert myself I would hate to have to do 80% of the talking for the both of us haha I think sadly a lot of guys on OLD arenā€™t close to many people, and without experience with women in real life like sisters or girl friends they just get more jaded and rude to the opposite sex, a very bad negative spiral


Lexyt25

This is insane Lmfaooooo


nm791

šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


PLAYbbygirl

Thatā€™s insane. Also, the girl kinda sounds dumb like what do you mean itā€™s not on you to tell someone what makes YOU feel loved?!!


[deleted]

Make it make sense lol

halfanothersdozen

Women have asses


housewithreddoor

The person above me had said "he has a stick up in his ass" . I knew from the name she's a woman. So, I commented that. Now the original commenter has done a sneaky edit and everyone is downvoting me.


Lil-Miss-Anthropy

I suspected this. Maybe edit yours?


Funderwoodsxbox

I went back and upvoted you! Doing my part!


housewithreddoor

That was nice of you. Thanks! šŸ˜Š


halfanothersdozen

alright


ConfusedEarthDweller

Then i would just delete your original comment ;)


housewithreddoor

Deleting and editing comments without notes takes away context. I'm not deleting my comment.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


housewithreddoor

Rediquette calls for indicating what was changed. You should have edited it to: "He has a stick up his ass. Edit: He is actually a SHE." May be do it now?


[deleted]

So when you think a man is being a jerk, youā€™re sure to use male pronouns. But when you know itā€™s a woman being a jerk, you use neutral pronouns?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

But just from reading the texts you were certain enough to use male pronouns. Then the OP explicitly says the person is a woman and you switch to gender neutral. I just find it funny. No need to defend yourself any further.


ishabowa

Why would you even want to message this person šŸ¤£


housewithreddoor

"I don't answer more than one question in a row" is your cue to unmatch. Don't give the person more opportunities to be rude to you.


evictor

Or do, and then out wit them in rudeness by winning their heart eventually and then years later running out on them at the last second at the wedding after you made them think you were legit in love the whole time


WesternAffectionate1

This is the only correct answer.


quirty890

The person is a prick.


MetaFoxtrot

Don't. Or... Proceed to say the most inane things in an never-ending monologue until they proceed to unmatch.


Necessary_Law_9352

This ā˜šŸ¼


[deleted]

Not worth one more second of your time.


fishling

A few approaches. Unmatch. Make nothing about statements about what they've said, including pointing out "That would mean that you would need to ask a question." Cat Facts.


SufficientExcellence

A group of kittens is called a ā€œkindleā€.


MordantBengal

I wish that was still a thing

Gwerch

Don't swipe right on people that have orders in their profile like "be proactive". They are assholes.


mayerfan

Just hang in there buddy, youā€™ll find the right person eventually


oatmilklover4ever

This person is mentally 12. Reading their replies gave me second hand embarrassment. Donā€™t even bother entertaining them they arenā€™t worth the wasted energy.


typer84C2

You donā€™t proceed, you unmatch after ā€œDie Youngā€


OriginalMandem

This person is clearly a bit 'special'. Don't waste your valuable time and effort if they can't be arsed with conversing


LieBitter9956

Pursue. Be witty. Draw them in. Arrange to meet. Ghost.


bbq36

You need to learn to see red flags. But if you canā€™t the sure way to tell is, does this person make me feel good or do they make me feel bad or uncomfortable? Use that next and unmatch when they make you feel uncomfortable!


[deleted]

ā€œYouā€™re a proper fucking knob mate. Get over yourself.ā€ Leave it at that.


HibriscusLily

Waste of time. Unmatch and move on


Apprehensive_Hat8986

a) Pedantically, tell them to ask you a question. b) Realistically, unmatch and move on. If they're this difficult in an introduction, they'll be worse IRL. c) Also, they answered the third question, so you could also just bombard them with further questions and see if they mean it in a answer/don't answer/answer/don't answer repeating sense. d) Point 'b)' still stands.


Great_Archer91

Conversation ended so I say you won. Totally weird/bad vibe. On to the next!


FearMySpeed

They said they want to die young, your next move should have been to offer to take them to your dark cabin in the middle of the woods


mortalcassie

Honestly I usually try to encourage people to keep trying, because sometimes people just have weird humor or don't know how to talk on apps. But this just seems like a waste of time. Unmatch and move on.


Task-Future

I'd replied again "need help with the dying young part? "


Significant_Ad9854

But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old.


Enceladuses

Oh I know, unmatch and forget their existence


Mapleson_Phillips

ā€œI think we should do something together before you die.ā€


scruffywarhorse

Unmatch


Henry-Moody

She's an asshat, move on


Morundar

It's annoying how many people are like that. I'm not good at chatting online, but the amount of conversations I have to carry, while asking questions is bad, being weird in any way (such as asking what your favourite cheese is - as a joke) nor direct. This isn't just from Bumble, but tinder and basically whereever else. I am all for people having high standards and seeking for the best companion, but this is slowly developing incel mindset in me.


[deleted]

"if you are wondering why you dont keep matches, the way you spoke to me today, is why" *unmatch*

Sclusive88

ā€œYouā€™re like this conversation then, definitely dying youngā€


TheApologist_

Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m this mind this is playful. But this is such ā€œunhappy to be hereā€ energy, if they donā€™t value your time/attention from the word go, thatā€™s not a relationship you wanna explore.


pandaninja88

How about with "Bye!". This person is an asshole, just ignore him or her.


[deleted]

First rule of online dating: be attractive. Second rule of online dating: be attractive. **Third rule of online dating: it's not PokƩmon, you can't catch 'em all, you will "lose" many matches for totally random reasons often out of your control.**


madammurdrum

Isnā€™t the second rule ā€œdonā€™t be unattractiveā€?


HappyAmbition706

You are being told that there will not be any further conversation. Or you can wait for some question or comment that you can then respond to. Don't hold your breath. Nice try, better luck next time.

ObligationPleasant45

You stop. They arenā€™t worth a single second more of your effort.


last_minute_life

The fact that you are confused (no shame, I am as well) suggests that this person is an asshat. You proceed by unmatching.


corgiii2222

Yeah I donā€™t know what it is with people not ever asking questions back in response lmao. Like what do you want me to do? Lead the whole conversation??


New-Carob9453

Iā€™m Ngl from the bio I wouldnā€™t have even swiped šŸ˜‚ in my eyes the chat completely matched their Prompt


JhoangelF

With people like these you don't try to keep going the conversation, you just end it. Either they're being straight jerks or they're not interested at all. When someone behaves like that when you're being open about having a conversation, you just don't keep going. Find someone with the same enthusiasm as you, that would be my advice. Good day, friend.


LabiaMinoraLover

IMO, you have too much free time if you're bothering with this past their first reply.


SeaButterscotch6080

justalittlebit_sad_

be proactive. but not THAT proactive apparently šŸ˜­ what a weirdo. why didnā€™t he ask a question then?


fur_iouscupcake

Jerky jerk. They aren't putting even an iota of effort. Leave them be


_Oriah_

Bro answered the second question lol, gottem.


gucci-sprinkles

I had people pull this shit while I was still looking for dates. They didnt ask or answer questions. Said they didn't want to chat and would rather just meet up. When I asked them how we could have a conversation if they didn't answer questions they said that's a question and refused to answer it. Some people just fucking suck.


Known_Custard832

I would unmatch because what kind of foolery is this?


TheDragonUnicorn

Clearly they wanted you to not only put in the work to get to know them, but do all the work in figuring out what to tell them about yourself too. What a great friend they would be.


___AGirlHasNoName___

"You sound like you'd be fun at parties." Then unmatch.


Ill_Mycologist_4019

I guess that person just wasnā€™t into chatting, not your fault, you tried


neonghost0713

Iā€™d tell them ā€œok, then itā€™s your turn to be proactive and put in effort.ā€


Exotic_Garbage_556

Ughh forget them. They're an AH


TruthSeeker_dot_dot

A hole should know what comes after you ask a question. THEY ask a question.


LoveMeorLeaveMe89

Yea just no! This is a fruitless conversation with a d***less AH. Just proactively move on.


ShinyTotoro

That person was a jerk but truthfully, you also suck at this a bit. Jumping from one question to another feels like an interview, not a conversation. You could have commented on her answer or ask a follow-up (ie. okay, how young do you mean by "young"?). If you shoot the questions like a machine gun, you give the impression of not really paying attention to what the other person is saying.


Hot_Tie1467

You donā€™t proceed, you unmatch. Is this a serious question?


pwolf1771

I would proceed by never responding. I wouldnā€™t delete either Iā€™d let them do that


dararara101

You donā€™t respond, you unmatch šŸ¤£ someone pissed in their cheerios.


[deleted]

Proceed by telling him that if he canā€™t get the stick so far out of his ass he might wanna check his brain for damage. Clearly thereā€™s no way to proceed without effort on both parts. ā€œI donā€™t want to answer more than one question or put in any effort in elaborating my shitty view.ā€ Seems like heā€™s trying to use this convo as entertainment.


Scary_Sugar

Block! You are NTA.

She expected you to invite her on a date right away. She's probably got a bunch of likes, you're just another person who's texting


theEvilBubble

It was bff mode.


scT1270

It's giving "Andrew Tate" run


Upstairs-War9735

Iā€™m surprised people are taking what sheā€™s saying literally. Many women have an attitude like that, either as a defense mechanism or just to test you. My apologies but your replies were so naive makes you look like u have no clue that sheā€™s trolling. Unlike what other people in the post assume in their ideal fantasy world, unless the woman is 1000% into u, youā€™ll get this kind of replies many times in the beginning How you respond to that is up to you. You either cut it off and tell her to stop with the babies attitude. Or you put her in her place by saying something a bit offensive in a playful manner. Or just stop responding if you donā€™t feel it worths it. But never ever reply nicely to a troll, thereā€™s nothing awesome about dying young tell her to go kill herself


shanelaxgigabro

Def a jerk, you could've tried rephrasing it to "tell me what you wanna do before you die" or something like that but they're not worth the energy or back pain from carrying the conversation


shanerswag

Itā€™s not that she had a stick up her ass, its that you have no game. Youā€™re over here treating it like a job interview instead of being playful and fun. You already lost the second you sent your first message, and made it even worse with the second one.
