I’m a 28-year-old guy who was pretty shy and introverted up until recently. I had almost no experience with women. I never approached anyone, flirted, or made a move.
Then, in August, I downloaded Tinder and Hinge, uploaded some good photos, and suddenly, the matches started pouring in. After some initial struggles with texting, I figured things out. On average, I get a woman’s number after just a few messages and set up a date. Apparently, I’ve always been what people would call a "Chad"; I just didn't realize it.
Texting goes great. I’m confident and playful, and there’s usually sexual tension. However, something seems off when it comes to the actual dates. Since August, I've been on 15 first dates with 15 different women, and not a single one has led to a second meeting.
At first, I thought it might be my looks. On the first date, I casually ask if I look like my photos. They always smile and say yes. So it doesn't seem to be that. The feedback I get is usually things like: "The vibe wasn't right," "No spark," "I'm not interested," or the classic "Let's just be friends."
Maybe I’m not creating enough tension or excitement in person. Perhaps I come across as too nice. Honestly, I’m not sure.
