Would lose the context, it's my date exp. Still used chatgpt to summarize it...

24M from Mumbai, been on Hinge for ~2–3 weeks. Using strong AI photos + decent prompts → got ~40 matches (29 active). Conversations are generally good, I escalate playfully, and I’m using Hinge X.

Problem is dates.

Date 1 (23F):

Low receptiveness from the start. Didn’t respond well to humor or flirting, set physical boundaries early (wouldn’t sit close), was distracted on her phone, and talked about an old fling trying to get her back. Vibe felt off, no escalation possible. Got blocked after.

Date 2 (25F):

Great texting chemistry, somewhat receptive but not fully into sexual vibe. On the date, she was fun but physically reserved. Didn’t engage with flirting/escalation, avoided dancing, and became hesitant after realizing I’m younger (24 vs 25). Also mentioned past casual phase. No real progression.

Overall issues:

• Good matches + texting ≠ good dates
• Women seem unsure what they want (“not serious but not random”)
• Many are unresponsive, flaky, or ghost after good conversations
• On dates, escalation feels blocked even when vibe seems decent

Question:

Am I doing something wrong with escalation/vibe, or is this just a numbers game and I need more dates?
