You were qualifing too much in the last text saying how ur fun, take control and are not like other submissive boys. It came across like ur trying really hard to be this "alpha dominant guy"
When saying to a girl "gimme ur # if u want. if not no worries" you do come across non-needy which is good but 8 or 9/10 times she will just move on since she feels like ur not willing to chase her +she has a ton of other options anyway
Its likely dead but in 2-3 weeks try "hey i just did xyz thing and it reminded me of you.. hows your week going". She said she wants to get to know you more so just have a normal but still fun & flirty convo w her

When a girl says something like that, I just playfully tease her instead of giving her validation "Wait who are you again😉" or "Like a desert misses the sand"
But tbh you still did nothing wrong, looks like she just wanted a bit of attention yea it happens

"So you're a mind reader huh😏" then change the topic with asking either how her weekend is going or the details line (pets, tattoos crazy ex-s/good kisser)

Just send her the ryan gosling " hey girl happy xyz-day" meme. After she responds ask how 2023 has been so far and then ask for her schedule so u can go on a 2nd date

Agreed. 1st pic is the best here, other two both have bad lighting with only half of his face lightened
Glasses look a bit too big for his face tbh

Agree with Eric but this isnt even that bad, just continue the convo with both. Lila you already soft-closed and she said maybe despite the fact she doesent know u at all yet. Just keep the convo going and her "maybe" will turn into a "yes" soon. Girls have tons of options so 99% of the time you will have to text with them for a little while before closing I mean you cant send only 4 messeges and expect they will be just like "YES LETS GO OUT!"

Yea this happens sometime when ur dealing with random tinder girls. Just double text "dont be shy" or even just "when are u free so that i can make you forget ur ex?"

Very odd Ive never heard of this but am not surprised as tinder is probably the glitchiest dating app out there (its a small miracle that it got so popular despite all these glitches)

I can tell u that ur almost for sure not shadowbanned if this is 1st time in years that u used tinder. Maybe just delete it and make a new account (its ok to reset your account like this once or twice but if you do it multible times in a short period of time then u will get shadowbanned)

Ayy dont forget this one haha its your best one, id put it as your main
Not a fan of graduation one, graduation pics are overdone anyways. What u really need is more activity pics like playing a sport, riding a motorbike, cooking, a badass pic in a suit, playing/cuddling with a dog, playing a guitar etc. Gtg now as im heading out, hope this helped. And happy new year to u too man, good luck
