Thats why Ive stopped sending messages first and just either wait for chicks to message me, or see a chick who viewed my page. Or just do swiping. Most bad chicks will like your page before they would send a message, indicating for you to say hi.
And I message them if they're cute, if they didn't send the message and viewed my page. I already know I have their attention.
That doesn't work on POF or OKcupid...most women do not use the search functionality
Bumble...They have to message guys first
Tinder...Is cool
