So, yesterday, I rejected someone on a dating app. We had matched. I didn't quite like the vibe. I said I didn't think anything would happen between us. I also told them that there is nothing they should have done differently.

They thanked me, and wished me good luck. Then they left the chat.

Okay, no drama.

My statement that there is nothing they should have done differently is absolutely true. Maybe we'll discover that we are no match, but the last thing I need is someone who is dissimulating stuff to become my partner.

In the middle of the night, I wake up and pick up my phone... and I noticed that they liked me again. It is possible to do this on this dating platform.

WTF do they want?

Do they want to score points now? Berate me? Beg?

It could be something as mild as to offer friendship.

But I don't know, and do not want to know. I passed.

#onlinedating funny stuff:
"I don't respond to likes with out a message."
Well I don't send likes to otherwise empty profile with a few pictures of your pets, a random beach and a bunch of friends where I have no idea who's the owner of this profile. We'll just pass like two ships in the night 🤷
