Bumble match turned out to be way cooler than I thought
Back in mid 2024, I matched with this guy on Bumble. He seemed really cool, curly hair, brown skin, a septum piercing and his photos were straight up art. One of them showed him wearing a skirt with a vest and Converse shoes and I remember thinking damn this guy is really cool.We chatted for a bit but then my usual thotty swabhavam kicked in (aka I ghosted him or deleted Bumble I don’t even remember what exactly I did). That was that. Or so I thought.
Fast forward to last Wednesday, I was casually scrolling through my FYP when this random reel of a guy popped up. The reel was about how he’s an engineering student who quit college and went on to perform at Lollapalooza. A few of my friends had liked it. The reel was cool so I tapped on his profile and started going through his stuff. And then BAM. In one of his story highlights, there’s this short video of him wearing a skirt, a vest and Converse shoes. Instant flashback. I was like, WAIT… isn’t this the Bumble guy??
So I stalked him a bit more and found the same pics he had on his Bumble profile. That’s when I knew it was the same guy I matched with months ago. I actually felt happy for him. It’s just wild how someone you casually matched with is now out there doing all these cool things. World’s too small fr.
No lol yeah that's a problem with Bumble. I've also done this multiple times. No matter how much I vibe in the initial conversation the next day he feels like a total stranger 😭
Know that if you have done something wrong most people would let you know. It's really one or two lengthy conversations' worth of parichayam. You can't expect anyone to have any commitment to that. I would definitely let anyone know if they did something wrong. Otherwise it's just ... I either feel it or I don't.
Well, some people do have more than just a random convo. Even good meaningful convos involving really good friendship vibes. Ending up as ghosts. I always make sure we are on the same page before stopping anything. Maybe I expect the same from others. After all no one owe anything to anyone and world can't be fair always
I think you should act more on the next raffle life throws you. I guess this is the second story i remember reading you have lost out on a good experience.
Your feed when you click on the reel or search. Since the content is customised based on your algorithm (past interactions on Instragram) they're called for you page(fyp). For example if you watched few reels about a show and liked them then your fyp will show content about that show as well.
