What to text girls on dating apps to land dates?

[Anonymous]

So I've been using dating apps for about a year and I seem to be having a hard time landing dates. In that time my experience hasn't been going well. I keep getting ghosted left and right to the point that I literally just feel like giving up. It's not that I'm ugly or anything, I'm quite attractive but my texting definitely needs work. I would like some advice on what I can text girls I match with on dating apps to land dates. Also what would be good places to go on first dates? Thanks

I quit trying. The only thing that I found that worked for me was www.meetup.com One can search on hobbies and interests. In fact, from the conservative club meets over two years I got clients. It is the single friends of the people you meet... this is where you get dates from. Consistency is required.
