Should I bump her on LinkedIn 😬

I know, I know! Sounds creepy af, but here’s the backstory.

Last year November, I was into some dating apps and came across someone who caught my attention.

What was special about her was the bio/profile. Her bio was like my own female version had written it. It was structured almost like I’ve had my bio structured. Who she was, what was she looking for, i.e to say , seemed very clear about life.

So I sent her a superlike, because she seemed so much like me that a simple like did not seemed justified. I also dropped a note saying that our writing styles are similar and you seem to be the perfect match, let me know in case you might be interested.

I waited for a week, no reply! Then I noticed that she has viewed my profile on the dating app but she did not liked me back, so I waited for 2 more weeks but I did not see any like! I took this as a rejection and went ahead with the depressing “left” swipes (boy!! its hard to come across a serious profile). Then I uninstalled the app (I forgot to delete my account though)

I went back to that dating app in Jan (dating apps can get quite addictive tbh) and to my surprise, she had like back my profile in December but also her profile was deleted 😟, it was January now, almost a month since she liked me, not sure when she deleted her account). It was sad but I kind of forgot about her and all the dating stuff, just seemed futile to be on dating apps. One random day, it dawned upon me to look her up on linked (some corner of the mind said she might have deleted the profile because she didn’t find anyone better than me, sounds a bit narcissist 😂)

So I went to linkedin and there she was, I did not even had to search the second time, just one search and there she was. I quickly closed the profile realising she might see that I viewed her profile or maybe she might see my orgs name, I felt quite uneasy after doing this.

Now that I think about it, I might have tanked the chance to get a decent girl by deleting my profile, maybe we would have talked and it could have picked up and the thought crosses to just send her a hi and see if she responds on linkedin (bcz she’s not on that dating app and I’m not on any social media accept Whatsapp, GV and linkedIn).

But there is this factor of coming out as a creep or that she might have found someone else in which case it might be very awkward for me, or she simply might have reconsidered me for a thumbs down in which case I might come out as a cheap stalking creepy perv..

Would like to know what you guys think of this situation, should I pursue her or just leave it and move ahead ?

I noticed that we got connected over app name at different times when one of us weren't active, however a notification popped up about you viewing my profile in the line of actions. To not treat this as a random or regular connection, I wanted to let you know that our thought process appeared to be merely similar from the bio of yours i saw on app name. I wanted to know more and exchange some learnings, insert her name

It'll take time. She doesn't seem to be an active social media user.

Don’t send dm on LinkedIn. What if she takes a screenshot of your message and posts in Linkdln ? Try on Insta or Facebook

Valid point bhai.

I'm not connected to her so I'll just send a hi along with the connection request. We'll see If she accepts or not.

How good is this written?

"Don't judge anyone by years of experience. Judge them by their skills."

Okay, but recruiters will judge them by gender as well. Aur aapne to dono bhi (i don't consider LGTV) mention kiye hai.

And what is this new trend of ~gaslighting?

Starting conversation with tinder profiles on Linkedin

Just wandering how things may turn out on starting conversation on LinkedIn after getting their profile from Tinder/Bumble, as supply-demand is pretty skewed on this sites not sure if profile is visible to possible matches. PS:- Grapevi...

Hinge has the weirdest fkin people

Matched with a female VC, got this long ass message from her -

"Hey,

This is a copy pasted templatized message 😛

Owing to the awfully high number of requests I receive on Hinge(and I'm told most females do- I'm not all that special),...
