As someone who has been on the sending the awful messages (as in what were you thinking, not too forwards) side, I would like to postulate that having (and starting) conversations on a dating app is very different than in person. I can usually start in person conversations and keep them going for much longer than on a dating app (some go better than others, but on the whole I do better in person).

It's much harder to keep a conversation in a dating app when you know you're 1 of 50 men sending that girl messages, and knowing that many of those other 49 men are more attractive than you are, so you're practically losing your time.
