One of the biggest mistakes guys make on Tinder is dragging out the conversation until it's drawn out and boring. Rather than force the conversation on Tinder, know when it's time to take things to text and keep the conversation going there.


Not only will this move save the conversation between you and your match, but it'll let them know you're interested in taking things to real life. This is a great idea if you're serious about sending longer messages and scoring yourself a potential date with your match.
