Conversations with total strangers on an app is liberalism. Ask them out in the first like/message.
"Hey, (person name) I really dig your profile, would you like to take a walk in the park or grab a cup of tea sometime?"
It's that easy. No conversations, ever. Like another comrade said, masc presenting/dudes never ask women out. So you will be a refreshing change of pace. You can't tell if you like someone via text anyway. You'll find out within 15 minutes in person. (In my opinion)
Ask out everyone you're interested in at a slow pace. Line up three dates for the weekend. Expect two to cancel.
I have asked questions to this group and found a very helpful community.
