If I matched with someone on Tinder that lived too far away, then I'd keep it online and try to get to know them over video calls. We could play games like Jackbox or talk about our hobbies - if they're into biking, cooking and being naughty, we should be able to find something fun!

If I matched w/ someone on Tinder & they live too far for a meet up, I'd probably just ghost them tbh. It's not worth it to get invested if we can't even hang out at some point. Life's too short 2 wait 4 people who aren't right in front of u so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I matched w/ someone on Tinder but they lived too far away, I'd try to find stuff we had in common & career interests (tech, web dev, etc.) We could chat about cartoons & games--even if it's not the same platform. It'd be cool to make a friend with similar hobbies even at distance!

If I matched with someone on Tinder but lived too far away, sadly I would have to move on. Long distance is hard enough without adding dating into the mix.

If I matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away to realistically meet up, then I would keep communication open as a potential friend. It could be nice to virtually connect and get to know one another even if we can't meet in person!

If you matched with someone on Tinder who lived too far away to realistically meet up, I'd suggest getting to know them over video chat or phone call first. That way, if the connection is there and it feels worth exploring further, you two could potentially plan a trip to visit each other in person one day down the road. It's also possible that your match could become an enjoyable online friend instead of a potential romantic partner—either way, don't rule out conversations with somebody just because they're not local!

If you matched with someone on Tinder who lives too far away to meet up, don't fret! You can still nurture the connection by getting creative and finding different ways to get to know each other. Send photos of what's going on in your life and ask questions about their day-to-day experiences. Share stories from your past or things you've learned along the way that might help them out. Or just have some lighthearted fun - after all, laughter is good medicine! Either way, remember: distance doesn't have to stop meaningful connections; it only needs a little bit more effort (and wit!).

I wouldn't bother. They're too far away, so it's not worth the effort.

If I matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away for us to meet, I'd just try and chat with them online. Maybe if we connected then somehow it could work out in the future? Or maybe even now we can FaceTime or something so it's like kinda meeting up & showing off how cool I am lol jk!

If I matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away to meet up, then I'd say something funny like: "Guess that means we will just have to be pen pals until the teleportation tech comes out!" and share a laugh. Bottom line, distance should not stop us from having fun - so why don't we explore different methods of communication and get creative?

If I matched with someone on Tinder who was too far away, Id probs just ghost 'em. Ain't got time for that sh*t. Girls these days waste enough of my time as it is!

If you matched with someone on Tinder, but they lived too far away to realistically meet up with, have an engaging conversation and build a connection first. Ask interesting questions about the other person’s life; where they've been/are travelling to, what hobbies do they enjoy or any recipes for good food that is specific to their area. If it seems mutually beneficial, suggest staying in touch over various digital platforms like text messages or video calls periodically so both parties can get familiar and comfortable getting closer through creative dialogue and activities until such time when you are ready to take the plunge of meeting them face-to-face.

If I matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away to realistically meet up, my approach would be to offer support in any way possible. By asking questions and offering advice that could help them or point them towards resources in their area, I'd strive to provide value while also being mindful of our geographic distance. Along the way, I'd happily share personal stories and anecdotes from my own experiences so as to brighten their day or give a different perspective on things - after all connecting with others is what life is about!

If I matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away to realistically meet up, I'd just move on and keep swiping. It's not like real life, so there's no need to be clingy or waste time getting attached! Plus since I'm a fat nerd who plays games all day anyway, it doesn't matter much where the other person is located 😁

If they lived too far away to realistically meet up with, I'd be done. Long distance relationships are way too much of a carbon footprint and Earth can't afford all that wasted energy. Plus, it's probably just another dude trying his luck anyway 🙄

I'd just tell 'em, "Tough luck! Looks like you'll have to make do with my wit and charm from afar!"

If I matched with someone on Tinder who lived too far away to realistically meet up, then I'd prob just chat online and see if we connected. We could play games together like Roblox or Minecraft, watch TV series together over Skype/FaceTime or do other activities that wouldn't require us to physically be in the same place.

If I matched with someone on Tinder and they lived too far away, I would probably just have to ghost 'em :/ It's a bummer because distance is such a tricky obstacle, especially since falling in luv can't really happen over FaceTime. Oh well, back to swiping!

If you matched with someone on Tinder who lived too far away to realistically meet up with, I'd suggest that you get to know each other better first. Figure out what kind of interests and hobbies they have and see if the two of you can connect in other meaningful ways – whether it's through online games or virtual hangouts. After getting a better sense for their personality, then decide if the extra effort is worth possibly taking a long-distance relationship further!

If I matched with someone on Tinder who lived too far away, I'd politely decline and thank them for their interest. That's just not something that would work with my current life situation - being a 28 year old housewife/stay at home mom of two kids, owner of a house and happily married to boot! Besides, it wouldn't be fair to either one of us if we invested in a relationship without the ability to meet up in person eventually. Plus, there's no way I'd want to give up hangin' out w/my friends or sippin' on cocktails ;) #KeepItReal

If I matched with someone on Tinder who lived too far away, I'd remind myself that you can't miss something you never had. Realistically speaking, distance doesn't make it possible to meet up in person and build a meaningful relationship so better luck next time!

I'd say that it's a real shame, and that although distance can be overwhelming, things like video chat can help bridge the gap. You never know what kind of connections or bonds you could form with someone until you try. If nothing else works out then I would suggest continuing to explore other dating options locally - life is all about living without limits!

If i matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away, I'd likely engage in an online relationship and use the distance to help focus our conversations on topics such as healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes that could positively impact one another.

I'd laugh and call them stupid for not doing their research before swiping.

If I matched with someone on Tinder but they lived too far away to realistically meet up, then there's not much we can do other than chat online or through video calls and get to know each other that way. Making friends from afar is still a valuable connection!
