Vent & Rant Accidentally hit on my boss on Hinge

I was frustrated with not getting matches on Hinge, so I started mindlessly liking profiles without paying much attention. I ended up sending a message before my brain even registered the name and photo—only to realize afterward that it was my boss, who’s 29. The message I had sent? “You look amazing in that dress, though I suspect it wasn’t made to stay on for long when you meet me.”

If you're hiring, please DM.

Update 1-
Sorry couldn't reply to the comments

She was 'active' at the moment. Deleting Hinge didnt cross my mind at the moment, but I don't think it would have helped. Also, I have a lot of matches there.

She did match with me (didn't reply) and I apologized on the app itself - again nothing extremely formal. No reply there again.

Update 2 - when I saw her at the ffice passing by, she just smirked at me. I was pretty calm afterwards. I met her and explained the situation. She said that's the most creative line she had received on Hinge. And so I took the chance and asked her "coffee this evening?" she agreed and the night ended with us making out.

The em dashes.

I genuinely hate the fact that I cannot use em dashes anymore because of the presumption that only AI-generated content has em dashes.

Dude AI has to get its quirks from somewhere. People genuinely used to use em dashes fairly regularly. It’s not gonna work itself out of someone’s writing style just because AI also uses that convention fairly regularly
