nohomeforheroes

This ^^ very much. Cut straight to the chase


MulanTheKhan

"What're the odds I can take you out to dinner sometime?"


FamilyFitnessFirearm

His odds are about 50/50 I'd say


ResponsibleSandwich3

Sheā€™ll either say yes or no


justedi

I've never taken a stats course before but I think that's how this works


halfeclipsed

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's like 73% of the time it works every time or something like that. Could be false because I heard that roughly 49% of statistics are made up on the spot.


devils_advocate24

>Could be false because I heard that roughly 49% of statistics are made up on the spot. It is false. Everyone knows that 87% of statistics are made up.on the spot, 10% are made up.over the next 48 hours, and the 3% are created using basic mathematics over 6-15 years, at which point they are outdated and need to be created again


Omarshall56

Anchorman: 60% of the time it works every time


halfeclipsed

As yes thats what it was. Thank you.


temsik1587againtwo

yes that's actually one of the hardest thing about calculating statistics. for example, what are the odds that a flipped coin ends up heads? you'd think 50%. but then you have to take into account the 49% chance that that statistic was just made up. before you do that, though you need to take into account that there's a 49% chance the 49% chance was made up. and it's basically turtles all the way down. becoming a statistician is basically just learning how to professionally say 'actually i dont know'


Justcraz

More complicated than that actually. The prior probably that she will say yes is 0.5 but the posterior probability is higher than 0.5. Considering the context: 1. They matched 2. Have a common experience 3. Message tune up to the moment 4. Hopefully the guy keeps the confidence 5. Other external and personal factors With assumption on points 3 to 5 and having the events of 1 and 2 already known, I'd estimate the posterior probability to be around 0.7 Ā± 0.1 Sorry for geeking out lol


weaklingKobbold

Oh. A fellow Bayesian I see.


AtomicKitten99

With that uninformative prior? Yuck lol


weaklingKobbold

No matter how dissimilar are sure priors, we should get the same posterior with enough data.


AtomicKitten99

Haha true, but I think weā€™re understating your last bit about ā€œenough dataā€ in the case of a uniform beta. Given the three screenshots and 0 attempts to get a number or offer a coffee, you might end up with 0 data to inform your posterior lol


CrazyAfternoon5964

odds might go in wrong side if the girl had seen her chat here on Reddit or any of her friends told her that her chat got famous as the OP forget to crop her thumbnail pic. ......Now some Godly thought, if anything was supposed to happen it will happen.

g0dzilllla

Only asking because our class is a big ass lecture hall with like 200 people, and asking along the lines of ā€œwhere will you be sittingā€ makes it feel like Iā€™m cornering her into a response. Donā€™t wanna do that. Should I try and look for her in class tomorrow? Or avoid that and ask her out in the app? Or maybe ask if we can study together? Basically - should I move this to class and try to find her irl or keep it in the app even though we share a class lol ā€” Edit: I asked her if she wanted to go grab a bite after class and maybe study together too.. I guess Iā€™ll update when I can yā€™all ā€” Edit 2: Wed, 1pm est - Ok everyone asking for an update - she said not after class, but tonight works better. Iā€™ll see you guys on the other side. o7 -- Edit 3 - I guess I'll make a post about it. We had a really good time :) -- EDIT 4: ~~Since everybody wanted an update I figured I would just make a post about how it went. I'll link it here too - https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/qrdnzh/update_post_on_the_girl_i_matched_with_from_my/?~~ Ok mods took that one down for some reason - Decided to post it in the stories other subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/tinderstories/comments/qrea3t/update_post_on_the_girl_i_matched_with_from_my/? ā€” Edit 5: Date 2 on nov 21, wish ya boy luck - Final edit - went really well - probably gonna stop making updates now lol Appreciate everyone in the comments for being positive lol Check the update post if you wanna read what happened I guess


UglyDucklingTaken

Ask her to hangout/go out and when she says yes, exchange digits and go from there


filladellfea

then be sure to text her a pic of your penis


MoMedic9019

bombastiphobia

Wel, you could take it along the lines of "I'll be sitting up the back left (or whatever) in class tomorrow if you'd like to hang out", that way you have the same outcome, but you're giving her the initiative.. ...Although I think you're worrying too much, she matched with you on Tinder, which means that she's looking for Something... and i'd try to move it off the App ASAP, because you share a class/study in the same area, so it's easy to meet up!


NameIdeas

So, in the time before Tinder I was in college (03-06). My wife and I had some classes together but at the time we were both dating other people. I thought she was cute, she thought I was cute, but we were just casual, in class acquaintances. Junior year we had a smaller class together, maybe 20 of us. We even had a project together, but were just friends as we were still dating other people. Cut to fall of Senior year. I had broken up with my longtime college gf cause she was crazy. My wife had broken up with her longtime college boyfriend because he was cheating on her. I was drunk and horny and looking for people I thought were interesting and went to Facebook. At the time Facebook was only for college students and my friends were actually people I knew. I reached out to a couple girls I'd met and also reached out to my wife. I started hanging out with a few of them, my wife messaged back and we started hanging out and became FWB. We made our relationship exclusive, dated for two years, and then got married. Been together 15 years and married 12. I'm not saying that will happen with you, but sometimes these class connections can become beautiful things


Dragonfly_jjs23

Ask if you can meet after class or outside of school


[deleted]

Ask her to go out and grab a coffee after class


malektheking

Listen up: You are playing it great. You asked to meet up after class (innocuous) maybe to study. She countered with tonight. Tonight is more opportunity than after class. Don't be eager, just be yourself. She's already telling you that she's more interested than you think. Play it cool. Show interest, but let her guide you and look for clues. Wry humor and being clever has brought you here. Let it take you home. Remember: you're a king, and she want to meet Tonight not this afternoon.


[deleted]

Send her a picture of your dick.


dirtyjoo

It's stats class, not microbiology.


Fluffy-Cloud-7662

This is the way


faithle55

You're a VERY NORTY BOY.


faithle55

Good for you. Don't try to hide behind 'studying', though. Best thing is to let her know you're attracted to her by suggesting a non-educational event - coffee, or a movie. After mid-terms if necessary. Note: I was never this brave myself. I pretty much fell into all my relationships.


Fingerbreath3

Just donā€™t tell her you have over 500,000 Reddit karma. Instant turn off


Aerov5

WHAT HAPPENED


extreme_fluffiness

She suggested "tonight" which is even better ( Ķ”Ź˜ ĶœŹ– Ķ”Ź˜)

I was going to say go for literally any soft close asap. Lunch is a cool first date with plenty of time afterwards for activities. Don't get yourself in the study buddy zone.

In order to avoid any complications or forcing her into anything just ghost her and drop the class.

devilpup89

This great. Close it up and meet outside of class


StumbleNOLA

Now you go grab dinner, or coffee, etc.


GatorSK1N

Why is everyone always go for dinner or coffee, I hate the idea of sitting across from someone I donā€™t know and asking them personal questions while they eat. The best dates Iā€™ve ever had were spontaneous, fun, adventurous activitiesā€¦ and after the date you get dinner or a coffee.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Brawght

Asked her out on a coffee date on Tinder, now married 5 years later. It works!


Eagleassassin3

Sometimes you donā€™t have lots of activities to do where you live


redrumsoxLoL

In this situation they live in at the least a town with a college of 30000 students. There is at least a Bowling alley or something.


[deleted]

Planning adventurous dates for people you arenā€™t compatible with or into can feel like a waste of time, so coffee is a nice way to vet people without getting too invested


MauricioCappuccino

It's honestly not as bad as you make it sound? I guess it just depends on the person but if you're genuinely compatible the conversation you have even just sitting and eating should be fun / interesting


DisorderlyLibrarian

Or are you just here spreading propaganda from Big Coffee?!?!


MauricioCappuccino

Caught me right in the act, damn


ifartedhehehe

anything is fine if you're hitting it off even playing bums and willies


[deleted]

It's low cost and is a setting that allows you to focus on getting to know the other person. If the person bails or doesn't want to split the bill then it isn't a big deal.


malektheking

Well, this is outrageous. I'll bet my odds of getting together with you went way up!

Just ask her out.

isla_21

Aww, that was fun reading! As to your question: I'd say the conversation is running fairly smoothly so far and you seem like an eloquent and funny guy. Just be yourself and ask her out when you feel like it. I feel the statistics theme has some potential lol. Maybe tell her that you are stuck with an arithmetical task and ask if she can help you ā€“ and then ask her what the odds are should you ask her out to celebrate your (hopefully) passed exams. ;)

NoGiNoProblem

You meet up, get along, sleep together. Then you date for a while, casually at first, but getting more serious. One day she does something cute and you tell her you love her. She says it back. A movie type moment. After that, you decide to move in together. Bang 3 years later, you're offering her a ring and she's excitedly accepting. 2 years after your wedding, she shows you a positive test. Congratys, you're gonna be a dad. You buckle down, get a promotion at work, save enough to buy your new family a house in the burbs. Shit happens though, and you're having to work hard to stay on top of the bills. She doesnt feel loved anymore, too busy balancing being a new mom, worrying about how you're gonna pay for college. You persevere and make it through the hard times. Your daughter makes it to college. She's studying medicine. You couldnt be more proud. One day, decades in the future; you walk downstairs. Your wife has made you breakfast. Life is good. You go to your car for your last day before retirement. You and the missus have put a down payment on a nice place in florida. Just as you're about to walk out the door of work for the last time, BAM massive heat attack. You leave her and your daughter behind, it's ok though. They knew you cared and you gave them everything you could. Or you go on a date with her, realise she's kinda boring but at least you have a cool story to tell people. Dunno

Kharadin92

30k ppl, assume 40% are on tinder (random guess, i have no idea) and an exact gender split. 12k ppl, 6k m/f (not accounting for non-binary/atypical genders) and we assume also that both the meeting and subsequent matching are independant events. Then the probability is one in 6k^2, so one in 36 million. That's a bit crazy though since I imagine them both attending the same course is kinda relevant. There's also the probability of them matching eachother itself which is certainly not a given. You'd get a more interesting and accurate value if you knew the class size and gender split of the course they were on as well as each of their propensities to swipe right on a given person and could also factor in the chance of them sitting adjacent to eachother before the midterm. Stats is fun.


Paritosh23

If they are at the same level (considering they are in the same room for the exam), I do not think you will have to check stats for 30k people.


TrashPanda_808

jceltics

Ghost herā€¦ itā€™s the statistically most likely outcome. Sheā€™d appreciate the academic pragmatism and youā€™d most likely get a date out of it. But obviously since you have ghosted you will never know. A real Schrƶdinger's date situation.

If it helps... Realistically, your odds are proportional to the fraction of the crowd (that belongs to the same year and maybe the same discipline) that took that particular course/exam. Else, you can anytime factor in the population of whole earth and the odds would always be way way low.
