Have you ever matched with someone on Web Series Archivesa dating app like Tinder, only to have no clue what to do after that?

You're not alone.

Joe Bagel has been there too, and his refusal to use pick up lines left him with only one creative option -- name poems.

In a somewhat self-promotional post on Medium, the writer cheekily describes his Tinder journey to implementing his name poem strategy and shares the golden screenshots of the experiment's results.

Once he matches with someone, he spends anywhere from five to 20 minutes creating the perfect name poem, according to Daily Mail.

He takes each letter of a possible boo's name as the first letter of a word. Strung all together they make an acrostic poem, colloquially called a name poem.

It takes a bit of effort to make a poem with nothing too personal but also the right amount of gusto to garner enough attention worthy of a response.

At a certain point, Bagel even broke acrostic poem norms to deliver sentences in the unique form. He says he's had a lot of responses but that doesn't necessarily mean much when it comes to getting cuffed.

"In the grand scheme of things though, having a 'high response rate' is a pointless vanity metric. As long as the rightpeople answer you, who cares?," he wrote. "This is just a creative way to make sure those right people don’t pass you by."

If you're for some reason unable to create your own acrostic poems (the quest for love is hard enough), Bagel is selling his services for a fee. Because love has its costs, right?
