TIFU by recommending a song to someone on a dating app

Basically the title.

I (F22) was talking to someone (F19) I just matched with on a dating app today. We were just casually going back and forth, talking about the type of music we like, and swapping song recommendations. A pretty light and casual way to break the ice and get to know someone, right?

Well, the problem is that I, being a naive idiot that doesn’t think about how I word things, decided to recommend a song called “Youth” by Daughter. This in of itself wouldn’t be a problem (except for those who are cringing at my music taste), if it weren’t for how I worded it.

You see, I had just nonchalantly spit out “You might like Youth by Daughter” without giving it a second thought on how it sounded like a thinly veiled code phrase that a white van owner would use. I didn’t give it a second thought, that is, until my app completely froze…which was immediately upon hitting send.

I made the connection (doesn’t take Sherlock to realize that the app randomly died as soon as my last words were delivered), and after trying the equivalent of turning the app on and off, I realized it was definitely a “me” problem. So, I contacted the app’s support team, wherein I got an auto reply stating that my account has been automatically flagged for violating community rules and needs to be manually reviewed.

So yep, this dating app’s auto system thinks I’m a predator now for the song I recommended to someone, and now she’s gonna think I randomly ghosted her mid-conversation. Maybe this is karma for my taste in music, and the universe was just sparing her from being exposed to it.

(For the record, I’ve never received any complaints or warnings on this app before, so there’s no other explanation I can think of).

TL;DR: Recommended a song called “Youth” by Daughter, phrased it poorly, now my account has been automatically flagged because the app’s system thinks my message sounded predatory.

Update: It got fixed. And if anyone doesn’t believe me, I attached the auto reply in the comments.
