Two weeks ago, I had a date with a girl I met through a dating app. She was really nice, we had a great conversation and she told in person at the bar she would love to see me again.
Well fast forward a week, I keep texting her to set something up, but she’s not responding. I think she’s ghosted me. I mean, that’s fine, but if you don’t want to date me anymore, then just let me know. I will respect your decision.
Dating is so frustrating sometimes… It’s really fucking hard and I sometimes feel lonely because of my lack of success. I have a good job and I’m a nice guy… but eh… I digress.
Dating sucks. For every nice person you meet and make a connection of some sort with there’s three or four who drop off the face of the planet. I get it’s easier to just ghost but it’s pretty shitty. (And this is speaking as someone with social anxiety who has definitely ghosted before lol oops)
I think this is also key to remember - there are a million reasons why people might end up ghosting, and half of them don’t really have to do with the person being ghosted at all. Sometimes keeping up with conversations just becomes overwhelming for some people.
It’s always important to look for ways to improve as a person, but it’s equally important to not interpret everything as a personal failure. Sometimes things just don’t work out. :)
