So Im 30F and have been single for like 6 years. By choice. I think I am fairly attractive and had plenty of chances to date if I wanted to, but I've always just kind of had issues with men. But turning 30 this year, I've been trying to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone and do things I normally wouldn't do. So I challenged myself to go on a few dates. I went on dates with two guys, one of the guys I ended up seeing three times. Third time he came over to my place and we watched a movie. He was nice, and I felt comfortable with him, so we even kissed and things got frisky, which I was ok with, since I was comfortable with him. He was super into me, but after we got "intimate" (we didnt have sex but we did other things) he seemed to do a complete 360. He left on a weird note, didn't kiss me goodbye or anything and hasn't texted me since.
Before he was super touchy, and pretty flirty, but after there was just none of that. Threw me off big time since this is the first guy I've done anything with in forever.
I thought we had a nice time. I was so confused and thrown off. Then I looked at his profile (we met on a dating app) and see that he is looking for "short term". So now I realize this guy is just looking for hookups or whatever. I feel like an idiot. That wasn't the vibe I got from the first few meetings with him. I completely get it's my fault for not noticing that, or communicating with him more. Lesson learned.
Feel like I just bellyflopped back into the dating pool.
