So I'm M24, never had a girlfriend and tried to seriously find one this year, like I was always on the apps but never really had any luck, until this year
Matched with a lot more people and ended up getting 5 first dates with 5 different girls, now 1 of those girls I ended up ghosting cause I wasn't feeling her, that's bad and I know it, 1 of the girls ended up ghosting me, so retaliation by the universe
And here is where it gets interesting
The 3rd girl we ended up going on two dates but she realized she wouldn't have the space in her life for a relationship, ended up wanting a friendship I accepted but still ended up getting ghosted, really liked her two
The 4th girl, we hit it of really well ended up going on 3 dates, I asked her on the third date if she liked me she said no I'm not looking for a relationship and just want to stay friends, I almost cried in her face, but I understood, and now we are chill so far no ghosting
The 5th girl, went on a first date like 2 hours ago, she texted me she wasn't feeling it, and still wanted to be friends, but I said I was looking for a romantic partner instead, we said our goodbyes and good lucks
So so far I've learned I'm safe enough for a friendship, but I haven't had anyone be romantically or physically attached to me, which kinda sucks
But honestly this was my first real life dating experience and not going to lie to you it was incredibly exhausting and emotionally taxing, didn't even get one kiss out of any of these interactions, didn't push for it either, so please give me your input
