I (30F) have time and time again been proven that a lot of guys in the modern dating scene are the same. Just to make it clear I love good men (who doesn’t?!) but what is up with so many guys thinking ghosting is ok or respectful? I’ve been catching up with this guy I knew years ago for the last month. It seemed somewhat promising. I tried going with the flow but then all of a sudden- he just doesn’t respond. And I also noticed he isn’t interacting on my Instagram anymore either (which he was doing). It seems like anytime I try to change things up and go “slower” or “faster” or date someone who is different from my “type” or continuously put myself out there, the same thing always happens. I don’t even know what I want to accomplish with this post- I guess just venting? But I truly don’t get it. I think (in the most down the earth way) that I’ve got a lot going for myself- a good career, caring, fun, kind, attractive, etc. I just don’t get why I haven’t found that person that values me yet. Any other women feel the same?
Editing to add- this guy seemed like a genuinely nice guy and a good fit on paper / a unicorn in terms of how much we have in common. That’s why it’s even more disappointing. I’m always getting my hopes up for nothing to come to fruition. I try not to take it as a personal hit but I do.
