They are using tried and true addictive gambling techniques to keep you scrolling, and paying just for the hope of finding love. Happy Valentine's Day!Oh, by...
My experience: got some matches, got one date that canceled on me and said she was going to try dating closer (fine, sad but at least she was polite enough to give me closure), zoom date with one girl that just sorta fizzled out, got talked up by another girl who was all “ooh it’s your birthday next week let me put it in my calendar let’s meet on monday” and then ghosted me, took a break for a minute after that, was chatting with another girl who suddenly ghosted me, got a date with another girl who stood me up the first time and then arranged to meet for drinks later on and ditched me after an hour and ghosted me after saying “I don’t ghost people” to reassure me after she broke contact for a bit, got texted out of the blue by the previous girl who ghosted me saying she felt bad and wanted to try again, we chatted for like a day and she ghosted me again.
I don’t really have any way to meet people. I have very few friends and zero romantic prospects. I’m so lonely I think about death on a regular basis, because I can’t really stand this much longer. I’m so alone in every way that’s important.
I’m sorry to hear that. I feel pretty similar to you, isolated because I’m not a particularly social person to begin with and once I started working remote I’ve just become a hermit, the social “muscle” has just gotten more and more atrophied. Sometimes it feels funny to be both a leftist and what I’m sure is an extremely typical example of an American “male” who never talks about his feelings and has no close emotional relationships.
It’s been years since I used dating apps/websites and they were already aggressively depressing, I cannot imagine how awful they are now
