Still not over my ex. This isn’t just a men issue.
But they ghosted you before the first interaction? Would not put so much investment in the talking stage. I’ve been ghosted by someone after 2 dates, never slept together and that’s a them thing.
“Still not over my ex” is the equivalent of he/she is just not into you
100% tough love

From all the examples you gave, it's not like you are full-on into something that has potential, and these guys are ghosting you in the middle of it. You hadn't met any of these men, and they are letting you know beforehand, some before the first date. There is nothing wrong with that.
If anything, it's a good thing they are letting you know before you get yourself into something you can't easily back out of. Based on all that, this post is a bit dramatic.
That's not always the case. Sometimes you think you are over someone, you put yourself out there, and the moment you start talking to someone else, all those feelings start rushing back in and you realize you're not completely over them.
Feelings aren't something you can just switch on and off. There is nothing wrong with some going through this at an early stage of talking to someone new. The key is they need to take their time, process those unresolved feelings, and make sure they are ready to get back out there before actually getting back out there.

Breakups are difficult for everyone, and the way people handle them can vary a great deal. Some may move on quickly by seeking a new relationship, while others take time to process the experience before opening themselves up again. Friends often suggest dating as a way to move forward, but it’s not always the right path for everyone. The important thing to remember is that there are many sincere and kind people out there. A thoughtful way to approach new connections is to ask how long someone has been single, as it can provide insight into where they are emotionally and whether they’re ready for something meaningful.

I wonder how many of these assumptions are just based on chats with random anonymous people on Fishbowl.
I'm available, my ex is living her best life with a small harem of men and women, and I'm ok with that. I support her happiness if that's what she wants. I just want one woman who cares about me and my well being, and doesn't mind me playing D&D every couple of weeks.
Who hurt you this time?
Silver lining > they came to this realization quickly before you invested more time and can now dedicate time to a new prospect instead of wasting your time on someone who isn’t meant to be in your hemisphere.
where are you located? Do union blue collar people do it for you? haha
No.
Ugh I’m asking the same question. Last guy talked for 2 weeks up until the day we were supposed to meet again and he disappeared 👻 👻 so I have no idea what’s wrong with people these days 😂
Inexcusable and I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you, C1.
Welcome to your 50s ! ... and best believe it does NOT get any better.
Apps are quick and lazy. I recommend looking at some methods that have barriers the filter out the time wasters. In person, more expensive methods can help do this.
Unfortunately, dating sites have become the equivalent of used car lots. Photos are touched up, histories and options aren’t all that accurate, and if you’re a genuine, honest person who’s uncomfortable asking the hard questions up front, you’ll probably end up with a shiny turd.
