Can women on the apps please weigh in/explain this one? This has happened so many times I’ve lost count.

Match with a woman on a dating app. She either ignores messages right off the bat or ghosts after we’ve chatted for a bit. This sort of flakiness is common enough and I’m used to it. But then we match again on another app, weeks or months later.

Why match again when you already flaked out? You’re just making it weird for me now.

Why do you like them or rematch with them if they already flaked? Just ignore.

A lot of times I feel like people don’t remember you matched or don’t remember why they lost interest and want to give it another go.

Guys are equally of guilty of this behavior FYI

Yea, sometimes I forget why I decided not to go out with someone and sometimes they improve things about their account after I was on the fence that reflects better social skills or emotional intelligence or gives me more information.

Bots / Fake accounts. Unfortunately there’s so many of them out there. Just brush it off

Lots of men do this too. It's a combo of forgetting or too many matches, not that focused on the apps.

I’m a female who lives with my SO. We’ve been dating for years and we fight a lot so it’s possible a breakup is near. Do you think it would be difficult to date while living with my ex as roommates in a 2br/2ba? We have a lease that’s not even halfway done. In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
