It’s like every guy, I have a shred of interest in- literally ghost me after a couple days of texting. Literally had one guy ghost me in the middle of making plans, I am done with dating apps and thinking I’m going to actually find anyone. Honestly feeling like I’m not good enough 😔.

Its not you! Please please dont take it on yourself. I have been there. I dated a lot, been ghosted a lot, have cried a lot, and have had my heart broken.. a lot. In the end, I *finally* got blessed with an amazing, caring, loving gentleman! Be yourself and do good, what others do - speaks about themself. It’s a tiring process (took me years of dating and a broken engagment to find my “one”) but you WILL get there. Sending you positive light and love!

A lot of us have this experience and a lot of us feel this way. This is largely my experience too and I am an objectively attractive person with everything going for me (people say). You need to take a break from dating when you feel like this. It’s a “numbers game” as people say and it is emotionally exhausting isn’t it? Sometimes I wonder literally how do people get into relationships? I haven’t had anything close in years! It’s just the likelihood of meeting someone where both people feel chemistry, like each other, and are compatible, and **are both in the right place for a commitment. I mean, that’s a lot of factors to be in place right? Focus on what is in your control and what isn’t in your control. Let go of some of this, which is out of your control. It’s heavy and you don’t need to carry it all. ❤️ Don’t know if that helps.

It is not your fault OP. As painful as it maybe, I would advise patience. One of these days you will run into the right gentleman.

Best of luck and lots of love ❤️. Don’t be harsh on yourself.

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?
