Dating again

r/

Sorry if this is a repeated topic that has been brought up.

32F. After a bad breakup 3 years ago, I started trying out dating apps 5 months ago. During this time, I was “rejected” by 2 people I had more than 3 dates with. Most of the people I met for a first date eventually slow faded and ghosted me. Conversations I’ve had on the app or even those that progressed to a chatting platform eventually ended with a fade as well. And I have tried to keep conversations going.

This has been making me question what I am doing wrong and has really affected my self worth. I know the actions of others is not a reflection of me, but when the cycle keeps repeating itself, it gets difficult to look past it.

All I am asking for is someone to give knowing me a chance. Perhaps I need a break from the apps, but I am just hoping to finally meet the right person.

Any advice on how I can keep pushing forward despite these setbacks?

    There is a sub reddit that will critique your profile for you.

    It’s possible that you are coming off as insecure and too keen to make something work.

    How do you feel about love? Do you believe you deserve the best love just as you are? Or do you believe you need to earn it? Beliefs can carry a vibe with them and people pick up on it.

    I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. This is the current scenario both for women and men… Dating apps ruined the dating culture. Everybody ghosts nowadays, also people don’t put in that much effort anymore and if you are seeing people on their 30s and forward, expect a lot of baggage, people are just running around hurting eachother nowadays. I would advice you to get out of apps and try to meet people irl, through friends, work, in the gym, events, etc. People take more seriously people that met through real life events than people they met online. Good luck 🙂
