In the past I(24M) rarely got matches, but after hitting the gym and getting better pictures of me, I’ve been getting a lot more matches and been feeling a lot more confident.
As a whole I don’t have much issue securing first dates, but out of the 20 something so dates I’ve been on these last few months, all of them except literally just one ended with them ghosting me or being a slow fade. Some of them I could tell the vibe just wasn’t there, but in others I thought we connected and had a great time but apparently it wasn’t mutual. I tried being reserved and polite, more suggestive and forward, and being myself(more on the quiet side) but they all ended the same.
Feels worse than not than getting any matches since all these girls were interested in me enough to go out, but leave uninterested or apparently repulsed. Can’t blame pictures or dating apps themselves, it feels like there’s just something wrong with me in general and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Not sure if this is me venting or looking for advice, but these last few months left me thinking dating is just hopeless for me. Are there any step-by-step guide on how to act on dates or something?
