I've been getting ghosted in the middle of good conversations and honestly, it's fucking me up. How do you guys deal with this?
There's something about the apps that hook you up in fantasy rather than reality. We've got our best pictures, our coolest activities. You exchange those one liners and witty comebacks. When you go on a bad date, you can just shrug it off knowing you weren't for each other. But when the conversation is very enthusiastic with a date set up then suddenly they disappear? What am I to make of that? I can't even find fault in them because I haven't really gotten to know them yet. So I'm just left with a broken fantasy.
I'm 26 and it already feels like my best dating days are years behind me. I feel so suffocated within this digital hellscape and I'm so tired of yearning for real connection.
