I am ready to start dating again after being ghosted several months ago. I understand that dating apps are full of these people and it’s the worst place to look if I want to avoid it, blah blah. I understand the risks, currently this is the route I want to take for personal reasons.
I really don’t think I’m asking for much- i just need someone that can at least give basic communication about feelings and boundaries and for some reason that seems hard to find these days. How can I make it clear on my profile that I need that without seeming negative or like a sad, abandoned victim?
I go through life trying my best to follow the “treat others how you want to be treated” philosophy and most of the time I think I do a pretty good job at that. If I had been talking to someone and created a connection with them, I wouldn’t just ghost them when I decide I’m uninterested and I would like for someone to do the same for me.
Hinge has a lot of good prompts that I could use, just looking for general suggestions on how to word it. I have audhd and it feels like I sometimes don’t word everything perfectly or am slightly misunderstood.
I understand that some avoidants will probably slip thru the cracks regardless of what my profile says and I’m willing to take that risk and use my own discernment.
On that note, maybe also advice for things to look for on other peoples profiles. From my last ghosting experience I learned by the end that her extremely vague profile could have been an indication that she has a fear of being seen which could have led her to be more likely to ghost. Okay, if you have read this far thank you and I appreciate any (positive and kind) input.
