To be honest I'm not sure if I'm using the term in the right way but here goes lol. I'm 18F, recently joined a dating app and have been talking to a couple people but one guy in particular. For context, I've never dated anyone before at all, let alone used an app. He's been really sweet and hasn't...said anything outright concerning, but I feel like he's trying to move things a little fast. I'm a HS senior and he's a college freshman if that means anything.

We've been talking since Sunday and he's already asking me things like to text him when I wake up (either from sleep or from naps), sending a lot of photos, and sort of asking for photos back. I was recently injured and he joked about any male nurses asking for my number which I thought was...odd, considering I was in my high school's nurse's office (which he knew) and that would be deeply inappropriate. I feel like I'm going crazy, maybe it's just that things are moving too fast for my personal comfort? I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's just a lot of little things that add up.

I 24 m took a 22 f out to play mini golf, it seemed like we were having a good time but very quick. She was laughing and smiling and just having simple conversation getting to know each other. I then suggested we go to a public park which she agreed to so I showed her on the maps where to meet up and she just ended up blocking me right after and I have 0 clue why. I feel I’m pretty perceptive when it comes to dating reading cues or what not but idk what happened. So she had me drive 20 min out of the way to wait there for like 30 min to never hear from her again. Pretty disappointed tbh I’d really like to know what I did wrong. Why is dating so difficult?now I just feel exhausted from this experience.

I met a girl through hinhe and basically deleted the app for a while I made another account exact same pictures prompts. However, only this time I would get maybe one like a day whereas before I would get at least 30. I also know something fishy is up because when I put no distance limit no age limit I still get no likes. Whereas, before I would literally get a like every second. Could u have been shadow banned? I also wonder this cause recently I’ve been getting no matches and when I do it’s likes I sent out ages ago. Almost like my sent likes are being pushed to bottom of others profiles
