After another what I thought was a good date only to be ghosted afterwards (and I waited 6 hours for them too) I am deleting dating apps. And I am deleting reddit off my phone.
No more distractions. No more external elements in life that bring me misery and depression.
Good riddance.
F me thats bad. I had someone show up to a date an hour and a half late once, then was surprised when I was barely keen when they finally showed. A mates mrs (who set us up) was excited to ask me how it went. I said "Well, she stood me up for ages.... so not really interested!" She replies "Oh, thats just who she is. You'll get to know her!" "Nah, I'm right thanks. I might hate myself, but I respect myself more than that".
It wasn't a stand up. It was more I was in Launceston doing some things, hoping to see my brother who was flying in to watch the footy but he had flight issues, and I talked to her and she had something on and wanted to meet afterwards.
It means waiting 6 hours but she seemed keen to meet. I liked what I knew of her, we spoke on the phone, so I went for it.
Thought it went well but ... apparently not.
It also takes me 90-100 minutes to get to Launceston.
I feel like a real mug sometimes.
Miss 100% of the shots you don’t take bro. Look at it as an absolute win: you’re not so jaded that you didn’t try.
hugs
Thanks :)
I'm sorry you went through that. It's happened to me as well and it hurts like hell.
The apps aren't really good for ones mental health. They are tipped heavily against the average man as well.
Take some time to heal, and try going out and meeting people in real life. It's a lot harder and I've only really started myself, but it's a lot better.
Take care of yourself mate ❤️
Thanks. Appreciate that.
I'm gonna focus on uni and writing and how things work out.
