I’m starting to lose all hope in dating

I get that this probably gets posted here a lot but I wanted to say my piece.

Modern day dating, especially dating apps, are both absolutely terrible.

I was talking to a girl, we were getting on great, then she goes radio silent. This happened twice, and just as I was ready to call it quits, she messages back saying she’s sorry and that she doesn’t check the site much. I suggested that we move to a different app, and then out of no where she just removes me as a match.

And this was with someone where we actually had a decent conversation going…

How are you supposed to actually get anywhere with these apps??

I’m just at a point where I don’t know how to meet people anymore. I’ve gone to clubs, I’ve got a new job, I’ve picked up new hobbies, and I’ve tried literally every dating app possible

Help me get out of this please, it’s really messing with my mental health

probably one of those paid ones. the apps hire fake girls to chat to guys and keep them on the app, when u suggesting moving of the app no reason for them to talk to you

She sent me quite a few voice notes so I know she was genuine. I’m guessing she just enjoyed the attention and then the moment it was looking to go anywhere serious she bailed.

Take a break and re-evaluate yourself. As for apps, I wouldn't recommend coz you not sure who you're chatting. I'd prefer you approach a lady directly, be it in the mall, park etc. that way you even boost your confidence instead of hiding behind the keypad in those apps.

yeah I’m definitely taking a break from the apps. I just find approaching girls difficult because they’re always on their phones and looking like they’re not wanting someone to talk to them. Kinda wish I was born 30 years earlier!
