Rejection is wearing on me
Hi people So I guess I'm here just to vent a bit. Yesterday I had a first date with this woman that I met through a dating app. I've had lots of dates with different women over the years, and mostly it's frustrating, but most of the times there is not really a connection on either side so it's a bearable frustration. But with yesterday's date, I actually liked her, and the date went fine, but she doesn't want to see me again. And now I feel totally unlikeable. This girl in particular, I will have forgotten about her in a few days. But this feeling the there's something in me that people don't like, this feeling is always with me. And when it gets intensified by a rejection like this, I feel like any effort to improve is pointless.
Hey, hope you’re feeling a little better. Don’t be so hard on yourself, a lot of men and women go through what you have described. Dating is not the same as it used to be back in the days. Unfortunately what you are describing is very normal. You should always be working on yourself regardless of being single or not. I haven’t had much luck in dating apps either. Either it’s lack of connection or the people are just on there playing games. People are complicated, which is why relationships aren’t easy. Maybe give the dating apps a break for now, regroup, and try again. I wish you all the best
@thesnail Keep going but its sometimes good to take a break it can cause you to have or experience burnout
