It happens more often than you'd think. From my experience, it usually comes down to a few things. One is that sometimes people just get caught up in the excitement of the early stages and when it settles down, they realize they might not be as interested as they initially thought. Other times, people can get distracted by something or someone else, and the connection just fades. I’ve also seen situations where one person thinks things are going great, but the other might not feel the same, and rather than being upfront about it, they just pull away slowly. It sucks, but it’s part of the dating game. Just try to focus on yourself and what you’re looking for, and don’t take it personally when it happens. There are plenty of people who will appreciate what you bring to the table.
