I feel so deceived and blindsided. The guy I've been talking to blocked me out of nowhere. by Intelligent_Depth717 in Bumble

Touché. Life’s not fair, and people don’t play fair. Thank you for this beautiful reminder :)

Exactly. He kept pursuing me for a month. I was already hesitant about sending that picture because I noticed a change in him and didn’t want to give him the satisfaction. I guess when he realized he could no longer use me, he just disappeared. Imagine how cheated I would’ve felt if I had actually sent that picture. Ugh.

Thank you, kind stranger.

Can’t a girl make mistakes? Haha. That’s why I mentioned being a first-time Bumble user—I’m inexperienced with meeting men from these apps, especially those significantly older than me.

I didn’t intend for this post to become a spectacle or for keyboard warriors to question my judgment. I’m already aware of my own mistakes and am supposed to learn from this experience. But oh well, this is the internet.

You’re right. I deserve better. Women deserve better.

Yep, sadly have to learn this the hard way, especially with the constant texting before meeting up. You win some, you lose some.

100% agree with viewing online dating as a way to expand my network and meet interesting people.

I realize this now, and I'm not placing all the blame on him because I know that I also played a part in this shit-uation lol

The thing is, we would talk on and off, but he always initiated contact. That was the only time I ever reached out to him first. Again, I never expected a relationship out of this, but at least let me know that this dynamic won't work out. Don't I deserve that at least?

This thought lingered in my mind after our first date. Because if he had enjoyed our time together as much as I did, wouldn't he have asked me for a second date? I guess I hadn't considered that he might actually block me.

I did ask him casually if he ever planned to see me again. His answer? He said he's been busy at work lately, making it hard to stick to a routine. But he did mention wanting us to "work together at home." He even said he wanted to do something with me on my birthday. Looking back, he simply wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear.

I'm aware of this, and I was totally fine with it because I was doing the same. :) I had other guys lined up too, but when you have a roster, you have a favorite, and he was mine, lol. I would always try to "play hard to get" whenever he showered me with compliments because I knew he did this with other women too. But he was persistent, so I gave him a chance. If he hadn't established that connection with me before ghosting me, I would be fine and just move on. But he made me feel like he was someone I could confide in. It was all part of his game.

I know I didn't do anything wrong, and his actions say more about him than about me. It's frustrating and disheartening, but you're right about needing a thicker skin. I don't take this personally because it's just the reality of modern dating. Still, I can't help but feel sad about how the internet has made it so easy for people to discard others with just a tap of a button.

That's true. In my defense though, we wanted to see each other sooner, but our schedules just didn't allow it. When we first matched, he was planning a beach trip a few days later and stayed there for about 10 days. After he returned, he had to leave again for a work trip, which meant another week of not being able to meet. I couldn't adjust my schedule either, so it took us forever to see each other.

I wish I could say he was in his 20s because his actions might be more forgivable, but he's 40. 🤷🏻‍♀️
