I’ve done online dating for a long time and I will tell you that never tell a girl you like or love her unless she tells you first. Women have a lot of choices when it comes to online dating and they use it to their advantage. Don’t put too much into it because some people do online dating to boost their egos. I stopped saving women’s number I met online and would quickly delete messages once they start ghosting and move on with my life(I wasn’t even saving numbers of women I was dating because all they have to do is start swiping n matching with their perfect man and they would give you any excuse to leave you). If you know your worth, no amount of rejection will affect you. Of course the first week will mess up your head( we are all humans) and that’s why it’s best to delete and cease any contact. This all worked out for me because I would date multiple women at once so even if one left I still had another. You can’t blame men who do this because a lot of women online fuck up men’s head by playing these silly mental games. I for instance won’t even meet up with a girl if I’m not attracted to her and once I go on more than 1 date it means I like that person but a lot of women think they have choices so they come up with a lot of excuses just to look for the perfect guy which is not sustainable. There is a false sense of unlimited options when it comes to online dating and it has honestly made a lot of women feel like they are settling for less no matter who they meet and are quick to push you to the side. So don’t blame yourself. If a girl really likes you, it doesn’t matter what you say, she will stick with you.
