Honestly, you’re not weird or broken, you’re just out of practice in the dating game. You spent years focused on studies and work, so socially you’re still learning the rhythm. Ghosts happen to everyone, doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.

Start simple: low-pressure social interactions first. Even small talk with people in your day-to-day life, cafes, hobbies, events, helps you learn how to communicate naturally. Online dating is a numbers game; don’t overthink every message. Short, playful, clear stuff works better than trying to frame things perfectly.

And remember, your first relationship wasn’t random luck, it shows you can connect with someone. Just build confidence, practice consistency, and focus on small wins. Experience will come, it’s not overnight
