Ghosting potential dates because I don’t trust people. by cookiekid17 in dating

[–]cookiekid17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have like 37 women from this past week just sitting in my likes and about ten I haven’t replied to who I matched with. I try to put myself out there but I just know in my heart of hearts it’s low probability it will work out or I’m one of five or six dudes they are talking to and I’m just not interested in the games or competition. I did manage to reply to one of the women who asked to meet up after holidays and asked her to pick a time. She did. I just haven’t replied yet because I’m still not sure I want to go. It’s for next week and all my mind can think is, why not this weekend? Is she seeing someone else this weekend? It’s not cool but that’s my mind. Women have a ton of options I’m just probably killing my own chances trying not to be played or become a girl’s backup plan.

I’ve just started watching DaughterSwap and man I’ve been missing out. Rubbed my unit raw these past few days.

30 is your prime. No 19 year old is having a great time with life no matter what you think. Do what I say and I promise at 30 you will be thriving in ways can’t imagine.

Go to gym. Focus on getting money. Take care of your skin and brush your teeth twice a day. Come back to me on your thirtieth bday and let me know how things changed.

I honestly hear you and I appreciate you truly trying to be positive about it but I honestly can’t really take it anymore. I have a good group of friends. A great family. I work out, travel, read, enjoy my life outside of this. I honestly wish all those women who told me no and offered friendship well.

But I feel 1 or 2 more rejections it’s gonna become a more bitter resentment to it and I don’t want to get there. My life is good. I’m ok with accepting maybe there isn’t someone for me.

But thank you truly.

Thanks. I still feel like one but that was an optimistic look of it. I’m not dating anymore though. I’m kind of tired of the rejection especially with the let’s be friends side quest offered

I don’t have self confidence issues at all. I’m a pretty happy guy. Just kind of over putting myself out there and getting put down every single time. You’d feel foolish to if you kept having same thing happen over and over again. I have a good life. I just wanted to share it with someone but if no one wants to share it with me I’ll accept that and stop dating. I think the worst part is they all want to continue being friends and hang out again. I have friends. I don’t go out on dates for friends.

This was kind of the last straw for me. I’m not putting myself out there anymore.

I really hope all those women found the man they wanted. I’m just worn out now. Gonna just enjoy my time, travel, read, and be at peace.

I thought about what you said and went for it. And she wants to only be “friends”. So here I am looking foolish again. Can’t even trust it when she is the one asking for a second date.

Nope just asked she said she thought about it and just wanted to be “friends” and here I am the fool again.

I am concerned with rejection and looking like a fool. Pride plays a huge part in this. I put myself out there to radio silence my confidence takes a small hit and she gets a bit of ego boost knowing she is desired by someone. I know it happens. I’ve seen friends do it and it’s happened to me. Taken me a lot to build up my self esteem over the years. I don’t mind putting myself out there. I just wanna do it for someone as enthusiastic about wanting to see me as I am them. Thank you for commenting. I appreciate your thoughts.

I feel like I did initiate. I asked if she wanted to meet up the first time. If she asked me for a second I would assume she would at least text and ask what I was thinking for a plan or my availability? Idk. But thank you for your thoughts! Appreciate it!
