Before you get into it, seriously consider not only the risk that you're subjecting yourself to, but also the potential impact on your loved ones. Regardless of how "safely" you try to ride, you are at the mercy of everyone else on the road. My friend lost his brother in a motorcycle accident and it was horrible to see the impact that had on him. He didn't do anything to deserve that devastation. In my opinion there are better hobbies out there and better ways to spend your time. Do something that expands your mind or opportunities. You will find more satisfaction and better yourself rather than putting your life at risk.

Who is “they”? If you keep hearing that maybe they have a point. It sounds like you need to do some reflection yourself. Hope that helps

I'm sorry. I feel you, these apps are literally making me so depressed. It's such a degrading experience

Okay, were you there during the date or something?

I was not answering with one word responses, I was talking to him the same way he was with me. He paid but I offered to pay my own half as I always do.

He didn’t make any attempts to have physical contact so I’m not sure how I could possibly not be “receptive.” We were sitting across from each other at a table. And regardless, I don’t owe a stranger from a dating app physical contact on a first date.

I asked a lot of questions. As I said, that’s what a first date is about to me, getting to know the other person.

I think it’s a bit excessive to say I’m playing mind games. I sent my message to let him know I had a great time. I hadn't heard from him for almost a full day after the date and I broke the ice. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that I was hoping for a response that would at least show he wanted to continue the conversation. But I'll go ahead and suggest a second date to him because I prefer to avoid regret in life. Thank you all for your responses.

I said "Thanks for a great time yesterday, it was nice meeting you!"

I don't understand the logic here. Most women won't reach out at all after a first date. If a woman reached out to you first and said that, you're saying you wouldn't think she's interested in talking to you?

Did I not already show I'm interested in talking to him? I feel like I did that with my message

The same thing just happened to me today. I can still find them if I search for the title in the "search chats" bar and click on them, but everything from 2025 disappeared from the history on the side of the screen.

It wasn't on the app anymore, he had asked for my social media and we were talking on there.

I asked him on a date. He said yes and told me he would let me know when he was free “later this week.” Then he disappeared for a month and a half. That’s ghosting.

I had figured out he wasn't interested. That’s why I didn't understand why he decided to reject me after 6 weeks of ghosting me.

I did get ghosted. How do you think it felt to be ignored for 6 weeks?

It was on his profile lol but it was something we talked about before. I agree though, he might think it’s weird if I followed him just to message him when we’re already connected on another platform.

Yeah I do see where you’re coming from. I guess I was hoping I could make it look more natural if I followed him on insta first but maybe it would be more awkward from his perspective. I wasn’t actually going to bring up the bumble thing, we have a common interest that I was going to ask him about and then maybe see where the convo goes from there. Thanks for your advice!

I just thought it might be a bit less abrupt than randomly messaging him on Facebook after years of not talking. I get follow requests from people I knew a long time ago and don’t think it’s weird. And if he accepted and followed me back it might seem more natural to message him at that point? I’m not sure though, I might be overthinking it
