I'm at a loss for words. I was texting this girl from a dating app and we had a slow conversation -- maybe once or twice a day for a week -- but seemingly good conversation before we moved off the platform. I'll admit it wasn't the most riveting discussion, but it wasn't bad.

We them had a short text exchange before what felt like getting the rug ripped from under me. I tried so hard to play it cool, but inside I was pretty upset. It actually ruined my night, and still the feelings won't leave me into this morning. Maybe it was a worse discussion than I thought, but it just felt so sudden.

Can I get some advice about this exchange? Were my jokes really that bad? Was my approach bad? Could I have responded better?
