Just got ghosted after spending a week and half chatting with someone that had such potential but really only wanted online in the end. Why answer my ad for in person then? And waste my time.

I thought about making another ad and throwing myself back into the search, but why? It is emotionally and mentally draining, am I right? The getting to know each other, the tension of the pic exchange: will they find me attractive? Use the dreaded “cute”? Will I find him attractive? Will he try to sext before we ever meet, which means we will never meet. Will we meet? Will we have chemistry? Will we have sex? Oh my gosh, are we…having an affair? Oh shit is he slow fading me? Breadcrumbing? wtf did I just get ghosted??? 👻

It all feels like overwhelmingly too much to put myself out there yet again. And for too little reward.

Anyone else feeling the same kind of way?

Maybe I just need to go into winter hibernation. Tell me it will get better in the spring??
