Here are my two most recent submissions!
I'll preface this by saying that I do appreciate when a woman I've been seeing casually let's me know they don't see potential for a romantic connection sooner rather than later; however, I find myself more and more wondering what sort relationship killing vibe am I giving off?
Even when the offer for feedback is given, and I take them up on it, it just boils down to 'lack of chemistry'. Which is totally valid, but also almost completely unhelpful. I'm apparently a wicked awesome guy and fun enough to be around that being friends appears to be a genuine offer on the table (I mean, hopefully that's not used as a conciliation prize and there's an actual interest in enjoying my company).
I think the hardest part for me is that the two examples I've posted represent months of getting to know someone and genuinely putting in real effort. I'm interesting on paper enough to match. And interesting enough to see in person a few times; however, it just doesn't lead anywhere. Which ultimately is fine, I know I'm (obviously) not going to click with every woman I talk to, but damn! It definitely gets a bit disheartening, especially because I have a busy schedule and really can't make plans with more than one woman at a time and actually give them my full attention.
And these are the woman I actually manage to make in person contact with, haha. There are dozens of dead chats littering my inboxes where it never made it past a handful of messages not to mention probably hundreds of 'likes' and intros I've made that don't even get a response.
Anyway, now my thoughts are wandering.
Anyone else with similar experiences? Do you dust yourselves off and try again, and again?
Do women get friend-zoned too, or are guys more likely to just ghost?
