So i've been single for about a little while now and it's been rocky with intermittent "success" on dating apps. Recently i met someone i feel has relationship potential, our first date was a lot of fun and flirty and ended in a passionate kiss. Then she got sick and when we met for our second date things whilst still nice felt not quite as racy. Our goodbye was potentially a bit awkward which i think killed the vibe a bit. As of now the most we've done is kissed. I've been trying to not focus on just one person as this has burnt me in the past and i'm worried i already blew it on that second date.

I've recently hooked up with two different girls and the more recent girl and i really got along well. We clicked instantly after not seeing each other for like two years as i invited her to join me to go out clubbing. She opened up to me a lot, she's clearly been through a lot recently and i appreciate her honesty and trust. We flirted and went home together, had a nice time and i stayed the night and into the next day. The mood was good and flirtatious, she even gave me food. We left together and she had plans and i went home, we walked holding each other so i felt like we were on good terms. We kissed goodbye and we kept in touch the next days. This is where things got a bit weird, i implied seeing her again and she told me that she'd be busy over the next two weeks with work. Fair enough. Then i saw her posting that she's finished with work a few days later. Felt a bit disingenuous and kinda like i've been pseudo-ghosted. Of course it was a spontaneous time we spent together but this girl was almost asking me to be her boyfriend on this night after how well we clicked. I'm thinking she might be avoidant? She's still liking posts of mine.

Ultimately i'm kinda numb to it all now but no matter whether things progress with anyone i have interest in it feels like there's just so much chance it can fall through instantly. All girls told me i'm attractive, our conversations flowed, and i was intimate with two and that was seemingly good so yeah i'm just a bit confused currently. i'm hoping the first girl gets in touch but i'm prepared for that not to happen. I guess this is just the state of things with dating apps now. I guess i'm holding on to these experiences since things have been quite barren in the past or i've just been disrespected or ghosted. I think for 2025 we all need to remove these apps, they cause so much confusion and competition for something that should be a lot more fun than it is. Any tips for where to go from here is of course appreciated and open to any observations.
