    I’m convinced that dating apps are no longer a good way to find a relationship. They’ve realized that if their users get into LTRs it will hurt their revenue.

    I used to be an avid user of most dating apps, but I’ve had a much more fulfilling love life since quitting them to focus on meeting people IRL

      Not sure why the downvotes, this is a likely scenario. Back when I was bothering with the app, I realized this quickly. There seems to be a line if at which point you’re still gabbing but not meeting up, either party is likely to move on.

        Good thing I’m too depressed to have used dating apps. I’d probably be sitting here thinking about times that happened to me. But I know better, nothing can happen, even bad things, if I’m isolated enough.

      Tbf it’s been one day and OP thinks they got ghosted, when in reality there might be tons of different reasons why he hasn’t got a reply yet

        Yeah, but just before new years? They were wanting new years plans, and they probably made some.

    That’s when it hurts the most. When you feel like things are working out great, when you pour your heart and soul into it, and they suddenly lose interest, and you’re not even granted an explanation as to why or what you might’ve done or said wrong, if anything. Just left feeling like you’re simply not a lovable enough person, and never will be.

    I agree that he waited too long, but simply ghosting on someone in a situation like this is a cruel, shitty thing to do.
