Feeling disconnected with dating?

[Serenitykayyy]

I dated this guy a while ago and I thought we really hit it off. We would go every weekend and have fun. Eventually he slowly stopped talking to me. I tried to keep the relationship going, but eventually got tired of being the only one reaching out and keeping the conversation going. One day I just stopped talking to him because I was getting the idea that he only wanted one thing. And he never reached out. We haven’t talked since.

I’ve been going out with other guys. But now I feel so disconnected. I’m having the same conversations with the same people about the same thing over and over again.

I have altogether stopped dating. Have came to the conclusion that and today’s culture everyone just wants to hook up. And that’s not for me.

Do you believe today’s culture of dating is saturated and hook of culture has taken over?

I know what you mean. One thing I absolutely hate about the dating scene now is ‘ghosting.’ Especially when i think things are going really well , then suddenly they vanish without warning. I honestly would rather take a nasty text telling me what i did or said wrong over being ghosted anyday.

im trying to be a bit more careful about who i fall for to combat this trend a bit. It is disheartening yeah. The people who want a real genuine connection with someone get the short end of the stick over people who don’t understand what commitment means. Yes I’ll include those who just wanna hookup with that too.

Yes. I don't even bother dating anymore because it seems like every woman is just pre-occupied with sex anymore. I've often said all the wife material women are married off by 25. Some are salvageable after that. But largely if a guy hasn't found her by 25 he should stop trying.

I feel the same way unless there’s someone who really stands out or genuine where I might be open. Maybe take a break and let it happen on its own when you feel like it? I always tell my friends I just don’t have the energy after dating a lot and it becomes a burned out 😂😭 and I think you might be experiencing the same after that one connection and it can get emotionally tiring to start over with new people to see if there’s a connection.

That makes sense. I think this gen is totally messed up.

You definitely aren’t the only one. In fact your way of thinking is slowly becoming the most common way of thinking

Ya I feel liked it’s like an opening of Pandora’s box that women let happen, hook up culture wouldn’t exist if women didn’t let it happen.
