Why do people spread dating fears they’ve never personally experienced?

I really couldn't say. Perhaps they are trying to justify their own fears and projecting them on others hoping people will sympathize with them.

The truth is that there are always going to be fears getting into a relationship. What if he or she doesn't end up the right person. What if it is a messy breakup. What if I find out something they didn't want me to know. Etc.

They’ve heard about them from friends. I’ve never been on a dating app, but I’ve heard enough to know they’re not great. You don’t need to personally drink rat poison to know it’s a bad thing.

Yes, some people find their true love on dating apps, but the great majority don’t

I don't have any luck finding relationships from offline and online spaces even though i'm no longer looking anymore.

They just may have had bad experiences in the past or are shy or for that matter new to dating and sex.

I don’t know why they would do that if they haven’t dated
