Online dating guy stalks than disappears?

[angel_kitty]

So I was on a dating app and matched with this person and they asked if they could see my insta and if I had pictures of me on Insta. So I gave them my username and they messaged me on there like dang you’re gorgeous and then I was like chatting with them on insta and they’re like what’s your snap and then they added me on there and we’re like chatting about our hobbies and then they ask like what you looking for friends, relationship, something else and I’m thinking we matched on a dating app so what do they mean? I messaged I was looking for relationship (not with them but in the app) and messaged what are you looking for and they disappeared and unfriended me on Snapchat. So what is the purpose of a dating app if it’s not for dating? It’s not a main stream app either.

Most people on those apps are not seeking a long-term relationship. Many are seeking something on the side. Always, people on there are communicating with at least three people at the same time. He obviously found another who was more closely paired with his interests. I had better luck at www.meetup.com under my particular sport and regular hobbies.

He was probably talking to other women and felt more compatible with them so he cut you off. With online dating you’ve got to have a thicker skin and try not to get offended when these things happen so early in. When I online dated a few years ago I have zero expectations until the guy was worth having them. Because men will ghost and they do it because they don’t owe you closure or an explanation as to why they don’t want to proceed with you.

I’m just wondering why people ask are you looking for friendship when we are on a dating app… um what do you think I’m looking for?

As soon as I said I’m actually looking for relationship he disappeared

You would think that’s the mindset all these men have but 9/10 they’re on the app looking for a casual situation, like friends with benefits. It’s good that you were honest with that guy so that you could see his true nature. He ghosted because he doesn’t want a relationship, so don’t feel bad about that.
