When I look back at a few of my early tinder messages that still exist they were so much more lively, now They’re so much more formulaic; I approach dates with a sense of pessimism because the last few were pretty crap; I met the most attractive girl I’d seen and we planned a date but went into lockdown the day before and she ended up ghosting me; even girls who’ve told me how pathetic they think ghosting is have ghosted me; worst of all is that I’ve actually ghosted and strung people along after telling myself I never would stoop so low.

What’s your advice to someone feeling this way?
