Not sure if the background is necessary but I'm coming out of a long streak (like years and years) of bad confidence and no luck with women. I have a long scar on my face and have had to deal with a lot of rude people. Made a change to become more positive last year and I slowly started to see improvement. I gained 20lbs of muscle, got a high paying job, and started being more outgoing. Been getting some numbers, some first dates. I broke my no-sex streak finally with a girl overseas last year. That helped.

So my question is basically why do most women (99% so far) give me sudden silent treatment and ignore me? I usually get a number and text a little back and forth. Sometimes I can set up a hang out, but eventually communication just flatlines. I am never rude or anything and I get this cold silence. One of them did this and I still see her all the time at the gym. Why would anyone do this? It's incredibly rude and what happens when we eventually run into each other again? Why not a simple "no thanks"? I don't mind rejection, but being coldly ignored makes me feel like I am a bad person or something.
