Hi ladies! There is an issue in modern dating I can't seem to figure out and I am hoping the FDS community has answers.

Men and women will be talking, vetting, planning dates. I understand when a man gets frustrated by the woman's vetting and sees his own failure he will take himself out of the running by blocking / ghosting etc. What I don't understand is when a man and woman are getting to know each other, maybe the first few dates have happened, maybe the first date is on the calendar and the man BLOCKS the woman.

There is no heads-up or warning to this. No argument, no conflict, again, dates are on the calendar and so when the woman reaches out, she discovers she is blocked. When this has happened to me, I block back as soon as possible so I don't have to deal with any weird surprises down the line.

But why do men do this? I don't understand this at all. Why block someone you've planned dates with? Is simply planning the date the ego boost? Is there fear of being upfront? What exactly is going on here? I don't know if it's relevant, but I notice the men who do this usually have ADD / ADHD.
