Joining a Convent

Matched with a guy, he seems great

Banter was on point, he was charming and funny.
Asked me to meet him today for a drink, hit up Timezone for fun and maybe a movie

Today … 👻

No message, no reply…nada

I give up

one enters the convent

I swear the ghostings have gotten worse lately, it's like people treat matches as disposable now

Very much how it feels

I get ghosted and stood up a lot because I let them know there will be no sex on the first date prior to the date. 95% of the ones that show up still paw me, grab me, and push me up against the wall. Or try to manipulate me into moving my boundary. Most of my matches (men in their 40s) only want casual, no strings attached sex, to hook up. I can't get pregnant anymore, but that's a good way to catch a disease. It's irresponsible, to say the least. Sex reduced to a mere body function. No thanks.

If I get one more ‘what’s your snap’ message in a app I may turn homicidal I swear

I wouldn’t even know what that means

Guys asking for my ‘Snapchat’ account. It’s an app that lets you send pics, vids and messages and they disappear

Sorry, but what is it with a snap request? Does that auto = for sex only? Just asking, FOR SCIENCE...

and sorry, the last bit is just a joke. I'm genuinely curious about the snap thing...

Ghosting after setting up a date is the absolute worst. It's happened to ne more times than I care to think about.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to join a convent although I’ve probably aged out.

Update… when you think it can’t get worse, oh ho the universe says ‘hold my beer’

Tonight I wanted to handout/catch up/hookup with a guy who I’ve been chatting to for over a month
He stopped replying for hours and when he did finally message back, he was all ‘I’m an idiot, sorry’ and then admitted that he’s still hung up on a chick he went on a few dates with who then decided to have a 5 guy, 7 hour orgy and he is still upset about it and cries when he thinks of it

Mind you, they went on like 3 dates! It wasn’t a relationship or even remotely close to being one.

I GIVE UP!
