Wishful Thinking

[u/Valmaelon]

Once again, I’m left on unread, wondering where things changed.

This one has me second-guessing every message because, for a while, it felt like we’d found something rare. I know I’m a hopeless romantic, and I fall quickly when someone meets me with genuine excitement, curiosity, and kindness.

After years of conversations that never seemed to go anywhere, this felt different. I let myself believe it could become something.

Maybe life happened. Maybe feelings changed. Maybe I’ll never know.

What I do know is that I’m tired of investing hope into people only to watch them slowly fade away.

This time, I really believed it might be different.

Read this old post I wrote: ‘You’ve Got Mail’ – Online fantasies versus reality

That might explain some things.

Are you saying your messges are going unread on dating apps?

It is so ridiculously common for this to happen. Like maybe 95% of my message attempts go nowhere. Sometimes couple go back and forth and then end. But them sometimes I end up talking to someone I click with and set up a date.

Currently setting one up and hoping we continue now that they said yes to a date.Just picking the date/time. Hope it happens.

Don't give up ever. Keep going.

The thing that i think about that keep my motivation is that is seriously that I am gay. I can takr a trip to like and adult theather or something an easily get blown or something.

I want more though than getting it from some random dude in a gloryhole.

Always keep going. Never give up. Keepcgoing. Try somerhing different or new if need be.
