As a fellow widower and a single dad now I understand what you're going through. I'm lucky that I found someone in similar circumstances as me. But the sifting through bullshit does get tiresome. The key is to be happy with whichever circumstance you find yourself in; single or relationship. I'd say stop actively dating for now. And if someone comes along that really clicks with you then you're not too jilted by the current dating scene and can give it an honest try.
its just weird, most of the advice i see online is terrible to say the least. Ghosting people to manipulate them to talk to you? Intentionally delaying messages to appear more non chalant, etc. Most of this device cant be that good since the people using it are in unhealthy relationships, so you take it with a grain of salt
