Had a really nice female friend. Also vegan so that made her even more attractive to me. Went on a couple dates. They were fantastic. Now I’m being ghosted (meaning she isn’t responding to me). I switch off from being mad to being sad.

It’s really getting to me. Ik this is corny, but I really thought this girl was better than that. What makes me feel worse is that this has happened to me so many times before. Every single rejection weakens my faith in finding someone I could eventually call a wife.

I’m almost at the point where I don’t want to ever try again. I just can’t take it anymore.

I don’t know how to deal with my emotions and I don’t know if I should confront her.

I’m sorry

Don't worry, it happens to everyone.

What you call rejection is not always as it seems. Most of the time it's the person ghosting you who has a problem. Most of the time related to insecurity. Some people reject happiness because they don't want to get hooked and then losing it. That could be her case.

I'd say, if she doesn't answer your calls, send her a meaningful message explaining her how you feel.

Damn. Being young kind of fucking sucks.

Thanks for the reminder. It makes being old seem slightly less sucky.

Same thing happened to me a few months ago. Don’t worry my friend, it just wasn’t meant to be. Keep your spirits up, work out, focus on improving yourself and you’ll meet someone who values you and your hard work.

Best thing you can do is stop trying and just let it happen.

  1. Don't confront her. If she is already ghosting SHE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Trying to reach out to her after you already have several times just comes off as stalkerish and pathetic, let it go

  2. Don't date vegans. They are unhinged crazy chicks.

  3. Remember no one owes you anything. You have to earn respect and time. Also, it's ok if someone says no to you without explination. It's not nice, but it's ok. Move on. There are lots of other people out there

  4. It's a numbers game. Let me repeat that, it's a numbers game. The more you meet people the better chance you have of finding someone. To clarify I'm not saying sleep around, I'm saying agree to go on more first dates with more people and don't put so much pressure on them.

  5. Be fun. Don't make it serious. Just enjoy spending time with each other.

For the record, I was dating someone else when my husband asked me out. I dated him and the other guy at the same time. The other guy would only call to hang out about once every two weeks, so I didn't take our relationship seriously. My soon to be husband started coming around a lot more and on a regular basis. So I gave him more time. He didn't play games. At six weeks dating we eloped. The other guy, right on cue a week later sent me a message asking to go out on another date. I had to tell him he waited so long between dates that I got married. Five years and 2.5 kids later and we are still going strong. But I felt like I could enjoy my time dating because I wasn't putting the "is he the one?" pressure on myself. I was just enjoying the company. We were not young kids either. I was 33 and he was 39. The other guy was 38. So no, all the drama of dating doesn't go away with age. It just gets worse!

Unfortunately we live in a time where most people aren't capable of dealing with negative situations or confrontation. As much as it sucks, you don't want someone so weak in their personality.

If she isn't responding to you I would chalk it up to her lose unless you want to do more of a chase. My bil asked my sister out a number of times before she said yes(he is pretty Beta too but he knew he wanted her and didn't give up). Some times girls are dumb- if she doesn't want to date you she should just say so. But other times girls need to be persued. If you think she isn't worth the effort or it would not work on her then move on, shake it off and just go on some low presser dates for fun. Usually when you tske the presser off things is when it happens. I've heard that story with people finding "The one" and getting pregnant. Try to enjoy the journey and work on you till you find someone.

What a pussy. Cry cry cry. Are you 14? How about you stop being pathetic, eat some meat, be a man and aim for women who at least ate enough protein during development and were able to grow a brain.

Relationships are communication incarnate. Literally, that is all a relationship is. Communication. The closer the relationship, the more detailed and frequent communication. If you feel that enough time has lapsed to close of any ideas like "internet/phone was disconnected" "emergency hospital trip" "choked on too many dicks", then stop being a insufferable beta and move on.

At your age you're fighting an uphill battle. Our culture seems to infantalize young people and make them afraid of taking on responsibility, which in turn makes many approach relationships with a 'crazy' attitude -- one that they would never adopt in other social settings or at work/school -- basically in an attempt to fend off serious pair bonding.

That is not to say its worth trying to find a wife at a young age. If your goal is to raise a family, it is much, much better to get started young.

Are you religious? Going through church might be a good bet. Hell, even if you're not... It's about community and values. Maybe going there to learn and grow even if you're not 100% on board is admirable in its own way. This is coming from an outright heathen.

Idk about dating apps. When I was on them I was trying to score some easy strange, but found mostly girls looking for serious dating... might have just been the age range I identified (24+).

edit: Btw, hope you feel better soon. Sometimes there's just no way around feeling bad for a while and it's good to just let that take its course knowing eventually it'll just get better again.
