Got ghosted by 3 different girls after 1 date this month. What am I doing wrong?
I'm very discouraged right now because I met 3 different girls online that all showed a lot of interest in me at first but after 1 date they all ghosted me in various forms. I hate online dating but its hard to find other means to meet people with covid. Ill try to briefly provide context in summary:
- Girl 1 1st date was at her house, the vibe felt like she wanted to hook up but I am morally against that on the first date, and after I expressed I wanted to wait she lost interest
- Girl 2 went out to dinner, other than an awkward reply to me asking her a general question (what she was looking for from online dating), I thought it went alright but I never heard from her again after she thanked me for dinner.
- Girl 3 was also dinner date but I thought it went very well, however I avoided asking what she was looking for (based on girl 2 response) and kept conversation light. We talked for a few days afterwards but then she ghosted me too
I'm know kinda shy and socially awkward, but I'm a very good at listening/asking about her, I do not text repeatedly or with neediness, and I'm not emotionally volatile or anything. I really don't understand what is going wrong. "Experts" like Cory Wayne say guys should flirt and go for hook ups but that's not my personality. Do I need to text differently? Or do I just need to give up the online dating platform altogether and wait til something natural happens?
Any advice would be appreciated, this is all very discouraging to me. Thanks
