I've been on dating apps for a few weeks now, and I've had my fair share of good and bad dates. But there's one date that I'll never forget. It was with a guy named Joel.
We met on Tinder and matched right away. He was tall and handsome, and he had a great sense of humor. We talked for hours, and I felt like I could tell him anything. I was really smitten with him.
One night, after a particularly passionate evening, our date ended really well. I was so happy. I had finally found the one for me. He walked me outside, said goodnight, and we both parted ways afterwards. He told me that he had a great time, and he asked me out on our next date. I said yes without hesitation.
But Joel never called me. He ghosted me.
I was devastated. I couldn't understand why he would ghost me after such a great date. I kept replaying the date in my head, trying to figure out what I had done wrong.
But I couldn't come up with anything. I had been by myself, and he seemed to have a good time. So why did he ghost me? I never found out for sure. But the experience left me with a lot of unresolved traumas. I felt rejected, humiliated, and insecure.
For weeks, I couldn't stop thinking about Joel. I would wonder if he was thinking about me too. I would check my phone constantly, hoping to see a text message or chat from Messenger.
But he never contacted me.
