Dating is often seen as really difficult. Many people share stories of horrible experiences, saying they just can’t seem to find anyone right for them.
I hear things like, “I had two good dates, and then they ghosted me.” Ghosting is so common, yet many don’t fully understand what it means. If you’ve had three or four dates and then never hear from the person again, it likely just means they’re not interested.
Yes, it’s painful. But the lack of communication shows immaturity—it takes courage to simply say, “I’m not feeling this. Best of luck to you.” In those moments, I ask myself, Do I want this kind of person in my life? And honestly, no—I wouldn’t. It’s also important to remember: people don’t owe us anything.
