Is travelling becoming mandatory for dating? (28M)

I know it may seem like a silly question, but the amount of woman whos lives are centered around or heavily involves travelling is crazy. I feel like I cant connect with anyone because the conversations always start with or lead into travelling. It leads me to feeling like I have nothing to contribute because I dont have as many travelling stories. Of course, I can always ask questions and make inferences but I feel the convo goes flat when I dont have as much to mention myself.

This isn't to say I dont travel at all, I have done but its just not as big a thing for me as it seems to be for most women I meet.

Has anyone else struggled with something similar? Regardless of gender involved ofc, I feel like its something someone else must have had an issue with.

Poor experience with Breeze app

Downloaded Breeze about a month ago. Short premise of the app is that there is no chat option prior to the date. If you both match, you both pay for a "date token" and the app books you a seat at a bar. The idea is it discourages flaking/cancelling due to already providing a small financial incentive of £9.50. The app also asks both people to "check in" 30hrs prior to the date to confirm its still going ahead.

Despite this, I've had 3 dates cancel on me recently. Its pretty draining to ready yourself for a date throughout the week, only for it to be cancelled. All the app does is apparently restrict their accounts for a while. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience and any possible recommendations?

Ghosted again. Is there anything I can do about this (even if she has shown interest)?

Hey everyone

I'm 29M went on a few dates with a 29F. Vibe and energy was really good and we both clicked fairly well. I've become familiar with her texting patterns, so no worry from me that I dont hear from her throughout the day as she is working.

However its been 2 full days now and no reply from her. She even said she was willing to plan the next date. I'm just really confused as to why I think I have/close to being ghosted despite the fact we both got on and she was willing to plan something, which is surely a sign of some intent/attraction? Surely you wouldn't do that for someone you don't like?

For context we met on Breeze and exchanged numbers after the date. I really don't want to double message as that seems a bit desperate but considering she agreed to meet tomorrow, should I send a quick text to ask if we're still going ahead?
