I think I just experienced the weirdest dating culture in Bangalore.
I moved to Bangalore a while ago, and one thing everyone told me was, "You'll meet amazing people here." I believed it.
A few weeks ago, I matched with a girl on a dating app. We spoke for almost two weeks. The conversations were great, she'd send good morning texts, share memes, and even talk about future travel plans. It genuinely felt like we were getting to know each other.
Finally, we decided to meet at a café in Indiranagar.
The date actually went well. We talked for nearly three hours, laughed a lot, and she even said we should meet again soon. Before leaving, she hugged me and said, "Text me when you get home."
I did.
No reply.
I thought maybe she was busy, so I waited.
The next day... nothing.
Two days later... still nothing.
Then I noticed she was posting Instagram stories, active on WhatsApp, but my messages stayed unread. A week later, I realized she'd quietly unfollowed me and removed me from her followers too.
No explanation. No "I didn't feel the connection." Not even a simple "Take care."
What confused me wasn't the rejection—everyone has the right to lose interest. It was how someone can go from acting genuinely interested in person to disappearing without saying a single word.
That experience taught me something: chemistry during a date doesn't always mean consistency afterward.
I'm not angry anymore, just a little disappointed. I guess ghosting has become so normal that basic honesty is now considered rare.
Has anyone else in Bangalore experienced something similar, or was I just unlucky?
