I can’t even feel sorry for her at this point. She just looks stupid and I’m sick of the comments saying “btw skinny shaming is still body shaming !!1!11!!!1!” as if there isn’t a clear difference between being a healthy slim and a starving skeleton.
This is more of a vent post, I know it’s not a big deal in the long run, but I (F25) can’t help but feel utterly disheartened when I seem to be having a good conversation going with a guy, only for him to stop replying and it inevitably ends. I know this happens to quite a few people including men, but I find myself just feeling sad at it all. There was one guy (M28) in particular that I was having such good banter with for a week on hinge, and I know realistically that text doesn’t always transcribe to what a person is actually like in real life, but I was kind of hoping he’d set up a date in person. He had mentioned he was currently finishing his PhD, so I completely understand if he’s busy and would rather wait a bit to meet up. Except that he never really hinted at wanting to meet in person.
The last time we messaged each other, I had sent a bunch of messages replying to what he previously said, and I realize that I’m quite a yapper in text (which is the opposite of how I am in person, I’m actually quite shy), but idk, he just seemed kind and funny so I guess I felt comfortable texting him. The last message I had sent, I offered texting outside of the app and asked for his number, if he was comfortable with that of course. Now it’s been over two weeks since, and no reply, and I can’t help but feel I did something wrong. Maybe I sent too many messages and it was a turnoff? Did I say the wrong thing? Should I have not asked for his number?
A part of me wants to reach out but I’m not sure if that would come across as desperate. I feel like the ball is basically in his court now, but I have a feeling the conversation has essentially ended. This has also happened to a couple other days I’ve talked to, although the chats haven’t lasted as long as with this guy. I’m quite sad, as I’m genuinely looking for something long-term (and his profile said so too), and he just seemed like a decent man and someone I would have liked to meet.
