Dating is hard that's why I give up now

I start dating when I moved to the US because I didn't have friends, so I didn't have my group, and I had to restart from the beginning. I always found it hard since I decided to download some apps. I went out with some guys but most of the time I've been ghosted or other kind of problems. Then I met one guy, who made me feel like being in a rollercoaster but I can say with him I felt different (even if he broke my heart multiple times) and I thought he was the one and I was ready to accept everything about him, his lies as well (because I'm not stupid, I know when he was lying to me) and I know that's not good but I fell so hard for him and I don't blame myself for saying it out loud. But then I noticed we weren't on the same page, and even if I miss him sometimes, I can say how hard is dating nowadays because HIM and others left me some scars (big and small). Some people don't say openly what they are looking for (not most of them). Some people tend to hide their emotions because we are strangers and they are scared to open up, I can understand, but there are a lot of ways to start the relationship as... Friends and then slowly something can rise. Some people tend to try to be superficial because (again) they don't want to show something vulnerable about them or they are scared to feel something really big as "love". Some people are here just to have "fun" and think everyone is looking for the same thing without respecting other people's boundaries even if they are clear from the beginning. I met people who were thinking it was okay to go to their apartment soon or kiss them the first day we spent time together. I met people who were thinking to make "sex jokes" soon was fun, while I wanted to start a normal conversation as two normal people who want to know each other. I met people who were pretending to like you just for their own benefit and when they see they don't have it, they drop you off. Most people think this is a game when there are people who want to really find someone, but after meeting this kind of ELEMENTS, they give up (as I did). Because it's too stressful and it takes a lot of energies away. I hope one day all this can change and most of the people out there can really start feeling the real meaning of "loving someone back" and stop thinking with their ego. And I'm not talking only about starting a "relationship" but also respecting other people's feelings. (edited)

I personally think dating is weird. I get why people do it, but I think natural friendships have a higher chance of growing into something else and working than explicitly dating to find a partner. Food for thought though, I'm no expert.

It is saddening that you had to experience such heartbreak. It is unfortunate that people weren’t up front. I also think “giving up” (I prefer calling it letting go) may be an important step. It is freeing to just be. To give only what you want and expect nothing. Wishing you inner peace

It’s good that you acknowledged that, loving someone who’s not reciprocating what you need can be detrimental, I’m speaking from previous experience.

these apps are difficult aren't they? theres lots of different people from different cultures with differing expectations and experiences and you're just expected to write eachother and get to know a person well enough through text when everyone has a motiv or is nervous. you tend to try your best but you get measured every step of the way and you know it. one thing that might help you is to realise that that experience is in the past you have had it and you managed to geow from it. now you can decide in what way you want it to effect who you are. it's okay take your time with these things. anyway, sorry for the ramble and have a nice day.

Totalmente cierto estoy de acuerdo contigo, te deseo que llegue en algĂșn momento alguien que te valore y te respete vales mucho por tu manera de expresarte y hablar, el mundo hoy en dĂ­a estĂĄ de locos y hay veces que no sabemos lo que realmente lo que queremos, en una sociedad donde todo lo tenemos a golpe de un clip ya no valoramos nada ni a nadie, lo que queremos todo rĂĄpido, fĂĄcil y con la misma facilidad lo desechamos, Ánimo todo pasa, todo llega y llegarĂĄ cuando menos lo esperamosđŸ˜Šâ€ïžDios te bendiga ArianađŸŒčđŸ™đŸ»â€ïž (edited)

I have found that being direct when a situation comes up that makes me believe the relationship cannot go forward lands me in hot water every time. The strange thing about that is stories like this, where the game seems to be play around, get commitment and not give it. If you are looking for a ltr, why keep exploring a relationship that is not going to lead there? It just makes no sense to me. On the other hand my problem may be sensitivity...idk.

I’m really sorry, I understand how it feels to be ghosted (happens to me essentially every time I try at this point) I honestly don’t think I’d have the patience like you had, but at the same time I probably wouldn’t even notice anything being off (which has happened twice) I hope soon you can heal from these past events and even find someone like-minded. I do agree that society is a little messed up in regards to feelings and emotions although I will admit I’m personally not much better as I’ve found myself becoming more careless and numb, but I know there’s still a part in me that is quite the opposite

I went through something similar with the last person i dated; healing from heartbreak is hard, especially when you feel like you accepted things that hurt because you loved them. I think dating apps contribute to the way people date from ego, but it is hard to meet new people without them!

Unfortunately 😞 my part of the specie's are only going out for dating whit one purpose in they're minds, and that's not just for a discussion or to drink, and if they don't accomplish they're purpose they just gost you, it happened to me also to be gosted by girls or women but I accepted the my way of life is different than what they accept, maybe is fun and a bit wild but a woman never aspect to be like this for the rest of her life, I'm sorry I'm hearing this so often lately, take a huge hug đŸ€—đŸ€—

I think more time will go, harder dating will get. I just don't see people sharing any more values than just hooking up. I've been single all my life but sometimes watching/reading about people's relationships really makes me think that romance is dead. And probably will stay alive only in kdramas I adore to watch.

It's hard because women don't want to put any effort whatsoever. We need to message first, keep all conversation, be funny be this be that... Put a little effort and you'll be in a relationship in no time.

As far as the being ghosted part. This is an INFJ problem. As an INTJ there is a bit of a psychic kinship there that only Ni dom's really understand. It comes off a bit different to people. We make people feel psychologically naked and it makes them very uncomfortable. INTJ's use that info to plan, but INFJ's use the feelings to "fix". INTJ's are perceived as shady and INFJ's are perceived as meddlesome. Your intentions may just be to have somebody open up so you can optimize their emotional intelligence, but to them it is usually way to early, a bit creepy and can feel like emotional assault if they are uncomfortable being constantly anylized. I litterally had to tell an INFJ once that, "I already have a psychologist and do not need another one". She really did not like hearing that. Most people just kinda silently back out of INFJ savior complexes quietly.

Dating is too hard, I must also say.... I have been in Russia for over 6month, I couldn't find a girl that can speak English. I am trying to look for girls in other English countries but no one wants a long distance relationship. People need to know that love is beyond boundaries, no.matter the distance between you us we can make things happen, if we really want to . Love is beyond language barriers because itself has its own language . I wonder when ladies will start to learn this. Men aren't the same but ladies keep singing men are the same, We are different , it takes a real woman to find a real man .

Too much about other people in too judging a manner, and too little about yourself. You're the one "thinking with your ego" here, playing the victim. Sorry to inform.

Anyone who gives up/ forfeits due to difficult or hard times don't deserve the good ones. Come now selfish Arianna. Life doesn't work how you think don't abolish your own life due to your lack of experience.

It was much better dating the traditional way, and meeting people through freind of a freind. I no online dating has its benefits, but it can be hard work sometimes
