So being back on the dating scene and finding out that online has changed a Hell of a lot. Women (and I guess men) are now so unrealistic and the sweet shop syndrome is in full effect it would appear.

Anyway, this is a bit of a rant, but if any women can give their views on it that would probably help a lot.

So go on a date, get complimented that the photos do me no justice, chat for hours. Have a good passionate kiss at the end. Arrange the next date, as I don't believe in playing games I say if I am interested or not: Next day, or a couple of days later blocked on all ways of communicating with no reason given...

Or in addition to the above you do go on the second date, and several more, even end up getting intimate, then wham blocked with no reason.

I'd shrug it off if these were a couple of incidents, but the first one has happened 3 times in the last 4/5 months. The second one has happened twice.

What is it with women these days? Do you really just kiss anyone even if you don't fancy them (I'm strange I need the attraction!)? Do you really just have sex with guys you have no interest in actually forming a relationship with?? (even though all of the conversation pointed to you being very into the man and hoping it will go somewhere. And at no point did you have any kind of falling out).

Is it more that modern communications just make it so much easier to throw possible partners away, even after dating and getting intimate? does it remove the need for considering the consequences of your actions?

I suspect ladies will have similar experiences too, but I can only speak from my point of view. I certainly get why a lot of people will not trust or wear their heart on their sleeve anymore...

Sorry, rant over! Any views would probably be helpful!

(Sigh) Another Debbie Downer.

In my experience , over the years , I did come across many women , in the first category.... these I considered serial daters , who were out to have meals in all the fancy restaurants , I would take them to .... the second category ... I put down to women who totally enjoyed sex , with a twist , they wanted different partners ....
Needless to say , I started offering only coffee dates to start with and refusing invitations to 'let's go upstairs' . I noticed a decrease in the amount of dates , I was able to generate..... but by then my heart went back into my pocket... and it's been there ever since .
Yes, the dating scene has certainly changed .....

Hihi, the world is (still) full of 'em!
Me, I'm skipping this one :) Too long a read anyways.

Well..all I can tell you..from personal experience..is that
I always knew with the first word spoken if the date was
going to fly or not, just something you know.

If not, no point in beating a dead horse.

On the other hand, I never would have accepted a blind first
date were I not already mad for the chap ;-)

Hi sir

Being blocked or ghosted can be soul destroying .. if you let it be Often it is an indication of perceived incompatibility , a personal boundary being crossed or a desire to avoid confrontation .

ONLY THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WANT, AND NOT WHAT YOU DO NOT

WANT....WHEN WE FOCUS ON WHAT WE DO NOT WANT THE WORLD WILL GIVE US

MORE OF WHAT WE DO NOT WANT..OH KEEP THIS OUR LITTLE ''SECRET''...

That's real you are deeply right about that❤❤❤

that's right❤❤

A humble Opinion from Asia:
Here Love is still as good as in America during the 80's.... There are still many souls seeking for a real partner to grow old with instead of cold, lonely bed or maybe the fear of dying alone but its fast changing due to the exposures of social media fast approaching toxic relationships So discern and seek with right intentions... Seek honestly and you shall find, there are still many good genuinely people who are not looking for fast hookup or to scams.

Dating...itself, hasn't changed much. There is no such thing as a 'date' online. That's known as correspondence.
Dates are in your face real-time experience in the actual presence of another.

The dating hasn't changed much at all but the people dating have changed.
Many personalities are socially driven. Social order is dictated by the media we expose ourselves to. We are taught by this media overkill to seek -
"I want what I want when I want it. Give it to me now."

Society is saturated by media, day in and day out, which drills this ideal into us so we will buy more, do what is expected and be satisfied when we make those decisions which support the ideal.

The conditioning bleeds into our personalities and we prefer situations where the ideal becomes the backbone. "What's in it for me?"

Dating requires both parties to be receptive to each other. Its now also a psychological game we play among ourselves. When the psychological bond fails, the date fails and many will call it done instead of working past their own ideologies to gain something new.

Immediate gratification has become the driving force in many people. When that is threatened, they tend to give up in favor of finding it elsewhere with less work.

Whether it be a real meet dating or online dating.. until two people aren't true an trust worthy in sense not look's of gestures, because from outer vision anyone can fool eachother, but if your heart is pure an the person too, then no matters..
So how behave an be let's focus pn these an go positive living..
I'm not too expert in these nor experienced, because I'm to a failure... still learning an working under progess
All The Best

"

Um, there's always a reason.

Now this is so typical, I read this a lot on here, "I want what I want when I want it."
I've never experienced life that way really? Okay, certain things are faster, like email, ordering things online etc. but that's due to technology, not media.
I am not exposed much to media. I haven't watched tv in yonks. Even when with my British ex, we watched English tv. Never commercials or news.
And since 2015 I don't listen to news on the radio anymore either.
Online I'm exposed to some stuff, but not much really. And even that you can still steer a wee bit.
So I never really get the "I want what I want and I want it now" thing?

Last time I checked apparently, I had no soul or so she said , as she walked out the door . Dang , I luv honesty in a woman !!!

Sounds to me like there is more to the story. Do some self-reflecting about the things you haven't told us. Is there anything in your behavior that might have turned these women off? To get ghosted/blocked that many times seems excessive. And you're the common denominator in each incident.
