I sometimes feel as if there is something about me that women don’t like. A week ago, I met someone for a date after we matched on a dating app. We had a great time and decided to meet again. I waited for two days and then texted her, but there has been no response. I don’t want to keep texting because it makes me sound desperate, but I also would like to know if I have said or done something to offend this person. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened to me, which is why I am beginning to doubt myself a little. How do I fix this?
Sometimes, people ghost other people for no apparent reason. This may happen time and again, but you have to be confident about who you are and how you are treating other people. If you are respectful, kind, and well-mannered, you should have nothing to doubt yourself for. Confidence has to come from within because if you allow the behaviour of other people to define who you are, there will always be unanswered questions. There may be valid reasons for this person not responding but, after a point, you should just blame it on bad manners and use that information because it says something about her rather than yourself. Keep meeting new people, respect boundaries, and wait until you find someone who appreciates you for who you are.

Should I be with someone who almost ruined my life just because I love her? I want her back, but I know this could destroy me. Is it a gamble worth taking?
You have to weigh the pros and cons of what this means, because you alone are in a position to gauge what you stand to lose. Ask yourself why this didn’t work out the first time and list what you think is different a second time around. Clarity may take time, but it comes when you can look beyond your feelings and be honest with yourself.
