The Magnificent or Miserable Monday Megathread

Met someone from Hinge six months ago, and per his suggestion, went into a relationship very quickly. I was new to the whole dating scene (since I had spent my entire life in one long relationship) and in hindsight should have probably met more people in parallel. I was trying to be "fully present" in this relationship that's why I went with the idea and paused my profile immediately (I don't think he paused it rather just deleted the app). There were many times where we were just sitting around "relaxing" and I was all ears and ready for deep connection and conversations. He however was never emotionally (or physically) available and did not tell me anything was wrong. I was out here trying to "date" and have mutual experiences, but many plans and promises were cancelled because of him being either tired or having a tough work schedule. We were finally planning on going on a date this week but instead he said he wanted to break up because there's been no connection and he's not interested anymore, and that I can't be upset at how his job schedule is. Six months ago I was this super optimistic, energetic person who was excited to meet men, and now I feel so empty and disappointed at what I'm seeing on a lot of the profiles out there again, knowing this was my experience. I'm getting the vibe that a lot of people on there have a profile just for the sake of having one sitting around, and are not actively and genuinely excited to put effort into a relationship or even want one.
