So, you went on a date, thought it went well, and then... nothing. No second date. Maybe they politely declined. Maybe they ghosted. Or maybe you got unmatched after expressing interest. Whether it was a soft no, a hard no, or radio silence, it still stings.

While dating can be exciting and full of possibility, I’ve also felt like it was an endless, hopeless job search — thrilling at times, but exhausting if you're not careful.
