Currently Playing: I Feel Humiliated Every Time I Try To Date

I feel humiliated every time I try to date. I put together the best six photos of my life, put myself up to be rated by strangers, and somehow I'm still the one who ends up feeling judged. They want the one perfect photo that captures your whole essence. I don't have that. Nobody does. We're all just regular people, and the app wants a highlight reel. Then someone scrolls past it in half a second and decides. Then there's the ghosting. A conversation is going fine and then it just stops. No reason. No closure. You just stop existing to them, and you never get to know what happened. It happens enough times that you start expecting it before it even happens. And I'll be honest, I do the same thing everyone else does. I pick my best angle too. So I show up, they show up, and neither of us is quite who showed up online. The first ten minutes of any date is quietly figuring out who you're actually sitting across from. Then you're supposed to plan this whole night, pay for it, perform through it, and you're still the one being scrutinized the entire time. For someone who might not even want to be there. And then it's back to zero. Every match is a stranger. No history, no shortcuts, nothing carries over. Start again. What's the most humiliating part of dating been for you?
