Is it me?! Am I putting them off?

I've had 3 dates in the last year. All seemed to go quite well at the time, wasn't an awful lot of us to do so in all three cases we just went for a nice walk and talked.

Got on well with all of them, conversation flowed nicely, no awkwardness. No kisses but we hugged at the end of each date and all seemed good.

Man 1: Very short and basic communication after the date, then a text a few days later saying he didn't want to see me again.

Man 2: One reply post date then completely disappeared off the dating site and never heard from him again.

Man 3: Couple of messages but definitely different sort of 'vibe' from before date messages. Hasn't read my last message (sent yesterday).

What's going on?! Is there something wrong with me that's putting them off in person? I understand that not everyone is compatible and they just might not have fancied me, which is Completely fair enough. But 3 in a row!

Maybe I'm just overthinking everything but I'm just super sad now 😞

You could try using a natural/out for a walk photo on the dating site and see if that makes any difference.

No this is pretty much dating now.
After the first lock down I started OLD, 9 men over the course of 3 months. Dates ranged from video call, walks and a couple pub gardens. Most of them I didn’t feel any chemistry. Three I did but they decided no
Number 9 though, chemistry, spark and still together 6 months on
It really is a game of numbers. With each bad date or let down just brush yourself off and move on to the next

I have similar experience and dated a little bit more than you (7 dates in the last 3 months)? I live abroad where we have less restrictions and had variaty of dates: coffee, dinner, drinks. None of the dates led to anything - some guys went quiet on me but for someone I just felt that they were not right. I try not to take it personally, it is just not the right match. I am also trying to look at it in a positive way - the more men I meet, the better idea I get of what I am actually looking for and what will be a deal breaker for me.

You have only been on 3 dates, that's really not much. If finding a new partner was that easy then noone would be single 😉 try not too get discourage, just enjoy meeting new people. Have fun :-)
