Dating Question

I haven't had much luck with online dating. I've found the rejection quite difficult to take after a few men have dumped me after about a month of dating just when I was beginning to really like them.

I met someone recently. We went on a date and got on well. There was talk of meeting again but then he ghosted me. I was really disappointed as it's rare that I meet someone I like.

Soon after I told myself to get back out there. I started chatting to someone new and then realised I needed to take some time out from dating and told him this. I had a bit of a wobble thinking "not sure I can do this again". This probably sounds pathetic but online dating can be soul destroying and I'm not as confident as I pretend to be.

It's been a few weeks now and I am ready to date again. I'm wondering whether to contact the guy I was chatting to (not the one who ghosted me) or would that look weird or nuts?

I worked in online dating for years. It wouldn't be at all weird for you to message him. Keep it light though, just ask if he fancies a coffee or dinner or whatever.

Worst case he will just say no or ignore you. Can you handle that?

Yes I could
