Am I the problem?

    Hi, I need some sound advice around dating and relationships.

    I recently got out of my last relationship during the summer. I spent a bit of time alone and concentrating on myself but due to early thirties, I jumped back into the dating pool in recent weeks and used dating apps. Got alot of matches, went on dates, was flattered and tbh, after the way my ex treated me, it felt good. For some reason, I can’t meet anyone who means what they say and nothing is sticking.

    I’m this and I’m that according to my dates. I’m wonderful, I’m gorgeous etc according to them. I usually turn up to dates appropriately, dress for the occasion, we have fun conversation and things go well. Last two men, the chemistry was good and kissed. However, I see by date 2 and 3, the trend of “rescheduling” and cancelling dates starts. And things just fade away. I feel one guy in particular had his mind made up that I was gonna be his fall back before even getting to know me as he made it quite clear he had plenty of options and was “in demand” which I found cringe.

    Just wondering how are women navigating dating these days and getting places?

    Right now, it feels no matter what I do, I’m put into a box by men.

    Advice would be appreciated.
