Welcome to dating, Sopeabdul! And welcome to heartbreak, non-starters, frustration, beginnings, endings, joy, fear, pain, and love too. That's what dating is all about. Anyone who's in a relationship or married, had to do it.

I'm sorry to tell you there are no promises or guarantees, it's all what you put into it, and timing counts too. If you can't handle rejection, don't date. If the apps are getting you nowhere, quit. But if you want love, companionship, partnership, or just a warm body, you're going to make the effort and possibly suffer the consequences of not getting it.

This applies to women too. They don't get a free pass. Everyone needs to be kind, understanding, and show some appreciation.

Sending you all the best, I hope you don't give up.
