So, I have been on dating sites recently and I have met a few guys, but they have been jerks towards me. I just got out of a bad unhappy relationship like a month ago (yes, I have posted about it so some of you may remember) and now I'm just looking for new people to get to know as friends. I have hopes that it will pontentially develop into a relationship with the right person though. I am starting to become very discouraged and I believe that maybe something is wrong with me. Maybe I am just not as good with people as I thought. I don't know if i should just give up on looking or continue to meet people from dating sites. I can't seem to meet anyone in real life cuz I'm not good at walking up to someone I don't know and starting a conversation.

The 2 guys that I met from the dating sites seemed nice when I met them and I thought it went pretty well, but then after we met they stopped contacting me altogether. It wasn't like I bugged them and sent a bunch of emails or texts either. I just sent like 1 text in a day which was ignored. Before the 2nd guy and I met, we were talking all the time though like hours into the night so I thought we had a connection for sure. Then when we met, he dropped the bomb on me that he has a son. After that I became disinterested in dating him, but I still wanted to be friends since we have a lot in common. The really messed up thing is we made plans to hang out again at the end of the meeting. They both acted like they were interested and then they just stopped talking to me. I think that this is a pretty common thing unfortunately, but I haven't experienced it too much before. I wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this before and what your thoughts are on the matter? I think that if they didn't like me then they shouldn't have led me on and they should have just told me the truth. I would have taken that much better. I'm just looking for some input. Guys can respond to this as well. Both perspectives would help. Thanks.
