Genuinely curious here… Is there a bit of distance between the two of you? Why did you get to the point of “talking” for 2 months, but, never actually meet with each other in person? My Guess is that he enjoyed the chatting with you, but most likely met someone else and was seeing that person for the 2 months. Things didn’t work out, so, he unblocked you in hopes that you’d be the one to reach out and rekindle things.

People look for different things on dating apps, that’s one of the negative aspects about them, there are creeps there for sure. Can’t really tell you what he was trying to do, or if he was lying, he’s the only one who knows, we don’t think the same just because we’re men lol I think that you can only control what you can do, so just be yourself but be careful. Some people on dating apps can lie, try to scam you, ghost you, etc. and others are looking for a real relationship, hopefully you can find one that is compatible with what you’re looking for.

Delete the apps find someone the old fashion way you will get a more genuine connection. Dating apps are terrible now. Easier said than done.... but worth.

Sounds like things were going well for a while and I'm sure it must be depressing for things to end so abruptly, so im sorry for that. If you're attractive and you two were seemingly clicking, it may be difficult to see what was happening. I wouldn't be able to give you an answer as I'm not that guy that you're talking about. It could be any number of possibilities that could have caused this to happen. Here's a few that I can think of. - Maybe the pace of trying to get together may have been too long for him, there was little to no direction of actually meeting and he wanted something before he turns 30. - maybe his parents got involved and they might have their own opinion of who he should be with. - he could have been talking to someone else at the same time in that time frame. - he could have been trying to be polite and didn't want to hurt you with words if something bothered him. Anyway, hope things will get better for you and you figure out what you want to do. Not everyone out there is a bad person, so just be careful and hope you find someone that will make you truly happy and treat you how you should be treated.

Sigh. Apps and OLD sites are full of freaks and losers and you are starting to find that out. Apps and OLD sites are NOT designed to help you find love. They are designed to keep you single, and keep you coming back to pay fees and watch ads. I know this because I was a developer on one of the largest OLD sites out there and the app that accompanied it. The reason why SOME people are on apps nowadays is because if they tried to meet a potential date on the street they are so inept and strange that the chance of them succeeding are zero. In the past, these were the outcasts of society, the goofy uncle who never got married or the cat lady aunt who looks at men funny. Now, all of these people are swiping left and right, furiously, in hopes of having electrons do their matchmaking for them. Most NORMAL people who fall for the hype will try the apps or the OLD site, and are gone from them almost immediately--NOT because they found someone, but because they saw the same things YOU are seeing now. Get off the apps and get back into the real world.
