Feeling bored and frustrated with life, I decided to download a dating app out of curiosity.

I met a guy who was planning to attend my college but changed his mind and lived in a different city within the same state. He was attractive—though not remarkably so—and quite tall.

We chatted through the night, and he soon suggested going on a date. It felt rushed since we had just met, but I agreed.

Our date took place at a park far from my home, which made me anxious during the Uber ride, as I couldn’t shake off the worry that something might go wrong. When I arrived, the park was beautiful, and we spent time admiring the lake. However, I found it difficult to maintain eye contact and speak freely, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Things unexpectedly escalated, and we shared a kiss, followed by becoming intimate in a secluded area of the woods.

I felt disheartened afterward; I had imagined a romantic picnic and a chance to connect, but it went differently.

When I got home, I reached out to him, but I quickly noticed his responses were different—less engaged. Eventually, he admitted he wasn’t ready for a relationship, leaving me feeling disappointed and upset with myself for how things turned out.

Thankfully, he moved to another school, which spared me the embarrassment of seeing him again. I don’t know the exact reason he transferred, but it was a relief.
