Sigh.. Dating apps are exhausting..

I know that finding a partner is a numbers game and that you have to just get out there and try but even though I’ve tried joining a club and finding new hobbies in hopes of meeting and connecting with new people, nothing has come of it thus far. Because of that and also living in a rural area in Germany, I end up using dating apps on and off… When I match with someone, they don‘t ever want to start the conversation and I end up texting first. But most girls don‘t write anything in their bio, don‘t add any info about themselves and their pictures also have nothing to start a conversation with. So even after thinking long and hard about how to start the conversation and texting them first, I still end up being ghosted. Enlighten me - why are they even on dating apps in the first place AND matching me when they are not interested in at least a conversation?

I‘m just too exhausted and to be honest also frustrated from trying and will just make my peace with not finding a partner.. But it still hurts..

How are you guys dealing with it? How did you find your partner?
