Was blocked before going on our first date.

Just Venting 😮‍💨

I’m 35M and honestly just the oddest situation I’ve been a part of. After a break from dating apps because the toll it takes on mental health I got back on and rematches with someone who had also been taking a break. We started getting to know each other and really hit it off, sending long messages to each other for a week before we started to FaceTime. Our FaceTime sessions were always hours long and we both expressed feeling a great connection so naturally we planned some dates. She shared her work schedule with me and asked if I was flexible enough to work around it. Of course I was. We made plans for Friday night, but she got caught up at work and asked to reschedule for the other day. She expressed how bad she felt about it and assured me she wanted to meet. I mean our conversations led me to believe we were on the same page with almost everything. It felt so nice to have this sort of connection and the prospect of mutual affection. Anyway, the next day we planned on meeting and set a time. She texted me all day at work, everything normal. Then, nothing, which wasn’t like her. We both expressed appreciation for how the other person communicated. She was sending me pics of her all day expressing how excited she was. She kept saying how lucky she was to have found someone like me. I sent a text asking if we were still on and it didn’t show she read it so I attempted to call her. Straight to voicemail. I thought to myself surely she wouldn’t have blocked me. But I called her from another line and the phone rang confirming my suspicion… so here we are, I’m still lonely, I feel lost, betrayed… I know I didn’t know her well enough, I just don’t understand how someone can express such interest and tell me the things she told me just to block me without a word at all… I am very sad, and thought maybe I caught a break at one area of my life. Instead I feel lonelier than ever. What to do now?
