I got depressed over a Tinder girl I barely spoke to.

Guys, I’m fucked. I don’t know if this is the right sub to post this, but I need to tell this to someone. Why do I feel so terrible?

Anyway, I matched with this incredibly beautiful girl on Tinder last week. She is a 10/10 not only looks wise, but she seemed like a really nice, smart and genuine person. The moment I matched with her I couldn’t believe such beautiful girl found me attractive enough to swipe right on Tinder (considering the whole premise of the app and how it works).

Now I know very well what Tinder is and how it works and that I should’ve not expected anything and should’ve not had my hopes up, because it’s Tinder and I thought I would be fine. I of course messaged her, not expecting anything, but still hoping she would respond. And she did.

The next day I was so happy when I saw her play along and reply to my sarcastic, playful opening message. At this point I knew I was going into a dangerous territory because I started getting my hopes up. For a moment, I was naïve enough to believe this could actually lead somewhere. Not only that, but I was also stupid enough to start fantasising about how we could be together and how I could actually be with a person I needed so long in my life. I couldn’t stop thinking about her and in the span of mere two days, I imagined months of our potential relationship in my head. I knew it wasn’t healthy and I couldn’t believe myself how I could get attached to someone I didn’t even know. This never really happened to me before. At least not this bad.

Eventually she just stopped replying after I told her to text me so it would be easier to talk. Now I’m just miserable and depressed, thinking of all that could have been and how I will probably not be able to find someone like her (which is stupid, since I don’t even know what her personality is like). Sometimes I actually feel like I’ll be alone for the rest of my life and that feeling fucking sucks I’ll tell you that.

Anyway, I feel like I rambled enough and if you read all of this, I appreciate that you took time to do that. I don’t know if this is normal, it probably isn’t, but I hope that at least I’m not the only person who went through this.

Thank you.
