Is it as many people describe? Do you have an easy or difficult time with it?

      Had a few attempts at it myself, didn’t end very well. It’s a painful experience, and it lingers too. You usually never get texts first, and that’s simply because in order for that to happen, you gotta stand out from a huge crowd of guys. It forces you to roll the dice yourself and initiate, which is terrifying.

          It hurts bad, and for a very long too. it’s a feeling I find quite difficult to describe, like a nauseous feeling, the worst I had ever felt was before high school ended for me and I managed to bomb a perfectly fine platonic relationship. The regret afterward lingered for years and years. I had lost the confidence to attempt again.

      Definitely one of several reasons I’ve stayed away from the apps is to maintain self esteem. I’m not sure how well I’d handle rejection on a massive scale
