I was dumped after three dates. When will it be my turn to have a boyfriend?

Single at 29 , earlier this year Ryan Spencer took to TikTok, and in a brilliantly unfiltered rant, summed up how frustrating it can be to want love but be continually knocked down in your search. A short while after this post went swept social media, followers shared her hope that her fortunes had turned around when she began was set up with a friend of a friend – known as ‘Ohio Man’ – and they began dating . The couple were long distance , so talked for two months before meeting, then went on three dates – one of which was to a wedding where Ohio Man had asked her to be his plus-one.

It all sounded like it was going well but, in what seems like a familiar turn of events for many singles, things then went south as soon as Ryan tried to have a conversation about what was next in their relationship. ‘Anytime I’ve had to have a real conversation with a guy about feelings, it doesn’t go well,’ she said, close to tears in a recent video. ‘I realised I needed to be the one to make a move because he wasn’t going to.

’ I ended up sending him a really long text...

he called me this morning in response to that text and told me when he closes his eyes and looks at the future, he doesn’t see me as his person.’ Ryan said it ‘definitely hurt’ – especially since Ohio Man hit her with the ‘you’re amazing but I need to work on myself’ spiel she feels is often used as a ‘cop out’. And many of us who have been in the trenches dating will agree.
