Even though it was a great first date, he was hiding the fact he was disappointed by what he saw.

He didn’t mention it during the date so as not to be impolite, but this disappointment stirred within him throughout the first date.

If you initially connected or matched with this guy on a dating app or social media, he already had a very set expectation of what he thought you looked like physically.

When you showed up on the first date looking physically different from what he was expecting, he was disappointed inside.

He went ahead with the date anyway and showed you a great time, but deep down, he already knew that he had no intention of asking you out on a second date or continuing to communicate with you.

Think about the photos you are using on the dating app or social media platform you met this guy on.

Is there something deceptive or misleading about them?

The most common complaints are that the person who showed up on the first date was heavier, older, or shorter than they portrayed themselves to be on their online platform.

If you showed up on the first date looking considerably different from what your online photos look like, this is why he ghosted you.

A guy who already has a specific physical type he is attracted to won’t sway from that.

It doesn’t matter that you spent weeks connecting with him through text or verbal conversations on a dating app or social media.

It’s disingenuous to use misleading photos on an online platform.

Unfortunately, a dynamic personality won’t have much sway on a guy who already has a physical type he is attracted to, which you aren’t.

He has to be attracted to what he sees.

If you don’t change those photos to make them more accurate to what you actually look like, you are sure to keep running into the same predicament of men ghosting you after meeting you in person and realizing that your actual appearance doesn’t match with those photos.

Obsessively using filters on your photos or purposely hiding your true figure by posting photos of yourself at a distance, amid a bunch of people, or behind objects is all misleading.

When a guy meets you in person on a first date, he is bound to be disappointed by what he sees, especially when he thought he was about to meet a woman of a certain age and body type as was portrayed on the online platform he initially saw her on.

On the other hand, if you are a physically attractive woman whose online photos are representative of what you actually look like, he ghosted you because he has since fielded a ton of other offers from more physically attractive women who want to meet him in person.

In the age of social media and dating apps, attractive guys have an endless supply of women who are vying to meet them in person on a date.

Since women tend to go for the best-looking guys on online platforms who fall in the top 5% to 15% of guys, there is no incentive for any of these guys to settle with any one girl.

They play the field.

He thought you were physically attractive and wanted to meet you for said reason.

But since the first date, he has already been inundated by a bevy of women who have swiped right on his dating profile or sent him DMs on social media.

Some of these women are better looking than you, and at the moment, he is distracted talking to these girls and setting up dates with them.

Since he had a great first date with you, you aren’t completely off of his radar.

In a few weeks, he might try to reconnect with you if he gets bored.

Sadly, this would only be to get some entertainment and attention from you.

He is bound to ghost you again should a new batch of likes and DMS come his way filled with women who are more physically attractive than you.
