Tbh they might be able to tell someone (like a mutual friend) what appealed to them about you so you can play to your strengths.Three of them I met on dating apps. The fourth was kind of a fringe member of a friend group I was in when I was in my early and mid-20s. She would sometimes play beach volleyball with us. She was great and super cute. I am amazed she agreed to go out with me. But she did.it was a lovely date.
Sometimes it's not that dates wouldn't have been interested in the real you, it's that they don't know the right stuff about you to know that they like the real you.
I think there's a real risk of that happening repeatedly.
