Why did he ghost me after our awkward date?

Author

The other day I went out with this new guy, the date was fine till it turned awkward and bad. I said to end things when he asked because I was stressed and socially exhausted. I got removed on every socials immediately after. Is it too late to reach back out, his friend said I should give it another shot. It has been a week too.

i'd send one honest message and leave it there. something simple like, "i was socially drained that day and i think i handled it badly." after that, the rest is up to him.

i've done something really similar. i ended things too quickly because i was overwhelmed, then realized later i actually just needed to go home and breathe.

what made you want to end it in the moment? was it really about him, or do you think you just hit your limit that day?

Someone who doesn’t make you feel safe enough to be on a date when you’re going through it and deletes you so easily is not worth reaching out to. Honestly. Focus on yourself and getting yourself to a better space where you can meet people who doesn’t just delete you because you’re going through a difficult time.
