People who waste your time

So the last week I've had two interactions that just completely threw me off. Actually not even sure if any of this is worth the effort anymore

How do you guys deal with being blocked out of the blue, without any explanation after chatting, exchanging numbers, photos etc?

The other one was also going great, had two meetups, loads of interaction, then I got hit with the "can you be my emotional support" question and my obvous answer was no - resulting in another abrupt end.

Granted I'm relatively green to all this, but is this normal?

Yes , sadly it's absolutely normal .

Generally people feel it's easier to block and move on than to reply with a polite " no" . And this is because many find it hard to accept no , and then want to know why ? ...

Second one also happens alot, people tend to think the lifestyle will fix what is broken or missing, and then find out it makes those things ever so slightly worse

Hang in there , there is many people here for the right reasons , you'll find them or they will find you
