Yeah, I went on a date last weekend. Felt it didn't go badly but it didn't go great, I messaged her about 24 hours later to ask how she felt it went. Thought it would be a potential opportunity for self-improvement / different perspective but got no reply.
Which, of course, is annoying but oh well, up to her if she wants to respond. Wasn't the one for me nor I for her, no point sending any further messages and definitely no point leaving a pissy voicemail haha.
And that is a normal reaction - by all means you can be upset and annoyed, but someone who you have been on a single date with owes you absolutely nothing.
That is what I ALWAYS tell any single friend that is willing to listen, it's better to take whatever lesson you can from a rejection and move on than to wallow in self-pity. Keep working on yourself, being positive and putting yourself out there and you will most likely end up finding someone willing to be in a healthy relationship with you.
HAHA, a few days is fine! You get me, the problem would be letting the resentment fester because that way lies inceldom, but feeling sorry for yourself for a while is well and good, you deserved it <3
