Nice chats aren't always positive

[Mayank]

So I met a girl last weekend; she looked quite different from her photos, but over the phone she seemed nice. Our personalities clicked and I didn't want to hurt her by being abrupt, so we kept chatting. She was pleasant, and I'm sure we could've been good friends if it weren't for AM. But I had already rejected her at the start. I don't get why some girls mislead about looks and waste both their time and ours.

A few weeks later I found myself on the other side. In about an hour, her expression showed she'd already rejected me in her mind, yet she kept the conversation going.

So folks, this is what happens when you wonder why you got rejected even though the chat felt good. Most of the time it's about looks or some major deal‑breaker, even if they're enjoying the talk or pretending because they're nice and don't want to hurt you.

Unconsciously, looks play a big role; inner beauty and vibe are just a cover. People want the best for themselves, so nowadays even a day before marriage they might find someone they think is better and say you're out.

If you'd already turned her down earlier, why did you agree to meet her now?

It's not always just about looks; it also depends on how familiar the person feels. If someone is a total stranger in terms of personality, career, family, etc., looks matter but are very subjective. In the South the criteria differ from the North. I think if someone judges only on looks they've had limited exposure, because other things count too—maturity, kindness, grooming, problem‑solving skills.

I agree. I was talking to a girl yesterday; we had a nice 1‑hour call that felt positive. But today she isn't responding to any of my messages.
