Close to choosing sanyasi life

[Chandni]

I'm on an AM setup. I added him on Instagram after both our premium subscriptions ended and the numbers wouldn't go through on JS. I pinged him last Sunday with a simple "hi, hello". I even joked that I was bringing my own rishta. (My parents handle the profile but we couldn't connect with him or his family because the numbers wouldn't work, so we decided to chat first.) He replied on Monday morning - understandable, Sundays are busy. We were both at work, so he asked how my day was. I cracked a joke about Monday blues. I tried to ask about him, but got no reply. Tuesday and Wednesday were silent. On Thursday evening he sent a short "hahaa yeah true. Same for me." Nothing else. I wasn't sure how to reply, so I ignored it - it annoyed me. I thought maybe I should ask an open‑ended question, but I didn't. I just gave up on this rishta. Then today, Sunday, he pinged me: "how would you like to take this forward?" I was like, "Bhai, what's happening in the market? Can't people just talk?"

The problem isn't just one gender - it's both. Even on an AM setup I manage my profile, and people send interest on the app. When I try to start a conversation, they either say nothing or ghost me straight away, even after showing interest.

It amazes me how our whole generation of empowered, independent women still have to go through this humiliating ritual just to find a man - and the same goes for men. It's crazy that finding a partner has become so hard despite all the technology and apps.

[Harish]

He's not interested. I've dealt with that kind of disinterested person before - it just drains you. Call it off, girl, you'll find someone better!

[Bhavin]

Lol, I'm facing the same issue as a guy. I just turned 40 and I'm in the US, so maybe that's scaring a lot of people off.

It's quite common; there are many confused people out there and several reasons for it. When I get such late replies I just move on - if they come back later, I don't feel the need to respond. Or, yeah, the sanyasi life is a good option too. I know a few good organisations, let me know if you want to join.

Hahaha, same! Ladko ko baat karna hi nahi aa raha. Insta mein add karte hi inki bolti bandh. I just assumed maybe they think I'm too sexy for them and feel insecure. Later I just block them.

Why not ask him directly - "Hey, I understand you might be busy with work and life, but I feel the responses are really slow. Please let me know your thoughts." Sometimes people genuinely have stuff going on, but it doesn't look like that here. If he values this alliance, he'll step up and give a proper reason for the ghosting. Otherwise assume he's not interested or keeping you as a backup. Either way, it's not worth continuing. Move on - I've faced this many times when I was looking for a marriage prospect.

Main mast baat karta hun, yaar. Mujhe request bhejo.

I seriously want to leave society and renounce this life. If I didn't have parents, I would have genuinely tried to become a sanyasi. It would have been tough, but not as tough as finding a good wife.
