I Am Single

I'm recently back on the dating scene after a nasty divorce and I gotta ask.
WTF!?
Literally, why is dating so awful? Why can't anyone just be honest. I've never had a problem with be straightforward and telling someone if I wasn't interested.
The few people I've tried with have been... well...
1. First date was great. Second he Got wasted before he showed up and cracked his face open on my tile then had the audacity to ghost me after I cleaned up his blood and he had spent the last several weeks telling me how much he liked me.
2. Kept sending me provocative photos and telling me things like "my tongue is liberating" and general sexy talk. Then I decided to reciprocate one time and all of a sudden I was the hoe moving too fast and he wasn't ready for a physical relationship. All I said was "I'd like to be making out right about now too."
3. Someone I ran into from high school. Everything seemed to be going ok and then I got a message from his wife two states over that I didn't know about. Didnt even know he didn't lived here anymore. Apparently he was just in town to care for an elderly relative.
4. Dude that wants to talk to me constantly over text but if I ask to hang out he just doesn't write me back and then the next day pretends like he fell asleep and resumes the texting. We hung out once and he said he had a great time. But completely dodges hanging out again, I quit the texting for obvious reasons of not wanting to be led on.

Sounds like you have met almost the full collection of zeros. Dating is a necessary evil. I sometimes just step back and go "why"? But then you get lonely--horny---in need of companionship and you open up again. Kind of an endless circle. I can relate.
