I think it's a general issue with dating apps, I always hear people talk about getting ghosted on there. Sometimes even on a date itself, they are at the restaurant and no one shows up. It's really messed up, it's like using a dating app creates such a distance from a real person that it feels like you can do whatever you want and not have to feel bad.

My current partner told me after we'd been dating for a few months that she almost flaked on me for our first date. This date was my first and only match I had on that dating app in an entire month. For her, it seemed like an easy thing to do. For me, it would have destroyed my confidence if the one match I got flaked on me. We're both glad she didn't because we're still together after more than 6 years but it really shows you how different people think.

I deleted the same post from memes because they all told me people owe me nothing, that the conversation must have not been that interesting... I think lesbians understand that better in the dating world. I am glad your relationship took off and passed the test of the dating app !
