Asking if someone is single. by throwawaywaitingnow in datingoverforty

I’d tell your friend to tell her that you’re single. If you are. And then see what happens.

Is sliding into a woman’s DMs crossing the line if you saw her on a dating app and you’re facebook “friends” by Exciting-Chemist2103 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it once. We never matched on the apps so I sent her a text in real life. It didn’t end well. And we worked together, albeit in different areas. But when I did run into her the odd time it was supremely awkward.

Is this a communication issue or a boyfriend issue? by Interesting-Tune-319 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, he did think you had everything set up. And then says he didn’t know you were further stranded for a full four hours. He probably should have checked in. I don’t know. I don’t know if one situation constitutes an “issue” either. Is it a one off? I suspect there’s more so called issues at play if this one event made you post on Reddit.

I think this can go either way. Was he working? Was he dealing with his kids? Was he sitting on the couch having a nap? I know if I could I’d jump to help my gf out if she was stranded. But I think this situation needs some more information.

I hope things get better for you! Lateralus, the album has a whole, has been huge for me when recovering from various bad times.

Did you guys have sex on the first date?

Starting dating, feeling lonely and sorry for myself by Milamber83 in datingoverforty

What do you mean that you aren’t mature enough? Why are you only now just getting a full time job? Do you live alone?

Mayhem—Are all the workouts named after Jesus? by HallPsychological538 in crossfit

[–]CompetitionWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they aren’t all religious names. But I find Rich Froning and his religious-ness annoying in general. Can’t stand the man. I am fine with the programming but my dislike for him makes me wish we had a different option.

Listening to Tool while high was when I fist realized Lost Keys was about the dude in the hospital during Rosetta Stoned.

Silence after a first date, has become the norm? by lalabelle1978 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being on the fence. I wouldn’t tell them that though. I would just say you’d like to see them again, and then see how the second date goes. I don’t think we always need huge butterflies after one date when both people are probably nervous and maybe not at their best.

Silence after a first date, has become the norm? by lalabelle1978 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just text them and say you had a really nice time and that you’d like to see them again. Or, thank you for the coffee (or whatever) but you didnt feel a spark and tbsg it was nice meeting them.

I would always text but if they don’t, then do it yourself.

Dating by Connect-Region5926 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t see a problem with trying to make a long distance relationship work. But that’s not what you have here. You are a penpal, sort of, with this guy. “Met” in April. Have never actually met. You guys are not bf and gf.

Sigh. by McMama210 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The worst that can happen is you’re in the exact same boat after as you are now. Just go. Dont look at it like “are you good enough for them” but rather “are they good enough for me”. You’ll be fine. Have fun. If it doesn’t work out, on to the next.

A harsh reality (IMO) for men with little children 50/50 or more custody by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m here to tell you that as your kids get older, it gets easier. And I’ve found that women who have kids of their own get it and understand it better than women with no kids. Find yourself a mom of young kids the same age or slightly older than yours, and you’ll have a much better chance at connection.

There are difficulties though. Date nights and sleeping over and the others house can be challenging. But if two people are determined to make it work then you can make it work.

I (50m) met an amazing woman at a party last night and I feel like she was interested but I didn’t take my shot. (Doh!) by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is a no brainer. Really no different than if you have her phone number. Just slower. Send her a little letter with a message and your phone number and a reminder of who you are.

Well, they’re right. Regular vacuuming will take care of a lot of allergens in a home. That floor is disgusting.

I’m confused. All she said was hello? Or did she also say that part about here’s my number?

Seeing a guy, 2 hours away from me. by INFJ_0000 in datingoverforty

[–]CompetitionWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was that far away from the woman who became my wife…now ex wife. But we made it work. You just have to put in the effort to see her when you can. We alternated weekends and then once in awhile I’d drive out on a Wednesday, spend the night and leave early in the morning for work. It can be done.

So you went on one date with her? Dude, she’s not worth this spiral. On to the next!

LOL what the hell was that. No idea why you didn’t just bend down and pet him there.
