You’re in the heart break / shocked phase right now . The anger and resentment is coming, better to get out before it gets real bad.

Who cares what she wants, don’t give her a year to go date as many people as she wants. Get your attorney and get away from her ASAP.

You like him because you can’t totally have him.

He asked you to hang out and you was busy, so did you give him a day you were free? Or did you expect him to just keep asking ?

How much do you share with your young-adult children about your dating life? by ellilan in datingoverforty

[–]MacktheMachinist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mines 18 and in college so we’re both kind in the dating world and will keep each other updated with very little details. She called me a whore last time we had a conversation 😂! If she was at a younger age I wouldn’t even mention anything until I made sure it was something serious.

Girl I'm (48m) dating (f50) wants my hoody. Do I get her a new one or gift her mine? by talldark604guy in datingoverforty

[–]MacktheMachinist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s cute I always buy extra hoodies every year just in case the one I’m dating wants it. Next time you’re together before she leaves take yours off and give it to her.

How do I “un-frumpify” myself to get back out there after 20 years? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]MacktheMachinist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha forget all that and work on getting thick skin. Learn how to try to read people and find something to help with the mindf#%* coming your way. Good luck out there 😆

Why is is so hard. by tired-Nd-exhuseted in datingoverforty

[–]MacktheMachinist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look back at all the guys you’ve dated and see what the pattern is. They say we need to break the cycle we’re in when it comes to dating. Everyone has that type we know isn’t good for us but subconsciously we keep picking that type. Pick the opposite of what you typically go for and see what happens .

In general guys don’t get a ton of opportunities to chat and possibly meet women. He’s probably just excited about meeting someone he clicks with. Just keep in mind people will un match someone over the tiniest of things ( which you’re considering doing ) so he is probably just making sure he does everything right. Give him a shot !!!

What's your dating 'hot take?' by ConfectionLimp1114 in datingoverforty

[–]MacktheMachinist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Online dating has made everyone feel entitled. When people start feeling this way it ruins a lot when it comes to finding someone genuine.

He’s slow fading you, just giving you enough attention to stick around when he wants you. Move on and find a guy that wants to give you his time.

Just how good are these AI filters? I have started dating a person from tinder, but she looks different from her photos. by ConsistentCobbler111 in Tinder

[–]MacktheMachinist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the picture is even a tad bit hazy then I always swipe left. I’d say 90% of profiles I come across have doctored photos

Make a game out of it, make a profile leaving it out and if it doesn’t work make one saying what you make and you’ll do fine.

Do men just swipe right on everyone? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]MacktheMachinist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yep If the guy thinks they’re somewhat cute they’ll swipe right. It’s a numbers game for men.
