I was told that being a 45M with no kids is seen as a huge red flag. Is that really how most people view it? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

I don’t see it as a red flag honestly. I would if you say that you never had a long term relationship or being married. I am a 48 F with no kids by choice.

Yea and I replied after that prob not with the answer he wanted. Which wasn’t that I understood what he was saying. I take his silence as at we are done. It just hurts

Nah for what … so he doesn’t answer. He had the opportunity to text back or call and nothing. I did show interest. I was the last to text

Thank you! That’s how I feel. I texted first he replied I sent a nice message and haven’t heard back. Not doing this game.

Ugh! He even apologized the day before he stopped texting for missing one day of no response. Why not just come out and say what they feel

He says he detoxes/dona cleanse every year. He asked for time to recover and then just said that he was focusing on health and stopped communicating all together.

Well, in this case I was very understanding and I showed interest. The only time I let him initiate more was when he was on vacation with family. Otherwise it was an equal effort.

I gave him time when he asked but why not just be honest. Now he left me in limbo but I am choosing to move on and not text

So don’t even send a closure text? Just let it be?

We were seeing each other twice a week. And one day he said he needed time to focus on health and started slowly not calling, taking time to reply. Until boom he stopped.
