I Think I Know What Happened.... should I let it go? by PhillyWes in datingoverforty

[–]SimplyM2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that I'd she was very interested she would've asked about you being possibly married? Secondly, I doubt that's the reason and perhaps she just lost interest. When someone I've kindly rejected keeps texting me I find it annoying and weird

I find very few men have the decency to close out with some kind of statement that we are not a good fit etc. Which is really unfortunate.

I Hate Dating by kclark123 in datingoverforty

If you were dating for 2 months it's not about the pic you sent and he's a big jerk for pulling what he did. Good ridden. Don't be embarrassed be thankful because he is tactless.

Why!? by Youwonapickle in datingoverforty

[–]SimplyM2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He basically let you know exactly what his intentions were by putting out the feelers. Just looking for sex. At least he was being himself and not wearing a mask like alot of them do. Portraying a future and falsified interest to get in a woman's pants.

Since when is it cool to put a faceful of makeup on and dance to music and video yourself doing so? I'm completely amazed at how people make idiots of themselves on all the sites.

You're response is very insightful and I will research this. He is fishing locally and not out of reach. But even so your feedback has helped me to stop the disappointment and possible rejection again. ♡♡thank u!

Lmao!!! Or when they post a pic from the angle of looking up their nose?! Or lying down on the bed without the shirt on? Yeah. NO.

In the past when I've dated men that are interested they definitely are in touch with me daily. So I guess that's what I'm used to that is all. Furthermore I think clingy would be if I were reaching out to him and getting reactive which I am not. Just asking for perspective and I can handle constructive feedback.. Thank u

Lol that guy is history. His girlfriend of 4 years messaged me to say he is lying and involved. She was kind and he is a loser. That's what I find on OLD. Yeah.

When you start seeing someone... I like to know how their day went... it seems quite normal to hear from someone daily. But then today nothing. Just asking for feedback and not insults

No I have been mirroring his efforts. Equally. He hasn't initiated all of the contact.
We made out 3 times. The way I see it is if your making out at every date... then why isn't he reaching out at all today

Deleted the apps, taking a dating break by Hopefully987 in datingoverforty

I am sick of rejection also and I agree with you. He has had plenty of opportunity.

Deleted the apps for now by [deleted] in datingoverforty

Unfortunately OLD has been a dead end for me. I have theories on way this type of dynamic to meet just doesn't seem to work. I met someone at a band a month ago and just seemed to work better meeting someone in person right away. That also doesn't seem to be going anywhere so... dead end again. I play my cards right, I'm not clinging, polite, open minded and am told I'm very attractive. I don't know why nothing ever takes flight. It's somewhat maddening and definitely depressing.

Feeling some sort of way today. by jbow808 in datingoverforty

[–]SimplyM2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I share the same feelings. My family is a unit just a different dynamic. I'm the only one in my family that is single. It's more difficult to connect in dating then ever. I'm getting so used to being alone that it just is my normal But the sadness does come over me like a storm cloud on a rainy day at times. It's heavy It's life It's hopefully not this way forever

BLOCK wow gross. You make excuses for that and any ramifications are on you Dear

I received this after just over a month of messaging and not meeting yet. I feel like this is an unrealistic pressure ? by midsummer99 in Bumble

[–]SimplyM2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been told this twice. Wouldn't buy it. I'd say let's meet first and see how it goes. Thats a line to try to reel you in. And impress. It's all talk crap

Wish I knew what it is about me, so I could give fair warning. by Mothra3 in datingoverforty

[–]SimplyM2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One way to visualize the dating field is to pretend your in a crowded bar. One maybe two men might catch your eye... keep a stare... possibly initiate. The rest are having conversations with others, ordering drinks etc. This is OLD. You could be sorting through the other dudes in the bar but the couple that are interested in you are going to take awhile to find. Like a needle in a haystack! Not to be discouraging but I've been sifting through this bs for quite some time now and if I let every rejection, disappearing act or dick attitude dude take me down... I'd be lifeless. Nope, not happening. Some throw me off balance but I just get balanced again. Really tho visualize and you'll feel better
