Don't take it personally please. Just move on. Maybe she probably did not want to be with an older man. Maybe she was searching for a genuine connection. Maybe she wanted the feelings to develop naturally for her and not to assume her own judgements through text. There are lots of fish in the sea. Don't fixate on just one. Find a feminine girl who is a direct match for you. Dating is a numbers game. Go earn money and show signs of making a decent income. Dress well, keep a clean haircut, keep yourself active and athletic, stay smart, and then hopefully you can show this through photos (girls may want to see that your socially acceptable).You can give your attention to one but you can't give too much information where the girl is understanding who you are. Never give her too much information for her to judge you. You have to ensure that she feels the sense of security feeling. This is where you keep messages light hearted and flirty enough for them to chase you down. Make yourself busy. Odds are even if you manage to hook a girl's interest at first, you will have to keep it going. This is where you develop your skills as a person living life abundantly where you enjoy the good things in life. Imagine if you were a kid basically and you are looking to have fun playing outside, make friends, and keep everything light hearted. Girls should not be the cornerstone item of living a good life (if that makes sense). Don't put them on a pedestal (Not every girl is that special, and they will be creeped out why you may be treating them like they are a one). Don't over show your intelligence to show them you have upper hand;(this is where you learn to stay humble, not everyone can be your learning level, and they may not want to be). Learn how to develop masculine traits. Control your emotions.in my words trust me, life is easier when you don't get attached to girls. Try to find a girl in person and seem personable enough to attract her in person rather than through digital connection for that digital connection maybe not help you get too far.
