So I’d taken a break from dating, having just moved I really didn’t even have the time.

So I’d taken a break from dating, having just moved I really didn’t even have the time. But I started chatting with a guy from an OLD site. The conversation went so great, we had so much in common. Sunday we met... the connection was undeniable, the time flew by and nothing was awkward. I am smitten and I haven’t been smitten in a long time! He’s coming up (we live about 90 minutes apart) Saturday and we plan to cook together and spend some time on my swing. Just wanted to encourage everyone, biding your time can be a good thing!

A lackluster date. What does lackluster mean to you?

Like we'll be talking, calm conversation, agreeing on things, just being comfortable. There's no physical flirting. And in the end, you don't dislike the person. You can probably sum it up as "not bad." But not a "fuck yeah!" Is this lackluster to you? What would you do to make it less lackluster?

Any still go out solo or with friends open to opportunity anymore?

Been out a fair bit lately, not hardcore clubbing but a lot of pubs and bars (ok mainly pubs) and everyone out that isn’t an obvious pensioner or with their family are quite young. I mean early twenties young or even less. I’m not going to dodgy pubs that serve underage kids btw and a few women I’ve met and chatted to turned out to be early twenties. I’m sat here now and there’s a mixed group and I think they are in uni by the references but look, act and sound like high school... I’m uk btw. Dunno if it’s different in other countries. Edit: I mean by “opportunity” you’d be cool with someone approaching you. I know there’s ladies nights and stuff when you are with your friends and not wanting the guy attention.

Did I read the situation wrong, did I deserve to get blocked from them?

Just had a first date on Sunday afternoon. I thought it went pretty good, nothing like sparks flying but we spent 3 & 1/2 hours together on the beach & walking in the park talking. At the end of the date, she even said "We should do this again, next time near you!" I came near where she lives... almost 50 miles away from my house. It felt like it was worthy to keep talking and texting to setup a second date. We are both 34. She had read receipts from iMessage enabled. I sent her a text when getting home on Sunday taking her for the lovely time. Monday morning I text her about just how I got sunburn from our time. No read receipt. Wait until the evening and do a hand wave emoji. Read, no reply. At this point, something just felt off, so I sent her a text saying, "It feels like you don't wanna continue, if that's the case just let me know and I won't bother you again" Delivered; no read receipt. Goto the dating app, conversation disappeared,...

Do men in their thirties fantasize about growing with someone, building a legacy and family?

I (30 F), going through a divorce, wonder if there is hope that men who are in their 30s actually yearn for this. I often think about how wonderful it would be to find the right man so we can be loving, have a family and grow together. It’s the little things, like, I fantasize about how amazing it would be to be married to the man I love and go grocery shopping together with our baby or to go to the beach all together and how proud I would be of our family. I can’t wait to experience that but I wonder at this point how many man actually also truly wish to share this type of experience. So, let’s hear it! :) Submitted April 09, 2019 at 11:09PM I (30 F), going through a divorce, wonder if there is hope that men who are in their 30s actually yearn for this.

Is there meant to be sparks/connections on first date

I’ve never dated someone seriously where I didn’t feel crazily attracted to them on first date. Normally I’d find out we have a lot in common on first date and I’d go “god he’s hot”. We’d flirt a lot and at least make out towards the end of the night. I’ve never actually tried to give it time to someone who I don’t have an immediate spark/connection. Am I being too shortsighted? I feel like I probably rejected people before based on the lack of sparks on first date.
