I don't know who it was who posted earlier in this thread that dating after a certain really sucks, and I fucking agree.
Had a great date over many cocktails last night with a woman in her late 30s, she was really into it, and said she wanted to see me again. Tells me via Whatsapp this evening she's not free this weekend because she has a date tomorrow, though she 'maybe would have preferred to ask you [me] out, instead' (her words).
Fuck you, you fucking disrespectful twat.
Ugh. Dating at 45 fucking sucks, boys. And now it's Friday night, and I'm on QBN.
- *after a certain ageContinuity
- We need a new "dating after a certain age really sucks" thread. Hope there's a cool shirt too. XP lolsea_sea
- How is that disrespectful?i_monk
- dating is having options. a friend's mother told me "women are like cars, keep a few around so you don't get used to one, until you figure out what you like."imbecile
- loool @ shirtimbecile
- I've never been like that. I hate feeling like someone's option, and I don't like doing it to others.
Just the way I'm wired.Continuity - lol @Continuity that's just being serious, don't blame yourselfgrafician
- that's a good quality to have, maybe just realize that other people are probably "playing the field" more than yourselfimbecile
- you only survive dating by cultivating an abundance mindsetcannonball1978
- I found that when dating you have to find soeinstrmntl
- Yes that lead on line says it all, it means keep trying sucker. It doesn't matter what age, once you spot manipulation attempts, runrobotron3k
- Keep in mind when you starting dating there wasn’t an abundance of ways to meet women.noRGB
- And now everyone has access to millions of options and will put in the work to find the best first.noRGB
- @Continuity - i think she's giving you a hint. pitched it underhand for you. she def prefers to be out with you... GL!umbee54
- @umbee Yeah, maybe, but I didn't like the way it came out. Maybe the tone-of-voice limitations of texting. Maybe I overreacted. I don't know.Continuity
- Too late now anyway, I told her it's not my thing, and that I'm not taking this further.Continuity
- Too bad...she may have also been looking around for a long time without luck so perhaps she’s somewhat jaded by dating too?BusterBoy
- If you still like her then say, "when you tell me _____ I read it as _____. I don't know if that's what you intended, but that's what I'm taking from it."cannonball1978
- Thanks, lads. Yeah, I don't know, we'll see. All of this took place last evening, so I'll let it (and myself) cool off a bit.
Dating still sucks.Continuity - Don't limit yourself. There's clearly a generational gap between you two.sea_sea
- Give her another chance. And this time fill her schedule so she can’t pull this shit again.monospaced
- Keep her in your basement, she'll know you mean business. Just make sure it's soundproof.deadsperm
- well, she joined a dating site, lined up some options, you was one, she met you, but probable had a row of dates lined up. once she met them all, she might pickshapesalad
- you in the long run. It's fine. whatever. only bad point is perhaps she shouldn't have been so honest as it wasn't classy. however you can respect her honesty.shapesalad

- It's an (attractive) woman's world on Tinder/Bumble. They have a gazillion guys lined up constantly and can be as flaky as they want. Dating sucks.formed
- Since when did attractive women not have a lot of options though? It’s exagerated now but basically the same dynamic that has always existed.yuekit
