It's dating FFS. It's not looking for the love of your life. It is possibly meeting up, having coffee and just the odd meal or two.
If there is no chemistry, that is it, next date.
For me it has been 4 years since BD, and only 6 months since D. I won't wait a year.
I left it too long and yet not long enough.
I now have three dates lined up, just through chatting and flirting. It's just coffee and lunch, see what clicks.
I am not looking for the great next love of my life, I want friendship and some male companionship for now.
Must say OLD is very OLD with me, I prefer to see and chat to my date. One of the advantages of OLD is age appropriate is known. Although guys in their 60s on old are looking for 40 odd year old women.
I have to say all my dates are younger and one is much younger than me. We will see how it goes. I guess I present better IRL than before
Here is a text exchange
