Ha! See the thing is what you seem to be missing, and I understand you tend to miss a lot so it’s hard to keep track of it all, (that’s sarcasm BTW - well mostly anyhow) is what the women and Don really have been saying is, dating used to be fun. I know it was for me. I used to LOVE meeting new people and dating. But I also used to love going to NYC until the bat crap crazy worst Mayor in the cities history killed all the fun. Dating wasn’t always this bad. Heck OLD was not always this bad. And neither were the people participating. Something changed. Maybe it’s us/me. But dating was not always this soul sucking. It’s just gotten worse and with it the ability to keep trudging into yet another date has gotten much harder. That’s what I’m saying and pretty sure what ginger and others are saying as well.

Ding ding ding BRAVO WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!! So very well said and I’m nearly positive so very true. So often I meet someone and think, oh I’d totally date her only to find out she’s already married or in an R. On the contrary, when I meet someone in my age rage and learn she’s never been married or Dd multiple times I often before very long come away thinking, oh okay, I totally see why.
