What Kare said. Also, I remember- it stands out because there were two Navy Guys – that you stated you were getting back together with him as FWB only and weren’t interested in a relationship. It seems like on this thread you’ve just looked for casual things, so why get jealous and upset?
Gross. Or really, ever, via text. That conversation should happen in person.
Go full prom but with neck brace like the girl at the dance in 16 Candles.
Woo-hoooo!!! That’s fab. Maybe slide some over to the Bornean apes! 🙂 or just buy yourself something cool like a new bag.
People still have plenty of sex in their 40s too, guys. And if you got married young, say, and divorced, that may be the time to go crazy. Totally depends on your circumstances. My 20s were pretty boring. Teens and 30s were wilder.
Right, that’s my friend C’s experience since moving from the East Coast to LA. She’s really pretty, is a CMO of a startup, fun, travels, plays beach football, goes out all the time… No problem getting a date but it’s all fluff, nothing ever substantial. Flake city.
Wait, you don’t even work together? I don’t see anything questionable about it. Does he know how to get in touch with you, or would you have to run into him again? I really don’t get or buy this “I don’t know how to flirt” thing, it’s called smiling and being cute, but you could hand him your card with your personal cell in pen. Or did you already give him your card and he hasn’t emailed or anything?
Yes, way flakier than NY. I keep hearing that from people who live there. It’s probably as hard as NYC but in a much different way.
You know LA is the flakiest dating market, right?
Maybe he didn’t reply because he realized you don’t actually live in LA and he’s not interested in an inter coastal romance. And if he was just interested in a hookup when you were in town, writing a cutesy email from your dog to his probably signals that that won’t happen.
I was 36 and my husband was 41 when we met. He was in his late 30s by the time he stopped being a serial dater and kind of a dick or “bad boy” and actually started looking for a solid relationship and using Match. And – this is key – dating age appropriate women. He was no longer a hot-shit elite athlete at that point… “Retired” from that level of competition at 35 or 36, and a little after that he started to focus much more on career. If we’d met sooner I don’t see how it would have worked.
The needing to get home early to play video games with roommate thing is the key here. It renders the going Dutch thing moot. If a guy said that to me I would think, ok, he must not be interested because what guy would try to leave a promising date situation early with a lame excuse like that? And then, knowing he’s not interested in me or in making a good impression, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he suggested splitting the check. In fact, I’d already have my money down on the table and be thinking about my bubble bath.
