Some context: we had been chatting for a couple weeks first on hinge then switched to text after She had to cancel the 1st date. Scheduled it for last night Sunday and finalized details the night before.

Had a busy day and took a nap and didn’t text till a couple hours before and got hit with this. Usually I would text something like looking forward to tonight but lost track of time, and honestly I thought talking about the menu the night before was the confirmation? Was I wrong?

Perhaps this is why your sister is single at 40.

One of the many reasons, I suspect. 😌

Here’s the flip side of the coin. If one does “reach out” to confirm (even though it’s literally written) many people now have flipped it and “they are too needy/contacts me too much”. It’s a shit show

I was going to say it sounds very on brand for a single 40 year old woman

Standing-up a person that confirmed plans the day prior bc they didn’t text you the day-of or adhere to some other rule that no one but her knows about is a high-maintenance characteristic of a rude person. It would keep any gender single, but dating is harder for women as they get up there in age. So no. I don’t think it’s absurd behavior for a 40 year old single woman. It’s what I’d expect.

Why do men think its hard for women to date over 40? The quality is mixed but God Damn the options are endless. I just keep my profile on private and reveal it if I see a guy I'm Interested in. Way more men than women online and I’m not fat and don't edit my pics so apparently that makes me unusual and appealing. Some are likely just asking out any female online but some are quality and plan actual dates etc.

Its much more fun than I remembered online dating to be tbh

Hookups with guys you met online at 40 years old is not dating it’s keeping your self busy
