First question: how would you handle situations where you show interest in someone by writing a thoughtful blurb (maybe even witty), and they liked it enough to match with you, but not actually respond?
Second question: for those people out there who have someone show interest in you by writing a thoughtful blurb (maybe even witty), why would you not at least also say hi or some other basic acknowledgment? What is the expectation?
The best relationships I have developed are those that arose organically in my late 20s / early 30s, online dating sucks and was always an awkward disaster
Haven’t met anyone outside online dating in 20-years and I’ve had great success. Married one I met online and am now married to another.
If you’ve kept up your appearance and are non-bugfuck, finding dates online in middle age is super easy. Yeah, there are far fewer attractive matches for both parties, but that just makes you more attractive. Dated many women out of my league that wouldn’t have dated a younger me.
