It was all so proper and effective. We gathered on Saturday nights at the local dance club. They were located all over the area. For a cover charge you could listen to some really great music and dance with the pretty girls. We eyed the girls sitting in clusters on tables by the dance floor, and the girls eyed us. If one of the girls caught our eye we might work up the courage to ask her to dance. Usually they accepted your invitation to dance. In addition to being pretty they were polite.
If you hit it off on the dance floor you might ask her for a date. Usually you went to the movies. I took one young lady on a date to play putt-putt golf afterwhich I took her to a nice restaurant. She was delightful and sweet. We had good decent fun. But it was not in the cards. Other dates....not so great.
For the most part the girls were polite and virtuous. The whole culture was arranged so that young people could meet up and find a suitable mate. That's all gone now.
Done in by militant feminism and the "hook-up" culture.
I met my bride of fifty-one years at a local dance club. She caught my eye, I worked up enough courage to ask her to dance......she accepted. The rest is history.
You young folk should try it.

That was a horrible opening exchange. Don't try to know them through the dating app. The goal should be to meet in person ASAP. And when the date is set don't speak to them again until the actual date.

quote:1. Don't start conversations like this. It's incredibly boring and it's going to cause every conversation to end like this one. A dud.
Me: Hi ", I'm ", how are you? How's your week going?
Woman: Hey how it's going? Very slow honestly. How is your week?
Me: Hey! So sorry about that, it was actually a busy day for me. Worked in the morning, ran a few errands and then met up with some friends in the evening. Any plans for your weekend?
Woman: I work every day until Tuesday, enjoy sleeping in though. I'll be at work in about an hour.
2. Stop saying you are sorry. Don't tell her you are busy. Don't tell her why you are busy (unless she asks).
3. Texting/dating apps should simply be to create interest and setup a date. Show her your personality, see if she reciprocates and then set up the date. You should not be messaging each other all day ever but especially in the beginning. Less is more.

Your reply was so full of cringe.
Just block and ignore. That was in no way necessary

Seriously. But it was all cringey. I’m surprised he has any luck on apps
This is what the final reply reminds me of

Holy shite. All you had to say when she called you out on taking a while was either:
A. Damn, I didn’t realize you were in a rush. That’s cool though, let me take you out for drinks tomorrow night, 8pm at such-n-such, we can talk as much as you want then.
B. Send her the Spongebob Ight, I’ma head out thing and block. (You should probably save that to your phone, you gonna need it.)
Then you could have found someone equally as creepy as yourself in the time you spent on that paragraph. In all seriousness though, toughen up, online dating is not for chit chatting, it’s for making a few jokes, then fricking.

How many alters do you have, GN?

Yeah, that's all nice but that shite doesn't work this day and age. Even at 40, women my age and a few years younger are about dating sites. It's too easy that way.
For guys, communication is key.

Oh good. I’ll message you later

No wonder you are single. Weirdo

I'm married, not dating, and honestly, if something ever happened to my marriage, I don't think I would ever date again. I'd just raise my kids and if an opportunity comes to get a little strange on the side, I would, and that would be that.
But I have friends who have divorced / never got married who are going through the whole dating thing.
It seems like women - no matter how fat or ugly - have been conditioned that every man - no matter how in shape or attractive - should immediately jump in any response to a woman talking to her.

The problem is y’all put these fat heifers on a pedestal from day one and then wonder why you end up divorced and without half your shite by age 30.
OP, don’t listen to all the pussy whipped betas in this thread. If this woman is already giving you attitude on a dating app, consider yourself lucky. You just saved yourself a whole lot of misery down the road. You handled this the right way.
So glad I met my wife (not an entitled fat arse) before all this nonsense became the norm.
