Jack_70 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I was married for 15 years and got divorced recently. I recently started seeing a women in her late twenties. I'm 40. Obviously a lot of time has passed since I was on the dating scene, and I'm a bit confused about how women in this age range view dating. I'm hoping for some advice from those who have been there. She's really a sweet girl, very mature, and an attorney. We have loads of stuff in common. About the only thing that drives me nuts is that she's apparently not big on the telephone. She insists on doing this damned text messaging thing for hours on end. I'll want to call, but she'll tell me she's really busy, but then she'll want to text back and forth for an hour. Add to this the fact that she only wants to go out or see each other on weekends (says she's too busy during the week), and I'm confused as to whether she's really interested in me or not. Are all women this age like this, or is it perhaps just this one? She swears she likes me and wants to see more of me, but I'm not used to someone I'm interested in (and who is supposedly interested in me) not wanting to talk on the phone or who doesn't want to see each other more than just the weekend date. Yeah, yeah, yeah, lecture me about dating women my own age, but she asked me out!
backspn Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 If she works long hours, like attourneys do, then she is probably really tired on the weekdays. It is very common for people to only date on the weekends. If I go out with my gf on the weekday it is usually after 8pm and only for a couple hours, not really a date in the commom sense of dinner and movie/coffee etc. My gf and I do alot of communicating during the week with texts also. I wouldnt worry about it too much.
The Studmuffin Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 She insists on doing this damned text messaging thing for hours on end. that's funny! no offense though Jack! being in my twenties and on the dating scene i can honestly say that this is simply how it works today. for me and a lot of people i know actually picking up the phone and calling is for occasions when you need to talk to that person immediately, when you can't wait and texting doesn't guarantee a response. but texting is the norm! and it's fun too! you can have a naughty little conversation going on all day, and take your time to think of the smartest and funniest way to reply. and it works even though you're at work or school. so yeah, texting rules
The Studmuffin Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 and as for the weekends, i agree with backspn. if you're really busy during the week, the weekends are simply more suitable to have a relaxed date where you're not thinking about waking up for work the morning after. that probably doesn't say anything about whether she likes you or not.
