My cousin (who is 42) met a guy online (45)....had sex on first date and next night as well....and he told her she was a great women and he wanted to be with her....texted and called her everyday for about a week and then all of a sudden said he can't be with her because he has too much going on taking care of his sick dad etc and she deserves more....so she texts him saying they can still hang as friends and go slow (how can they go slow when the already had unprotected sex?) and he said that he still would like to get together with her because he is crazy about her....she really believes him. Saying he is just messed up and wants all or nothing but they will go slow and see where it goes. I personally think he is playing mind games and/or just wants a booty call. This has happened many times to her and others I know. Or am I too cynical?

Yeah, she needs to recognise when she's being dumped.

Hard to tell really.

 

Over 40's, most of us are fed up with the playing the hard to get game, and feel confident enough in yes banging someone on the first date if we have a good vibe with them. After all it is just sex, we're not giving away the family fortune here. :laugh: Over 40 and no-one is buying the line you are saving yourself for your forever partner, protecting your virtue etc.

 

Possibly, if she is looking for commitment and it never seems to come to her she has something to learn....about herself. Sadly most people on the planet do not even spend 5 mins in their own company, let alone an extended period of introspection so they can understand where these recurring issues stem from. It always comes from within.
