dancingintherain12 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 He's 30, i'm 22. we went on a good first date, very handsome guy. texted today and he told me he went home after dinner and fell asleep. he said dinner made him really full. i told him i agreed and passed up an opportunity to eat pizza at 4 am because i was still so full. he wrote "Lol you youngsters so had a late night ?" I wrote back: Haha actually all my friends are around 25/26 but yes don’t judge, especially considering you slept right after our dinner (grandpa emoji) he sent me an upside down smiley face. i tried to save it and told him i was only kidding and that is me on a regular basis. i hate texting. it ruins everything imo. i always feel like im writing the wrong thing. i feel like i offended him because i didnt get a text back :/
Garcon1986 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 No not necessarily, I wouldn't put too much weight onto the body language expressed through text messaging, because there isn't any Spend a bit more time sharing these jokes in person, then he may eventually get your humor. Remember guys are horrible at reading your mind unless you ladies give us lots of hints. This may still turn out well if you take an easygoing approach to it =) 1
RedHead5 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Nah, sounds fine to me. Upside down smiley is not bad. If a man is sending you emojis in general that's a good sign imo. My bf trails off convos alot, I used to freak out about it but now I do it to him too. It's not a big deal. We just get anxious in the beginning when trying to figure out someone new. Keep it light, you'll be fine! He called you a youngster for Pete's sake 2
Marc878 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 No harm done if that was a problem for him you aren't missing much anyway
guest569 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I don't think so. Is upside down smiley, upside down.. or a frown? I really should know this sort of thing.
d0nnivain Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Just because we have the ability for instant communication doesn't mean it's required. He saw the emojis as the end of that conversation. If you don't hear from in in 48 hours you can reach out one more time to try to schedule another date. If that doesn't get a response, give up.

PRW Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Stop the texting crap. People did get together and have babies before there were cell phones,...they even did it before there were any phones or even electricity. You only had one date. He should be contacting you a few days after the date to make the next date. Stop doing all this other texting carp between the dates,...save whatever you have to talk about for the date when you are face to face. This meaningless, pointless, idle, chit-chat via text isn't doing anyone any favors and most of the time it is just insecure Validation Seeking. "Remember me! Remember me! You haven't forgot about me yet, have ya? Have ya?" Unfortunately the bad pattern has already been established, so if you try to do what I suggest he will probably get butt-hurt because you didn't pay enough attention to him using the meaningless chit-chat via text, and he will think you "don't like" him anymore. 1
Logo Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 You texted that in the context of you both joking with each other. He wrote youngsters, you texted grandpa. You were teasing him and joking around. I'm sure he got it. If he didn't then it's possible he's just not a good fit for you. I wouldn't sweat it.
rightondude Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 yeah no I guarantee he did not give a darn about that
smackie9 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 If I were in your shoes, I would find his comment offensive in a way. Calling you and your friends youngsters...where does this guy get off? Was he fishing for a compliment about how good he looks for his age? He's a fumbleena. I can already sense angst on his end about the age difference...fail.
RedHead5 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I don't think so. Is upside down smiley, upside down.. or a frown? I really should know this sort of thing. I hope it's not a frown, else I have been using it wrong. I use it as a silly or cheeky kind of smile.
Lotsgoingon Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 The issue that strikes me isn't the back and forth you guys had ... though I agree with the poster who said texting can be such a waste of time. What I noticed is that you guys aren't talking about how wonderful the date was. Was the date less than wonderful?
guest569 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Well I doubt many 30 yo would legit be offended at being called grandpa.
