if i have to ask this, then probably do, right?

i am 30 had a date with a 42 year old man Sunday. we matched on hinge. today is Thursday, and I have not heard back from him since Sunday before the date. we also never got off the app.

i thought the date went well. we both said goodbye and hope the other gets home safe, but nothing else.

i could have sent smth after the date, yes, but it did not occur to me in the moment.

this is a lack of interest right? i thought it might be different since he is 40 and has a real job and is probably busy. before the date we matched late on friday, so maybe he only has time to text/date on the weekends?

i figured if he was not interested, he would have just unmatched by now? i always read about the girl texting the guy to set up a second date and that it works out but 50%. personally, it has never worked out for me when i was the one to text for a second date, so i am trying not to do that here as well. TIA

I offered a FWB arrangement to a guy I met on tinder.

I got friends vibe from him anyways so was happy to have something like this.

He is NOT good in bed, but I still gave it a second try. After the second time, I think I just liked his company more than the actual "benefits" because I was not getting any "benefits" if you know what I mean. I still texted him if that I am free later if he wants to come over and he didn't respond for 10 hours and then said he was busy. Then I said no worries and he just read it. Then 6 days later he asked what I am up to, I have not opened it and don't feel like responding.

I feel that I had rose colored glasses on or enjoyed his company, but after 6 days of silence they have come off and I realized I felt really empty after he would leave.

I have never intentionally not opened or not responded to anyone.

Should I have just texted him back and say that this isn't working for me and wish him all the best?

I felt he was extremely excited and on board with this, but then he acted like any other fboy from tinder. I mean we matched on tinder, so what did I expect, right? I thought this would be an easier arrangement then trying to date, and it turned out to be smth complicated and a bit toxic.

This is not office specific as I have seen this done in 2 offices.

Women - why do you throw in half the toilet paper roll and leave it? You know you can flush it, right?

It is 2026 and out of 4 stalls, 3 will have this thing.

Is this a new trend I am not aware of?
