You’re fine, man. Write the profile like shop specs: what you do, what you don’t. No mystery. I tell dates I’m reliable, early riser, not moving. First meets are diner breakfasts. Cheaper, clearer heads. Safety is common sense plus exit plan. If someone pushes pace, that’s a red flag. Non-negotiables matter. Trust but verify.
14LISTEN UP: meet where you can hear each other. I’m not yelling over a DJ again. Online is like fishing with a net—lots to toss back. In person is a good lure in the right lake. Keep it simple, keep it honest, and quit rescheduling. Working folks can’t chase calendars all month.
14Blue-collar dad take: be respectful, be consistent, and don’t pay for attention. If she won’t hop on a short call, that’s a no from me. I like straightforward apps and meeting through friends of friends. Distance is work. Trust but verify, keep your head, and don’t promise what your schedule can’t deliver.
19I’m 47, divorced, and tried Bumble for six months. The matches were fine, but the constant back-and-forth drained me. I miss spontaneous laughter, real timing, someone’s eyes lighting up mid-story. Apps made it transactional. I met my current partner through a friend’s backyard BBQ. No algorithm, just BBQ sauce and luck.
