Sunday night thoughts… dating in your 40s is…

Sunday night thoughts… dating in your 40s is basically wondering, “Does he actually like me… or is he just being nice?” 😂
I swear dating used to be easier. You liked someone. They liked you. You talked. You went on dates.
Now it’s… don’t text too fast, don’t double text, don’t seem too interested, play it cool.
Meanwhile, I’m over here thinking… CAN WE JUST LIKE EACH OTHER?! 😂
If I like you, I want to talk to you. Give me the random texts, flirting, laughing, actual dates, affection and eventually somebody stealing half my bed.
I don’t want to decode texts like I work for the FBI or pretend I’m “unbothered” when I actually like someone.
Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I think the right person should make you feel wanted, not confused.
So tell me…
When you really like someone, do you make it obvious or play it cool and wait for them to make the first move?
Men AND women… I’m curious about this one. 👀
