Dating at 30

[mtexas25]

I recently started dating again, at 30. I ended a 4 year relationship and I am entering the dating scene again. So any advice would be great.

 

So about a year ago I bumped into a guy who I apparently met 10 years ago. He's older than me. We messaged each other for a bit but nothing came out of it. Recently, a year later, he messaged me again out of the blue to meet up for lunch. I'm not going to lie I was nervous at lunch. I think because I've been out of it for a while and to be honest I wasn't as confident as I normally am on a date. I'm not even sure this was a date. I can't read him. Plus I was surprised that I was attracted to him, which made me even more nervous.

 

Anyways it went well, but we didn't set anything up to meet again. At the end he told me that if he didn't see me again before my trip (that I plan to take next week) that he hoped I had a good time.

 

Afterwards, I messaged him and said thanks for lunch and had a good time, and gave him my cell number. He responded, "You welcome! Thanks."

 

So am I safe to assume he's not interested then? I know I'm over thinking this, but I'm so out of my element lol. Any suggestions or interpretations?

Sounded like it went fine. Hopefully he will ask you out again. If not ask him.

I'm a 31-year-old woman unofficially dating a 22-year-old guy. What works for me might not work for you. I've tried dating older guys but they turned out to be more immature than the younger ones. And I also look youthful. I don't think the younger guys would talk to me if I actually looked my age. It depends on where you are, how you've aged, and what kinds of people you're around. I met people through church. I'd find a church or a meetup group in your area. That's what I did.
