Same woman from this thread:

//www.city-data.com/forum/relat...-night-am.html

She texted me saying, "Hey, I've been thinking, and we are just in different places in our life, and looking for different things. It was great meeting you, but I'm going to have to pass. Take care."

I replied, "I am disappointed but thank you for being honest. I had a wonderful time meeting you. I wish you and your daughter well."

And she said, "Thanks for being a good guy."

Ah, oh well. She was nice about it. And honest. Mad respect.

I just wonder what her "real" reason was.

Why do you think that was not the "real" reason?

That very well might have been her real reason. I went through it with someone recently and it was the truth.

I only read the first post in the other thread.

To be perfectly honest, I bet the age difference had something to do with it. You're 25 and she's 42 with a daughter. Maybe she was considering having a young dude around but decided against it and wants someone older and presumably more mature.

You mentioned she is wealthy and you aren't. That could've been a reason too.

Either way, it is useless to ponder it. Move on. At least she texted you and was upfront about her feelings instead of ignoring you until you got the hint!

I dont know. I mean, why would she go out with a 25 year old in the first place, and then kiss him, and then text him before he had even gotten home?

Maybe she got feelings and didn't want them to become greater by having sex.

Thanks for your perspective. I thought I handled it okay, with what I texted her back.

Yeah, I thought your text was very appropriate.

The point of dating is to get to know someone to see if they're compatible. She didn't think you were compatible, end of story.

I am going to tell you a secret. A 42 year old woman with a child is not freaking out at the prospect of whether or not to have sex. I think you WERE looking for different things.
