So far every younger guy I have been with paid for a date.

Just because they paid for one or two dates, doesn't mean my point isn't valid. Often people trying to scam others will put on a good front in the beginning to hook the person.

Whatever site you're matched on just reach out to him and give him your new #. He'll call you when he wants if at all.

Seriously, the younger one is from 36, the more 'ditzy' they become with IM. Best to just complete cut it.

I don’t think that is the case. I don’t know who you dated but men I date know I’m a single mother working two jobs and lots off bills to pay. I’m not on wellfare but I’m not in a position to be sugar mama.

What makes you think women are so easy to be hooked on some hunk?

Ok, so he Did reply. He apologized, said anything works for going out.
I still didn’t get to change my number but tomorrow have to.
My other date was nice but different personality. Will see how it goes. I liked him as well but don’t have that much in common.

I was just going to say that you're moving too fast, period. Now you're dating somebody else? Does he know? Perhaps he sensed that and backed off and is subtly letting you know.

The bold part is where it went south.

A young guy has no desire to play a game with no cookie at the end.

Depending on where you live there may not be any concerts or even local bands on the typical Friday night/weekend and it IS a very risky date. They BOTH might end up hating the music and it's doubtful you'll be able to talk much and get to know each other more - about as bad as a movie date when you are very first dating and potentially a whole lot more expensive. Better to plan another activity.

What? You’re a single mother working two jobs with lots of bills to pay?
I can’t imagine having the time or energy to go out...and worrying about not being able to talk to someone 3 days later so you find someone else?
Not only that but when I go out to meet a guy I’m in the position to expect to pay my own way, if he declines and pays for both of us, I have cash to leave a tip. The majority of the time I have left at least a good tip, but I don’t go out for free dinners...
