OP you know that most women (especially older ones) only go on dates so that they can feel like the centre of attention and get a free meal, and then get a rush and confidence boost by texting you saying they dont want to see you again.
Life is like a drama for middle age single women (they are the main character).

I'm not saying this because I'm jaded, a female co-worker told me she has been on over 50 dates in the last 6 months, and slept with none of them.
