"I live in central Oregon, work around the country (and world) in renewable energy. I like sailing and bikes and a lot of other stuff. For other background, I'm 50 years old and am unabashedly going for 20-somethings after getting out of a 4+ year relationship. Text game is improving, and I see that in the past I've just sent myself straight to the friend zone. Also it should be pointed out that my market is certainly not Miami...it's a smaller town out west. "

Hey...what would be the suggested way to keep in touch as I leave for a long trip? This girl that I've been texting has been receptive to meeting up, but we couldn't make it happen. I'll be gone for a while and want to avoid getting stuck in the friend zone or losing the frame as a potential date. Any ideas?

So...Been texting this girl for about 2 weeks, she's much younger (24) and lives about 100 miles away. She was super enthusiastic at first, but there was a very gradual fade. We were going for something late week to meet up, and I was going to drive down, which is a bigger investment in time, of course, than something local. Long story short, even though we did not definitively have a date set up, she kinda disappeared for a day or so when we were getting close to making the date happen. Texts attached, my initial thought is to do some boundary setting in a non-butt hurt way but I'm having trouble finding the vid that outlined this. Or am I just over-reacting because she's so very hot? How would y'all handle this?

Here something I'd like some suggestions for...she's early 20's, generally snarky profile, except for a reference to doms and wanting something LTR. My response could be something along the lines of: "That's part of my question. You're looking for dominant parter and anxiety/ stress relief, which I can do. If we meet up and vibe, then anything's on the table" Feedback?

I got one here. Admittedly I jumped the gun a bit at the start but...advice? BTW I don't care a whole lot about the outcome. Just want to practice.

Hi. I just subscribed, and there was a choice between the FB group and this forum. If possible I'd prefer to stay off FB so I chose this group. Is there a difference? Is the help I need on this forum? ;-) Thanks, D
