For example, I’m not the smoothest or most charming person but I know how to almost always convert a conversation to a date if they reply with reasonable delay by asking them out at the ideal point in the conversation. Now when I reach that point, I don’t. I feel that I need to vet them more before committing to a date. Which isn’t ideal I guess because you probably won’t get a better occasion to ask them out but whatever.
Is it a dating hiatus thing or a getting older thing? What did change in your dating approach after a long hiatus ?
