I (52M) am getting back into the dating scene (divorced) for the first time in 23 years. Things have changed a bit 😆 . Some good changes (apps can work) and some not so good (or maybe it’s just more of a different world in general). My preference would be to meet someone organically/in person bc I feel like I read energies/vibes well, plus I’m a bit quirky myself 🤣🤷♂️ Getting to my question(s)…I know approaching (kinda creepy word tbh) a woman in public is tricky, but should a natural dialog occur, are there specific dos and don’s surrounding asking her out? (Obv if there is a ring, or she’s with her child, etc). ask for her number…Or a date? Or first ask if she’s in a relationship? Also, My suspicion is that “date” may be off-putting or too much in today’s world? I’m operating on really old software so looking for some good updates
Super situation-specific and I’m prob overthinking it but this seems like prime Reddit material so throwing it out there
Edit: the “different world in general” was really a reference to phones, social media, etc. and specifically, that we usually have our faces buried in them (guilty as anyone). Which brings me to another question 🤣 messaging someone “cold” on IG. Oh man that’s a whole other post but chime in if ya got something. I actually know people who are genuinely together and stable that met as randos on IG or FB. At least you can see a bit of who you’re talking to 🤷♂️
