Tldr: I had my first date after divorce. We had great convo but he told a story about making out with a couple girls on first date. I declined second date over text next day. Too judge-y in today’s world?
I haven’t been single since I was 18; I’m dating for the first time as an 26 year old woman. I’ve honestly never had a legit first date. I’m trying dating apps and admittedly hating it. But, hey, it’s the pandemic. How else to try this?
Got out of a bad marriage after infidelity and attempted reconciliation. I’ve been divorced for about 14 months and after a lot of time with therapy/ meditation/ etc. I’ve changed jobs, done self work and buying a home. I feel ready to explore dating.
I downloaded Hinge and matched with a guy. We had good convo over text and met up in person. There was chemistry; good convo, he’d physically get closer, chatted about what we wanted, we laughed together, etc. He’s interesting and making jokes about the next date and helping me with moving. At some point, we are jokingly discussing drunk stories. He tells a story that he recently made out with a couple girls in a bathroom on vacation.
I had a good time with the guy but during a pandemic, that was a huge turn off. In general, its a bit of a turnoff as well. I love physical intimacy and good times, but that story sounded cheap and risky.
The next day, I declined a second date and convos. He was mature about it and said we could go out again if I changed my mind. Since then, I’ve been messaging with other guys and this first date guy keeps popping back into my head.
Was I too quick to judge that guy? Is that behavior normal/ expected in today’s world? I feel so out of dating in 20s!
