Why can't a man his age be upfront about things?

Question - (20 July 2015) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 July 2015)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, *hanib writes:

I recently joined a dating site, match.com, I met a guy who was in his early 50s, I am 40.

We met 5 times in all and the last time we met he invited me over to spend the night, he was flirty and I took this as I sign he wanted things to go further, I spent the night and we did get a little intimate but did not go all the way. I was a little confused by him but didn't really mind as I liked him. I never heard from him after that which was 3 weeks ago. I didn't contact him as I had a hunch he was chatting to someone else as he was constantly online on what'sapp.

I'm old fashioned and I thought if he'd been interested enough he'd of contacted me.

So I put it down to him not being overly bothered and continued on the dating site chatting to other guys.

Then at the weekend he appears in my view box and has sent me a couple of winks.

I didn't respond as I was frustrated at the way things ended.

Why would this guy do this, surly at his age one should just be upfront about things, I didn't act needy or divulge to much to soon and couldn't get why he didn't just say thanks but no thanks.

So_Very_Confused agony auntChronological age does not equal maturity.

I'm married to a 42 yr old 12 yr old. He has no maturity. He behaves as if he was 12.

just because someone is middle aged does no mean they can behave like a grown up.

Chalk it up to experience.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntMen don't do "up front." We try to get women to put out... and when they don't (put out quickly enough....as you didn't) we wander off and look for another one........

Don't let it bother you.... since you emerged with your self-respect....

Good luck in the future. (P.S. I met my S.O. on that site that you mention....)
