Leave her alone and consider dating younger women. There are plenty of women under 35 out there.

29 year olds are no different 😅
Yeap, it’s over. Sorry
I don’t get why people do this - if she’s no longer interested, the least she could do is be upfront about that. Ghosting is so spineless. Sorry OP.
1) Should have been more forward on the first date. If it lasted 3 hours, you need to be more physically engaged otherwise you become a "nice guy, but no chemistry"
2) I hope you were texting back and forth a bit before just asking her out for the third date. Need a bit of banter
3) Send a final text, be assertive. Something like "I'm surprised, didn't think you were ghosting type. Let me know if you are interested, otherwise I can stop wasting both our time".
If she doesn't reply, then move on. But first send a Venmo request to get paid back for what you spent.
By that logic I’ve also passed on every guy who did kiss me on the first date! 😂😂😂
Ghosting is a terribly indecent and shows the low character of a person in my opinion
Ehh a lot could have happened. You ever try the inverse some people don’t get the message and makes it more uncomfortable, drag it out, and you end up ghosting them anyways. Either way just worry about the controllable; ones reaction to being rejected.
Sorry this happened to you, sounds like a woman with horrible communication skills

Start listening to Andrew Tate!!
First, make money like Andrew Tate. He can only attract gold diggers. .
I wouldn’t consider yourself cooked. Be grateful for the practice date/kiss and them weeding themselves out. Either they ghost or tell you they aren’t interested either way their action or lack of is telling. Even if she texts back you should know what to do.
Never text a girl twice…
Did you tell her she will have to pay for the drinks on the 3rd date? Just checking since that happened to me
What? 😜 No.
F her and move on bro, you’ll get better !
Yah sorry. Unless something went really wrong (serious illness, whatever), you’re the victim of ghosting. I know “they” (relationship experts) say that no-one owes you anything, even after several dates and maybe even serious physical intimacy, but imho, ghosting is just wrong. Even after text-only chats. Bad manners. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you’re better off without someone who does that. Good luck with finding someone else, who is right for you. Plenty of fish in the sea, with better manners and compassion. You’ll find one.
90% of these responses are all cringe. It could be an accident - let go, move on, and send 1 more casual text (don’t expect anything).
Nothing you say or phrase will change the way this person feels.
That’s why you never date a woman over 30
Nice over generalization there…
The same comment can be made for men over 40 reliving their “fuck boy” era but with more weight and less hair.
Choose kindness.
If she eventually responds and you don’t care to presume. Here are a few ways to respond back.
1) I’m all for building suspense, but I don’t like you enough to make an exception.
2) your pause made me realize our conversation isn’t worth resuming.
3) I was liking your silence. This interruption is ruining it.
Or just not responding at all.
