I was reading about an actress who met her husband in acting school but nothing happened between them. 10 years later, they met again and started dating and eventually got married. Another well-known actor was in the same circle as his now-wife but never pursued her until they were both older. They then went on to date and get married.
I have always been suspicious of guys who don't express interest or chase a woman when they first meet but end up being interested in the woman, later on down the line. I don't trust their intentions because we've learnt that men chase after what they want immediately and anything less than that is them not being interested (e.g. a man says that he was shy or busy which is why he didn't chase a woman is an excuse, seeing as the truth is that he just wasn't interested in her).
What does everyone think?
You mean the classic "guy who bullied you in school who has not aged well now relentlessly hits on you at the 10 year reunion"? Usually with you looking better than ever and him looking like he just crawled out of a trash can but acting like he's hot shit?
Way too common. They revealed their true intentions in the way they treated you when you met the first time. I don't give second chances. You didn't appreciate me then, you don't get to waste my time now.
Depends on the context. If you met at school/uni or when he was unemployed/between jobs and he levelled up, got his life in order and made sure he could provide for you before pursuing, I don't see an issue. If he's some scrote who ignored you before or even treated you badly, throw him in the trash. If he just wanted to date other women before slinking back to you because he's getting a pot belly/losing his hair, block and delete his ass. Basically it depends on what his reasons for waiting were. If it wasn't to be better for you and offer you more, it shouldn't signify.
It depends.. If you’ve spent a lot of time and energy leveling up, it’s only natural that HVM who wouldn’t be concerned with you when you were LV is impressed by your leveling up. Same goes for LVM really. But I do get your point. I have experienced LVM who come crawling once you no longer show any interest in them. Like it’s a game and they just want your attention again, before losing interest in you, again.
I'm very cynical at this point...and without further context, I would say he ran out of options 10+ years on 😂 She was the right-in-time-woman, not necessarily the right woman
They think they call all bag a perfect 10 until their hairlines start receding and then they panic. I also read an interesting book called "why men marry some women but not others" by John t Malloy. He hired a bunch of female researchers to go out and interview newly married couples. A common theme among the husbands is that they suddenly felt out of place at bars and clubs, they felt old. Specifically, they didn't think they were old but they thought everyone around them was too young. Think of a 35-year-old man surrounded by a bunch of 22-year-olds at a club or bar. They realize they are getting old so they need to lock down the prettiest woman they can before they're completely disgusting
It happens. I liked a man 20 years ago in college. He liked me too but it never went anywhere and we were always curious about one another over the years. Marriages and babies, and divorce. We’re together now and he’s great. He told me he realized, even at 18 (he was 21), that I was a serious woman and he wasn’t man enough. He spent a lot of years in therapy on childhood trauma, then he sought me out. We’ve been together two years now. He bends over backwards for me.
