    Ok so here goes, I divorced a few years ago and tbh I still don’t get the modern dating game but hopefully someone on here may be able to give me some advice.

    I recently meet a very nice lady for coffee and we appeared to hit it off, too the point of agreeing to meet again for a drink.
    Only problem was I had to go back to work for a few weeks so we said we would plan something in for next time I got home.

    So my question is we haven’t messaged in a few weeks but I’m due home soon but now I’m not sure what to do next, so do I message her bearing in mind it’s a few weeks since we last spoke or messaged.

    Do I simply message and ask if she still wants to meet up again now I’m home or is the fact we haven’t spoken in a while a sign she maybe not interested?
    I would just message her if it was...leave her a voice message instead of a text on Whats App. Go for Just Do It!

    Maybe @mutley74 is the person that @Deleted_User was messaging and this is the response after a suitable delay.  Nothing like taking things slowly and cautiously.

    If he wanted us to know, he'd log back in (hasn't since March) and update the thread.
    Sometimes people post and just forget about it.
