This. Listen to my gut very carefully when it comes to women these days. Especially when it comes to online dating. If I don't feel totally convinced when it comes to meeting someone, I won't waste my time with her.

I agree with respect to trusting your instincts. Women's intuition and mothers intuition is beat to death. Make instincts aren't and imho, i suspect it coincides with female primary social order. It does not promote men nor does it encourage the following progression in masculinity.
I disagree with you on not going. I 100% go if we have agreed to a time/location and has shown no reason for no showing. I almost ghosted and the chick is cool but shy. Not much for texting. I suggest that you let things play. With respect to any sort of ambiguity for # or meet up, LMR or other, I #NEXTSET without recourse. I #nextSet a chick most recently. Late side of twenty, just a plate as you never know what a dryspell may strike. Clearly, the targeted demographic is top form SMV 18-23. Then again, my **** won't suck it self. I bait her a few times, if she doesn't bite, I next.
I mostly setup outings i partake in. Coffee is cheap and I am a fiend for it. I am a foodie. I have no interest in doing things 8 don't want to do. My phone is full of ebooks, epubs, pdf books, and audiobooks. A burner phone has a archive of crap. I can pivot to other endeavours. Similarly, I would rather strike out then not even swing but I digress.
