This a sign that I’m too old for her/she’s too young for me?

Uh you’re 40 not 80?! Do you real not have text conversations with people?

Depends if you have time to text back and forth for 21 questions.

Can't say I would find it amusing but it may indicate different styles. I get bored of text after the fourth or fifth text, I couldn't care less if people find that boring.

Wife here with 13yr age difference -- you're being dumb, OP. She's flirting. But if you find it juvenile, maybe you're just not compatible.

The age gap isn't really an issue.


Agree.

I think texting is good for short, necessary communications: like "I am here, to the left of the front door."

I can't stand the small keyboard/screen for long discussions or conversations. The constant autofill/typos are also maddening.

Yes, I (not OP) am old. But that is how I feel. So, this person would not be right for me. but I think she likes you, and she sounds cute. But, again, let her find someone who would like to kill an hour sending 20+ texts.

So I just looked up what 21 Questions is.

It's different from 20 Questions.

You ask each other get-to-know you questions. 21 of them.

I'd totally play 20 Questions via text. It would take little time a thought. But no, I wouldn't want to answer 21 Questions in a row about myself and my thoughts and my life philosophies. That sounds exhausting.

I’ve played with someone and it wasn’t philosophical. He asked me really funny questions like “would you rather” xyz. “Would you rather lose your left arm or right leg?”. It was actually really fun.

PP, it just sounds like…you’re not that fun? As others have said it’s a compatibility issue.

Yes it is. She is too young for you.

He's 40 and she's 31 that's hardly too young, but he's definitely too boring.

Wow I can't imagine at all why you are still single at 40

I'd rather do it over dinner, not text. I can see how it could be fun but I would want some interesting questions that may lead to back and forth conversation. I think that would be better to get to know someone and more fun.

Doing that over text. Kill me.

I’m 40, OP, and I think this would be fun. But the fact that you don’t means you likely don’t define fun in the same way. That’s ok, just probably time to move on.

OP, you are so picky. That's the problem.

IT actually sounds like OP just isn't that into her, if he was he'd be cool with whatever way she wanted to connect with him. But he's doing the typical immature thing of blaming the other person.
