[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently separated 46 year old UMC, post grad educated, white woman. I'd been married for 14 years. I haven't been with another man since before my husband.

My sister says I needed to say fvck it and just into into Tinder to 'get alive again'

First few dates are just really ick because its obvious the guys think it's basically a booty call. That's not my interest at all.

Match with another guy and we actually correspond for a week before meeting. We meet. He's cute-ish, a little short, but he's professional, well spoken and kind so I'm open to meet again.

I suggest Indian. He says he's never had Indian food. I figure he's kidding but he's not so I say how about Pho. He says he doesn't even know what that is. Alarms are going off. How does a 45 year old urban professional not know about Pho or curry? Just for fun I then suggest Banh Mi. Yeah, never heard of that. He's never been out off the country. [b]He doesn't read, never been to a play etc.

He's incredibly uncultured and its weird given his station.

Would you go out again?[/quote]

A lot of responders are focusing on his food choices. I'm a guy and the bigger red flags to me would be that he doesn't read. I doubt I would be compatible with someone who doesn't read. But I'm a college professor, in two book clubs, have authored two books, subscribe to NY Times, Washing Post, New Yorker, The Atlantic, etc.
I'm a foodie too, but I'd probably be willing to work around the limited cuisine exposure.
The no reading would likely be a deal breaker for me. [/quote]
