Should I even go on this date?

So I'm 32 and he is 28.
I met him on tinder.
He still lives at home with his mum and he works night shift at asda 5 days a week and I work 9/5 so when would I see him?
I don't think I fancy him and he is only 5ft 4
I'm full of cold
He seems nice enough but I'm not sure if I can be bothered

I wouldn't bother personally. It would be a waste of time.

cakecakecheese · 08/09/2017 09:21

If you're not feeling it then don't go.

TheVanguardSix · 08/09/2017 09:22

No.
This has NO, DON'T DO IT! written ALL over it.

Louisaj2345 · 08/09/2017 09:24

I'm really not feeling it at all
It feels like work ...

If you're not even luke-warm at the prospect, why bother?

Boatmistress17 · 08/09/2017 09:25

Would it make a difference if he worked at Waitrose?

fastdaytears · 08/09/2017 09:26

It doesn't sound like you're into anything about him. What is making you think you should go on the date?

PutThatPomBearBack · 08/09/2017 09:27

Why go then?Confused

Louisaj2345 · 08/09/2017 09:28

No it's nothing to do with where he works,it's the fact he works 5 nights 8-6 night shift
So if I did like him,how would we see each other etc
I'm single and have been for 9 months.
Don't want to end up alone but if I seen him in the street I wouldn't look twice.

Then on the other hand he seems lovely and considerate.
Talking about walking me to the train home.

Either look at at this date as a fun thing to do one evening or don't go. You don't seem to want to, so don't. Anybody isn't better than nobody.

Ttbb · 08/09/2017 09:31

Why? You are not well, you don't seem to be interested either

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 08/09/2017 09:33

Don't want to end up alone but if I seen him in the street I wouldn't look twice.

That way madness lies. Don't settle because you don't want to be alone. You're only 32; and if you bugger it up settling for someone and it falls apart later because you aren't really matched, you'll feel like you've wasted even more time.

cakecakecheese · 08/09/2017 09:41

With OLD you have to be a little ruthless otherwise you'll be on loads of dates with people there's no chance of anything happening with and it's a total waste of make up.

TheNaze73 · 08/09/2017 09:47

Don't go in a nutshell. It doesn't matter what is on your criteria list, it can be as picky & elitist as you want.

abigailgabble · 08/09/2017 10:31

no, never settle out of fear. god no no no.

fastdaytears · 08/09/2017 10:57

You're 32 (though at any age I don't think this is a great prospect- nothing to do with him but all to do with how uninterested you are) what are you worried about?
9 months is not long at all. Don't settle.

Aquamarine1029 · 08/09/2017 15:26

You're being totally hysterical over worrying about being alone. You have ZERO interest in this guy and he sounds like a dud. Don't go on this date. Nothing but a waste of time.
