Mum on a date - no contact!

[Shouldiworryaboutthis]

I’m not sure if I'm over-thinking things but my mother (late 50’s) went on a date today with a man from on-line dating. She said she would message me in the day to let me know how things were going, I have not heard from her and she hasn’t received/read any of the messages I’ve sent. She is quite a trusting person and in the past has allowed men from on-line dating come to her home for coffee when she knows very little about them. I advised against this and she has not (as far as I’m aware) done this since.
Should I be concerned?

I live 15 miles away from my "local" bank....trust me it was more stressful going there than it is to do it online. Fucking Hells bells (see over 50's also swear a lot as well, and I don't even have dementia), anyone would think our brains shrivel to the size of teeny tiny marbles the minute the clock strikes 12 on our 50th birthday.

She gets lonely because she has been on her own for many years and would like another relationship, so she is actively OLD, ideally she wants a friendship initially with possibly more. Twice you have made up your own narrative now on your posts to me, even trying to insult her. Let’s just leave it there.

How many apologies do you need or want OP?

I came back to flag up my possible misunderstanding of what you wrote, and apologised in advance. You won't accept that and come back being rude.

I'm not sure how you can say that because I read what you have written. Now, you are bending over backwards to say I misunderstood.

It's not my fault if you construct a narrative that is not entirely clear.

Yes, leave it here, like you said you were going to many posts back.

I am not being rude, I am stating the obvious, being rude is insulting someone’s mother. It is a little odd that you’re so insistent on moving away from the original question, I asked a question about contact during OLD that is all and that was my only question, not the ins and outs of her life. If I wish to come back again to post, then I will, there are no rules that state I can’t.

Well good for you BUT MY 90 year old Mother in Law who gets a bit confused sometimes and relies on the nice ladies in the lloyds bank branch to help her with her money but now she risks being bopped over the head at a cashpoint or falling over because her ankles are swollen - what is wrong with people on here clearly only blinkered about themselves and clearly can’t see the difficulties others have - AND LLOYDS BANK think that throwing thousands at a TV commercials about horses being by your side!! That won’t help 90 year olds who need cash to pay their bills because they’re not on the internet… GEE UP NEDDY!!!

OK,

a) Could you please stop being rude and shouting at people in all caps?
b) You literally said "Banks closing branches creating stress for the over fifties." That is what posters are taking issue with, not the fact that some very elderly people may indeed struggle with online banking.

I can't believe you actually think that most people in their 50s wouldn't be able to handle online banking.

I’ve only just caught up on this thread, tbh I’m shocked at how people attacked you online. You were simply asking for a second opinion and guidance on a situation, not a dissection of your Mums life. I’d have felt the same as you and it’s lovely that you care xxx

I think we see now why your mum didn’t bother to reply to you. I’m sure she didn’t want to endure a bollocking

WTF are you reading, nowhere did it say the mother had a bollocking, stop
making shit up.
