I think I know the answer, but would love some outside input.
I (42F) am back on the apps 2 years after my divorce. I have had a few connections but not a ton as I live in a small rural area. about a week and a half ago, I matched with a fun, decent looking guy. We work in the same field and have a lot of the same hobbies/interests. He asked me out pretty quickly, and mentioned throughout the week that he enjoyed chatting and was looking forward to the date. Then, the day came and went: nothing. The next day I texted something along the lines of hope you’re ok but I didn’t appreciate his disappearing act. He replied a few hours later saying his mom has suddenly died. Let’s assume that’s true... my dad also recently passed so I have been kind and very empathic. Thats all fine. What I’m trying to decide is whether or not I keep talking to someone I’ve never even met when he clearly won’t be in a place to start a relationship anytime soon. To complicate matters, I’m moving a few hours away soon. It makes sense to just like it die (no pj. intended), but the conversation we had before were really nice! So, chalk it up to experience or ride it out?
