My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

    The not being on social media one sucks when dating for sure.

    “How do I know you aren’t a weirdo, creep, stalker etc?”

    “You don’t and me having social media wouldn’t change that either.”

    Sure I could play ball and make myself a presence but honestly I’m happy enough being single that I’ll gladly dodge any lady who isn’t on board with my lack of social media.

    Just a shame that in a numbers game that a relatively high proportion choose such a non issue to be a sticking point.

      I think the numbers may work in your favor the other way. The coolest / funnest / most interesting people I know have minimal or no social media presence. There are fewer of them, sure, but a much higher percentage of them are cool people vs the mindless drones who see everything in life as a photo op which they can post on their curated online persona’s webpages.
