“Is he a bad texter, or is he over 35?”
Elizabeth Castaldi, a popular US creator, has sparked a viral discussion about the generation gap in texting when it comes to dating.
Castaldi, 27, recently went on a date with a 35-year-old man and she was baffled by the text he sent her the next day.
“Hey, had fun last night. Have a good day,” the man texted.
Then, in true Generation Z fashion, Castaldi took that private message, screenshotted it and posted it online, where it has amassed more than 500,000 views.
She added the caption: “I have to start dating people my own age. But I won’t.”
Castaldi’s confusion at the text message firmly divided the comment section.
Some thought she was being accurate and he was texting like a millennial, while others thought she was being unfair and the text she received wasn’t out of the ordinary.
“I’m confused how is this bad?” one person asked.
Castaldi replied that she didn’t have the “ick” by his formal text message, but his millennial texting style made her unable to tell if he wanted to see her again.
“Let’s be clear, I do not have the ick. I just can’t read him and I really, really want to go on a second date,” she wrote.
Someone else replied and said the problem with the 35-year-old’s text is that it was too sterile.

I was trying to understand what a “greater” was and discovered her Instagram page. I think the guy dodged a bullet.
“Outside of Christ, you (and your spouse) will live with a person who possesses a worldly, anti-Christian worldview.”
My wife is a Buddhist. I am not religious. Neither of us are anti-Christian.
Twice blessed! I wish you many happy years together:)
My Gen Z son is rather formal and conservative. He hasn’t had much luck with the ladies, though he is a 4.0 student, attractive and all that. He has found that the Gen Z girls tend to want hyper aggressive (jump into the sack) attitude and he just wasn’t raised that way. The worse they get treated the more they seem to like it and he was also not raised to act that way. I suggested he find a nice Polish girl from Poland.
Some women make no effort. A man will no chase a woman unless you give him something to chase. A man will not marry a woman who is difficult.
Good advice, but don't try to find her in Warsaw, they've been corrupted by US culture there.
He forgot to add any emojis. Let me coorect his text.
Hey, had fun last night. Have a good day👹👹
Hope that helps!
Thankfully, I was born way too early to have to deal with brainless bitches like this one. Wow, the guy was complementing her, but that clearly triggered this imbecile. Hopefully, every male that she goes out with does this, so that she drops them and doesn’t reproduce.
What is “the ick?” Is it something like “cringe?”
even the little praying hands? or are those okay?
Or ‘Have a nice life!’
Well, it’s good that he discovered her true self right early.
I still don’t know what he did wrong.
Respond to her online dating service.
He should move on.
A girl knows within the first 5 minutes if she is attracted to a guy.
Low effort women are not worth the effort.
Yeah, that makes sense. I do think she is a nice girl and her passivity is her way of giving him a hint... better than ghosting IMO. Another weird scenario for him, a girl was chasing him pretty hard. He responded positively... then she ghosted him. It’s like a game for these girls. See how many men they can get interested in them, and then quickly move on to the next batch.
