ConflictedGuy27 Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I really like LAUNCH BTW likewise... too he bad launched it.
Author USMCHokie Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 likewise... too he bad launched it. Not officially...
oliviahopkins Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 If at first, you two were spending a lot of time together, and all in a sudden, it trails off...it sounds to me like she's not interested. But don't lose hope, there are plenty of ladies who would like someone to spend the holidays with, besides there family. Keep looking. Take care.
tami-chan Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I like Johan's take...no need to do anything dramatic or ritualistic ...just let her be ..let it trail off...in the meantime- go strut your hot bod and let them women drool.... I like "launch" too...it's almost vintage you.
EasyHeart Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 IMO, starting to date around the holidays is a BAD idea. There is way too much stuff going on and people have too much stuff going on with holiday parties, getting together with friends, family obligations, work events, etc. I've been pretty much fully-booked the past two weeks and will be for the next two, as well. For instance, I met a woman that I liked last week. I got her number and called her a couple days later and basically told her that my social calendar is pretty full because of the holidays and suggested we put things on "pause" until the new years. She was pleased with that, and we'll see each other in a couple of weeks. I think trying to start something around this time of year is really hard. If you've been dating a few months, it's great, but after a couple of dates, you're still strangers, so you can't really take her with you to parties or events, and people are usually just busy getting ready for the holidays. I'd say just wait until after Jan. 1.
tigressA Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I want to agree with EasyHeart's post, but the facts of the situation bother me--particularly that she didn't offer OP any explanation as to why she canceled their date. And how easy is it to just volunteer, like EasyHeart did to the woman he met, that you're just really busy and you'd like to catch up after things slow down? Very easy, especially if you are interested. But she did no such thing. Hokie, I would just let it go. Don't give it another thought and go on about your business.
OceanGirl Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Hokie you would be pleased to know that I am spreading "launch". A friend was complaining about her guy and I told her "You should launch him". She was like "I should what???"

I'd say just wait until after Jan. 1. Good point, and the primary argument against LAUNCHing at this point... I, on the other hand, usually have an empty social calendar during the holidays that I reserve for personal time and try to fill up by arranging things with others. I usually take my annual road trip to Florida and spend the holidays with friends in warm weather. So when I encounter a girl that suddenly wants to disappear when I'm most apt to make plans with her just doesn't jive...

Don't give it another thought and go on about your business. Yea, that's the plan; I think I'm just going to do my own thing this holiday season.

Hahah, which is my reasoning for wanting to do New Years week in South Beach... Just kidding...but not really... I like "launch" too...it's almost vintage you.

Star Gazer Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Yea...I usually don't ask for a reason as canceling alone is reason enough for me to be wary.... Cancelling alone shouldn't be reason to be wary, sh*t happens. It's the lack of explanation that's the major indicator of a problem.

It's the lack of explanation that's the major indicator of a problem. I agree that sh*t does happen...but if becomes a common occurrence, regardless of reason, then there's probably a problem... But yea, a cancellation or two certainly wouldn't create LAUNCH conditions...it would just pique my spidey sense...
johan Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Word. sh*t does happen... LAUNCH pique my spidey sense... How could she have lost interest when you have such a mastery of all the trendy euphemisms and phrases? She's no catch.
OceanGirl Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Hokie, For what it's worth you are a great catch. Hot, smart, funny, sweet... I am sure it's just a matter of time before you find that someone. As for this girl, keep it on the back burner but it has probably fizzled out before it even started. It's her loss.

Especially when every other word that comes out of my mouth is one of those aforementioned phrases that screams, "I'm the bees' knees, you better not let go of me..." It's a good thing I watch a lot of TV.

Thanks for the kind words, OG. You're probably right, I don't think I ever saw any kind of "spark" between us...eh well, it was fun while it lasted...South Beach here I come!
AverageJoe Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Hahah, which is my reasoning for wanting to do New Years week in South Beach... Just kidding...but not really... This is exactly what you do. The holiday's are the best time to pick up women. Hands down.
Author USMCHokie Posted December 22, 2010 Author Posted December 22, 2010 Another question...should I even bother getting her a small Christmas gift "just in case"...?
