Vintage79 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 A girl contacted me online a few days ago (Wednesday), and seemed really keen on meeting up. I said fine, and in trying to figure out a time to meet, proposed (usually 1-2 time slots per e-mail - not all at once): Thursday: 8 p.m. Friday: After happy hour with coworkers (i.e. after 8) Saturday: Some time between 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday: After 6:30 p.m. Tuesday: After 6:30 p.m. To be honest, I felt a little odd giving her options on that much of my schedule, but her response was that I wasn't trying to make time for her. I'm guessing she wanted a Saturday night date, but I had plans booked with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. I haven't even spoken with this girl (on phone), but there's been plenty of e-mail/text. Does her response make sense? Should have I attempted to be more lenient in terms of times? (I'm saying I gave her too many options already - but maybe my perspective is wrong) Thoughts are welcomed...
Philosoraptor Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Wait what? It's a first meeting and you're already not making time for her? I be seeing flags and they be red. 3
Author Vintage79 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Wait what? It's a first meeting and you're already not making time for her? I be seeing flags and they be red. I was very surprised to see that as a response to my last message (which proposed 2 of the potential meeting times). It's amusing on some level...
Emilia Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 When a complete stranger starts putting demands on me I run. People with healthy boundaries don't do that. You made plenty of time for her, not many would give up their Friday night out for a first timer (I wouldn't) 2
Author Vintage79 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Agreed - it's a little spooky coming from someone you don't know. As for the Friday thing...I usually just do drinks with coworkers, and then mellow out at home. I felt a bit odd offering it, but it was an attempt to be flexible...which apparently wasn't appreciated.
