CptSaveAho Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Im curious what LS's response would be to this text message.... Backstory... been exchanging banter with a chick for about a week... she suckered me into meeting up with her sunday night while I had already asked her out for Tuesday. Made plans to play laser tag. Long story short she flaked, made it look like my fault, said no to meeting in a public place, then the weather and then went home. #1 I called her out on her BULL ****. #2 She apologized for "inconveniencing me" lol Then she shot off this text message "Look we can reschedule for a day without torrential rain. Or you know, not" I read these forums quite a bit and wanted to see the array of different responses to this text message and how people would handle this situation.
veggirl Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 so you never met? What a headache it already sounds like. I wouldn't respond. She is already sounding combative and the flippant "or not" would annoy me. Curious as to what you said when "calling her on her bulls.hit" too... you both sound cranky!! 2
MrCastle Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I probably wouldn't respond to the text at all. I'd next her.
Greznog Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I wouldn't bother responding, move on to someone who is actually interested.
Author CptSaveAho Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 I met her in person in a grocery store, exchanged numbers there, then had breakfast with her at 130am sunday night/monday morning Stop reading too deep into things... bull **** doesnt have to involve an emotion..

Author CptSaveAho Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 If any of you would want to date Eternal Sunshine, she put you through this same ringer! I find these firecrackers to be "FUN" challenging and keeping me honest. For those of you that say NEXT, you're missing out on upping your game
yongyong Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 tell her come straight to your house. If she says 'oh I am not that kind of girl', tell her to f-off.
Author CptSaveAho Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 I thought about that but thats bending your boundaries, she tried to change the date to that after the date time when I was already at the place
Janesays Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 You both sound young. Too young for me to advise properly, really. But I guess my answer would be: Depends on how much you like her.
Greznog Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 If any of you would want to date Eternal Sunshine, she put you through this same ringer! No thank you. I find these firecrackers to be "FUN" challenging and keeping me honest. Good for you. For those of you that say NEXT, you're missing out on upping your game We're really not, there are millions of potential vaginas, hers isn't special enough for me to play games over. 3

Um okay. I asked because if you came off as jerky, no wonder she was flippant in her reply. I'm not getting "firecracker" from either of you so much as...well, I'm sure you both think you're very cool:rolleyes: 1
MrCastle Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 For those of you that say NEXT, you're missing out on upping your game No, we're not.
oaks Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Then she shot off this text message "Look we can reschedule for a day without torrential rain. Or you know, not" My response would be "Meh. Whatever." but I'd say that out loud to myself while my thumb was doing whatever it needs to do to delete her from my phone. Edited August 29, 2012 by oaks typo
RedRobin Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 My response to a text like that would probably be: "I'll need to cancel our upcoming plans for this Tuesday. Take care, and good luck with your search!" then again, I don't tend to call complete strangers 'out on their BS'. Sometimes things just don't work out. Don't see any reason to create an enemy. Just move on.
carhill Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 No response would be my response, mainly because the last couple words clarified her perspective.

It sounds to me that both of you would do us all a big favour by removing yourselves from the dating pool
madjac74 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 It seems so common. Not sure what the OP is looking for here
Andy_K Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I'd ignore the slightly flippant 'Or you know, not' at the end of her message. She wouldn't suggest rescheduling if she didn't want to give things a second chance. She's likely feeling a bit defensive after you called her out, and she's not sure if you'll still want to. My reply would be something like "Drinks thursday at 8?" Unless you love drama, don't make any reference to the failed date. If it wasn't a one-off, you'll find out soon enough anyway. And if it was, and she's apologised, not mentioning it again shows you're adult enough to let it go. People are often not quite themselves around strangers. Give a second chance but no more. 1
Emilia Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I agree. So many people in this thread are so negative. If you give up at slightest hint of a hurdle, then love is never going to happen. That is true. However bickering and fighting over setting a 2nd date doesn't exactly come across as healthy in my opinion
runningfar Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 It's amazing someone who refers to women as "potential vaginas" hasn't been snapped right up before this could ever happen...
Greznog Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 It's amazing someone who refers to women as "potential vaginas" hasn't been snapped right up before this could ever happen... It's not amazing considering my refusal to get into a relationship is as rigid as my refusal to play games.
dispatch3d Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah schedule another date I guess. You have nothing to lose really. Just thursday at 8 or whatever you want to do. I'd try to ignore the other stuff she does. She sounds like a headache right now.
