mortensorchid Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 I'd been chatting with this man on a dating website for the past week or so. He asked in an email a few days ago if I would like to get together this weekend. I said ok, as I was free on Saturday night. He said he had plans that night, so I said "alright, name a time/place that is good for you then." He responded "Call / text me at (number) on Sunday and we'll get together for a coffee or something." I don't like the sound of it. He's saying to me by that "I'll get to it when I have the time". And I have no certification that should I text or call that number that he will pick up and make the plan, right? I think I'll just let it slide.
River Rain Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 That's why I hate texting/email/online stuff because you can't read the emotion behind it and all you can do is make an assumption. But I would certainly go with your gut reaction. Last month I was on a dating site too, and I remember one guy sent me the initial email but pro-quo'd it by saying "I work from home, but I'm so busy, I hope we can find time to chat a little"...I didn't think much of it and didn't get back to him actually, and then two weeks later I got a message saying "Okay, I'm available for you now, let me know if you're free to chat at 2pm"...lol...really? I'm blessed with some time to chat with you at 2pm? I never responded! 1
yongyong Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 My favorite line 'let me check my schedule and get back to you' Am I talking to a CEO of the company? I guess both gender starts courteous but change their attitude as they run into someone like this. I can totally feel the tension of her trying not to be easy for just making an appointment. But I can not call her out since that means I am already lost. 1
