Andromeda71 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I've been trying online dating for about 5 months now. Met some great people but for some reason or another they don't work out. Latest person we went out twice, most recently this weekend. We were both really feeling a connection and we have a lot in common. We both are witty and good senses of humor. But, yesterday we were texting and I jokingly said something about something that happened when we were intimate. Well, he got really pissed off I think. At first I thought he was just bantering back but I got the impression pretty quickly that he was seriously angry. I tried to reassure him that I was just joking and that I didn't mean to offend him. I called him later and left a message to reiterating my apology. I've not heard from him since. His response was totally out of left field. I know a little of his history (marriage troubles, divorce) and perhaps I should have not let my sarcasm out so strong but I never thought he would react like that. I'm really discouraged now - I just keep screwing up my dating connections. I disabled my account and I am staying off for a while. I am done with the rejection and let downs. I take full responsibility for my actions but I wish he would see that I am truly sorry I hurt his feelings. I guess guys can't handle sarcasm, especially when it involves anything intimate.
shexy Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 You went out with someone just twice and you were already intimate? As in already had sex? It's really hard to have a decent conversation through texting. You can hear tone of voice, so it's hard to tell if someone is mad or teasing. He probably couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic because there is no sarcasm font you can use while texting. It could just be you had sex after two dates and he looked at it as a hook up. 1
