I need some insight into whether this is emotional game playing or not.

 

After chatting with a girl on OLD I received this message...

 

<ReadySettyGo> I think this will be my last week at eharmony not going to renew it. Text me 0413###### so we can catch up for a coffee. Have a nice weekend

 

So, I text her the next day but receive nothing back (now 5 days later).

I had a similar experience with another girl as well.

 

The most obvious explanation is they are not interested..... by responding I am simply boosting their self esteem?

On the other hand, is there is something I am missing here?

Perhaps I'm clutching a straws but maybe someone can impart some wisdom.

Is your text something like " hey this blah blah blah just wanted to say hello and give.you my number " ?

 

Or is it weird.

Are you sure they are real? That is the oldest trick on OLD - "my membership expires...email me here instead, text me here, etc.

I replied....

Was kind of you to give me

your number... thank you!

A coffee sounds great :)

Yes, they are real. Googled their number and they are legit.

In the process realised how discerning we should be when giving out our numbers. Found my number (and name) on the net as well!
