BikerAccnt Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 It is to laugh. ]So, I don't know if any of you recall, but I think I mentioned about the woman who I went on one date with, then blew me off for the second, didn't return my calls, but then sent me an email a few weeks ago on OLD again.. Anyway last Friday she sent me this after I told he that we suck at the dating thing, she sent me this message Awww lets make it better I liked you I think life got in the way. I think it's worth making the effort . So I told her I’d call her next week (now this week) and we could set something up. She said great, she looked forward to it. Last night I called her, she didn’t answer, so I left a message. This morning I received this email. “I think you may have waited to long, sorry but I've lost interest in getting together take care and good luck to you” Seriously? Friday to Tuesday was too long? LOL. What is wrong with people? I'm assuming she probably is/was seeing someone else, and I have no problem with it and she's no longer interested in me. I would think she would have known that last Friday when she sent the email. It just cracks me up and I wanted to share. War stories are fun after a..
MidwestUSA Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Argh. Eight years of OLD here, off and on, in my forties. Got a book's worth of stories as well. She'll catch up to you when she's got no one else on the hook, wait and see! 1
Art_Critic Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 It all translates into she just had sex with another guy she was dating so you are out and the other guy is in. role reversal I would hope you would be sending the same email. 2
HappyLove Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 As the brilliant Maya Angelou says, 'People show you who they are THE FIRST TIME, believe them. You should have left her alone from when she blew you off from the second date. Yep, OLDing sucks! 3

That's kind of what I was thinking. What cracked me up is the "way" she said it. Trying to make out as if I was the one who screwed up by waiting an entire 4 days to call her back, after she said she was busy for the weekend anyway. I mean, she could have just said "thanks, but I've changed my mind and I don't think it's a good idea to go out" or something to that effect. The blame shift before there was even any blame to shift...is amusing. 2

I would think she would have known that last Friday when she sent the email. It just cracks me up and I wanted to share. War stories are fun after a.. Sounds like she found someone else. One of the risks of OLD is waiting too long to commit to a date. The mindset should be that she (especially the ladies) are being pursued by others, so there's competition and more pressure on the pursuer to make a date. It is likely that some other guy asked her out and set up a date over the weekend while you were waiting to call the following week. 1
FitChick Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Sounds like she found someone else. One of the risks of OLD is waiting too long to commit to a date. Although that is probably why some cancel at the last minute. They think, I'll say yes now but if someone better comes along, I'll cancel. Like booking a table in an expensive restaurant that is always full. "I can always cancel." 1
HappyLove Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 And if that's the case she'll be back because that date sucked after all. OLDing is CRAZY peoples expectations are just insane.
Author BikerAccnt Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Well, if someone did ask her out, and I lost out due to that, so be it. It's not like I am sitting around with nothing to do unless I have a date! I'm busy enough that it can be tough to fit a date in as it is. So if someone can't wait on me, I understand that. Life ain't fair. I'm also talking with 2 other women myself, so it's not as if she was the only one. I seldom wait more than 3 emails to ask someone out. I'm not on OLD to type back and forth. Though, its amazing how many people are.

Phantom888 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah I was doing OLD for 4 years so I'm pretty used to the games people play. You just gotta read between the lines....and kinda imagine yourself in her place. You are seeing 2-3 people, and you want to decide who to pick. Given they are all of equal qualities (looks, personalities, etc), you choose the one who shows the most interest. This is why passive people do horribly when it comes to OLD. Not that passive people are less desirable, but OLD requires one to make the moves quickly, and move on if things don't work. Understand that OLD is a fast pace activity. It's true that Friday to Tuesday is not a lot of time passed, but when she is seeing other people, each day makes a difference. She obviously made her choice, but didn't want to look like a tramp so she blamed it on your moving too slow. Don't worry....not all women on OLD is like this. If you catch a good one, she will respect you and try to make you want her as much as she wants you. It's almost like a dance, where you move forward and back until you get the right rhythm with the right partner. This lady wasn't good for you to begin with. You are lucky to dodge that bullet. Move on and have fun. Best of luck brotha.

You know how they say "a week is a long time in politics"? Guess what....a couple days is a long time in online dating. You are indeed right that she is seeing other people and perhaps meeting them and getting up to no good. They will tell you that they are not talking to / seeing other people...It's BS Nobody likes to be the backup plan
StanMusial Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I guess the early worm gets the bird. LOL. My friend who was on all the OLD sites told me that you have to act fast. She was "dating" a different guy every week. I just don't operate that way, I always had too much going on.
Thegreatestthing Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I'll translate "life got in the way" I couldn't find anyone better so I'll come back to you.

Any women who wishes me good luck gets a nasty message. Not sure why some women feel the need to act like employers
Keenly Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Any women who wishes me good luck gets a nasty message. Not sure why some women feel the need to act like employers Come on man... be the bigger person.
WP4046 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Come on man... be the bigger person. Nope, I feel I don't need luck and for some women to feel the need to say it makes my blood boil

Keenly Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Nope, I feel I don't need luck and for some women to feel the need to say it makes my blood boil Just try and remember that she is a bitch and she will end up with some total d bag loser. No need to respond.
Tayken Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Just try and remember that she is a bitch and she will end up with some total d bag loser. No need to respond. Hey Now.....you ought to know better than using such a derogatory term to describe someone. Silly bugger will be more appropriate as it's gender free
Keenly Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Hey Now.....you ought to know better than using such a derogatory term to describe someone. Silly bugger will be more appropriate as it's gender free The two terms are reversible for the opposite sex. One insult fits all Point is save the internet arguments for the forums.... you know.... where it matters.
Author BikerAccnt Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 You guys need to try and not take the rejection so hard. I don't. And I don't mind someone wishing me good luck. I've done it to women I've decided I don't want to see again. I'm being sincere when "I" say it, so I trust that they are being sincere when they say it to me. Why wouldn't I wish someone else luck? It's certainly a better way than some of you would have me sign off. What should I say "Bye Bitch?" Common. Besides, I have a coffee date on Sunday with someone else now anyway. I don't let rejection by someone I really don't know get me down. I wasn't just talking to one person myself. Life's to short to care what people I don't know think of me.
