Cam7 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 So I went on a what I thought was a pretty good date with a nice 24 year old from POF. It was a morning date as it was all she could schedule around her work. We had coffee at a nice cafe and we had what seemed to be great conversion. I picked up on what I thought were signs of interest like her constantly playing with her hair, not covering up, constant eye contact and laughing at every stupid joke of mine. From what I could tell, everything was great. Also talked about things in the future, even that she would love to become at mum at some point. Then what happened I'm sure really ****ed me over, basically when I got the the car park before the date my car's battery died. I told her that after the date I'll have to head into the mall and look for one. She offered to help me out and we walked around looking for one. I think at this point I was just so embarrassed that I completely went boring. I did joke about how romantic battery shopping was and I got a cute laugh from that. We walked around for a bit not having found the battery. She started checking her phone and sent a message to a friend, apparently now she is going to spend the rest of the day with her. I think I was just somewhere else at this point, all I could think about was getting home. We ended the date a little while after and hugged and said goodbye. No kiss or cheek kiss. Generally there wasn't much physical contact. I also didn't mention anything about setting up another date, which I regret. When she was leaving she wanted me to let her know how the battery etc went. I ended up sorting it out and I texted her. She asked another question about it but I had heaps on that day and fell asleep. Didn't respond till next morning. That afternoon I texted her letting her know I had a fun time and we should do something again soon. No reply. Kinda feels like everything was going well until I bought up this problem and became a bit obessed with it. I guess she probably sees me as self centred and I lost interest in her? Not sure if there is any point trying to salvage this, I guess the ball is in her court. Not sure if I should blame the car or myself.
quidproquo89 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 it wasn't your fault about your car. But you've got to be careful not to let dates drag. I would have said goodbye at the car regardless. I don't think its your fault she just wasn't feeling it Move on to the next
DivorcedDad123 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 The car battery is part of life, and shouldn't have any bearing on how she feels for you. My truck had problems on the way to my first date with my gf. I text to let her know,thinking " She's gonna think I bailed on her." When I got to the resteraunt,she was still there waiting,had gotten us a table,and had no problems. The dinner turned into hours of conversation and afterwards she offered to come get me if I had more problems with the truck. Unfortunately,the truck made it home,and I missed a big opportunity(that she let me know afterwards). Her not responding to your text is telling though. A person who's interested makes an effort to respond,sooner or later. There's plenty more out there wanting to go on a date,so don't sweat it. 1
