Melrose78 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 15 to 30 mins and she reacted that way? Thank the Gods that happened! Too much drama for something so small.
Logo Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) She's clearly a NJ but you are showing bad judgement by committing time and money to a fancy dinner with a person you've never met. I'll guess you haven't been online dating for long. After a few lousy first dates you'll figure it out. Be glad you saved yourself the time and the expense. If you do hear from her again I suggest if you want to satisfy your curiosity and still want to meet her, you tone down that first date to a casual, brief meetup at a bar or coffee shop. Of course when you suggest it she'll probably flip out on you again but I'm getting way ahead of myself here. This was my favorite part :lmao: She overreacted, but I can understand her irritation with the delay since she was the one who made the reservation. She made an effort and felt unappreciated since she wasn't given a reason. But she overreacted. That's for sure. I think the OP dodged a bullet with this one. Next time, take the lead and agree to meet for drinks. Dinner that requires reservations without having met the person is putting a lot of faith in OLD. That's a big no no with OLD. OLD is to dating as snorting water through a straw is to drinking. It might get you want you need, but it can be a painful, if not a harrowing, experience. :lmao: Edited September 24, 2019 by Logo
elaine567 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 You gave her an "out" and she grabbed it with both hands. If this is the woman from far away who was only going to be in town for a few days then she probably just changed her mind. She may have cancelled the reservation BEFORE your text... Why are you bothering pursuing long distance people? Waste of your time and money.
Maddie82 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 She was looking for an excuse to not go. I think this is spot on. This is exactly what it was. Bullet dodged. 2

Why are you bothering pursuing long distance people? Waste of your time and money. This was the one who was insulted by a joke I did over text and I did a few phone calls with. The one visiting from out of town I met and actually really enjoyed meeting her and thought we got along really well. She said she might consider moving where I am but she didn't disclose on her profile she already has children and doesn't want more, which is the opposite of what I want.
smackie9 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Things happen. Life isn't perfect.. My point exactly. Life isn't perfect, people don't always behave appropriately, but being a dip $%^& back learns no one a lesson it enables the rude behavior. And you can't tell me any different that the OP wanted to needle her back. The OP created something to the point he had to come here to talk to us about it, in hopes he will get confirmation that his actions were justified. IMO You let them win when you give them a response. Better to ignore/not engage/ditch them and go forward....let it roll of yer back.
