Whatever you said insulted her, so let go. Rather than look for "interesting stories," you need to get to the point of a date. Make a concerted effort to shift away from online banter and move to meeting in person.

Echoing this!! Definitely one of the good guys. Keep going max and try to not take such things personally, you did absolutely nothing bad or wrong here. She posted her occupation on her profile, complete with a pic and weather map. You commented on it, politely, hoping to start a conversation. With OLD, that's exactly what you should do! Her snarky and condescending response was all on HER and who cares why. She's obviously not a very happy person. Simply move forward is all you can do. Edited December 11, 2022 by poppyfields 2

It's so much easier to form rapport and get to know someone over time or activities rather than these messages and profiles. Yep, that's exactly why MeetUp would be good for you - it's IRL events/activities. If you're both at one which you have some genuine interest in, then you've got a shared interest to talk about as a bonus.
flaxcapacitor Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 I presume that she has to deal a lot with guys just thinking 'weathergirl'. Not that you're one of those guys but she could be a bit oversensitive to any reference to her career whatsoever. I have some sympathy for her if that's the case but she has to deal with the issue if it's causing her to just assume every guy is the same, jump to conclusions and push guys away. As for you, the fact that you're bothered about it suggests issues with your own self-worth. I know a lot of people would just immediately know they were just being nice and she was being rude, but I guess you've been worried that you really were the a**hole in that situation and were seeking either to justify yourself to her and not have her think you're just another misogynist with a weathergirl fetish or get reassurances on here that you did nothing wrong. Rest assured you did nothing wrong.
