Crap, I didn't realize you were forty when I wrote the above post. This is just embarassing. I thought you were eighteen. And, "texted" is not a contraction, no apostrophe needed.
agreed..Some women like being asked on dates via text...some ladies don't, but the ones that are more old fashioned prefer to be asked in person... I agree, you're thinking way too much and if i like her, just go on the date and she how she makes it up to you... btw, post pics please
it's just unnecessary. it would be better to say nothing. i think that's just a common courtesy thing, not just with dating. saying "huh" or "ok whatever" or "wow okay" just makes you look dumb.
I just started reading bits of this thread. Honestly, do people really do all this? Do people determine how long to wait and that they need to be in control of the terms of dating? SRSLY? It's a miracle the human race has survived this long.
Yeah, I thought it was only in TV shows like Seinfeld where this concept applied. If real, the OP is thinking too much into it and acting like a butthurt woman. Get over it, pansy, put on your big boy pants and ignore the imagined slight.
Sadly, aren't these games the kind of things that prove successful in relationships, and have resulted in our overpopulation? I mean, on some macrospecies level, as ridiculous as it is, if ain't broke, why fix it?
If you want to control the situation with someone who may have questionable interest then plan a night with the guys that starts at a bar and moves on to another location. Invite the chick to the bar and spend 15/20 minutes to gauge her interest, check the chemistry. If she's still cold then bail with your friends and forget about it. If it goes well then bail on your friends and take her out to dinner. Oh yeah, don't tell her you're meeting friends there or she might be emboldened to bring her own friend and then you're screwed. You just play it like you were there waiting and saw some of your buddies there. Sure it's calculating and manipulative but that's what you're going for right?
Whatever happened to a little honesty? You play games and you'll probably get that in return. How about, if you like her and want to get to know her, freaking do it! Stop reading in to everything. If it works great, if not, who cares, that's how life works. You find someone else, learn from the past and start over.
Note to self...if I ever want to piss a girl off, I should create the following sentence: Wow...ummm, yeah okay, whatever.
Isn't okay better than not saying nothing? At least when an okay is said, it gives acknowledgment that the person was listening. Whatever can be offensive, but when the person is saying the same thing for the 3rd or 4th time, I'll say whatever because I don't care to hear that person repeat the same thing a fifth or sixth time. For example, that guy said she had to bail on him. Wouldn't it be worse if he didn't reply? In most cases, doesn't staying silent = ignoring that person? For me as example, how some kids stay fixated on Vivi, I just ignore them because it's not even worth wasting my time replying to them.
wrong. Not saying anything would have been better. She could've assumed he read it and didn't respond. "wow. okay." I can't begin to describe why that is so bad. There is so much to those words, especially the wow. Why use wow? because you want to make the other person feel bad or let them know you are upset. Wow really isn't the correct response to a girl telling you she has to cancel plans to eat with her sister instead. Are you really wowed by that?? "wow. okay" can be interpreted as "I am really pissed at you and I doubt that you really had plans with your sister, I am appalled at your actions, how could you do this to me, this is your fault, and you owe me a big apology and I'm not going to text you until you apologize." The same applies from girls to girls. It's often how girls let other girls know they are pissed off at one another via text.
