Yep. I’ve experienced that. People changing their minds about you for no apparent reason.

I’ve never felt a sense of “entitlement.” That’s Elliot Rodger territory. But I’ve felt sad and frustrated, nevertheless.

But I never got bitter. I guess it’s a “defensive” reaction to dismiss someone changing their minds as “cuckoo.”

But when I’m called “weird,” I tend not to feel objective at the moment, and do feel that a person changing their minds at a moment’s notice (after expressing a strong fondness for you) is “cuckoo.”

Upon reflection, though, I grow to feel that “this is people, in a nutshell,” and just move on to the next person, my faith in the possibility of love intact.


People are like that, Making a scene on a date really isn’t acceptable, so people politely go on it and let people know afterwards.

She probably did like him a lot, on paper, politely did the date when she realised she didn’t like him in real life and told him the next day.

That’s not crazy. Everyone does it.

He deserves better, but she isn’t crazy.

I agree. Mine was sort of a knee-jerk reaction.
