i was planning to meet someone from here and he bailed on me when he found out i wasn't a girl

i've lost track of how many people on this site have messaged me only to stop when they found out i'm not actually female

complaining about being lonely and whatnot but turns out they just want sex.

do people only want to meet girls or what? guys like me don't deserve a chance huh?


I've had people here message me and seem very friendly, but eventually ask about my relationship status, saying it's just out of curiosity, and then stop chatting with me when I tell them I'm a nonromantic asexual. So yes, it does seem like a good number of people are actually looking for romantic relationships, not friendships. I wish they'd at least be a bit more upfront about it so I didn't keep thinking I've made a friend when I haven't really :(


well i mostly look for friendships here since i know any hope of finding a partner here is a pipe dream. i agree people should disclose their intentions early since i was really looking forward to having coffee or something with another person from here. this guy was planning to drive two hours to meet me so he wasnt all that local either.

there was only one person on this website that's from around here. that i know of.

she got banned and most of us here know who she is.

also i hardly think that romantic relationships and friendships are mutually exclusive, you can't really have a meaningful relationship with someone you can't be friends with first.


I agree on that. I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of ever having a romantic relationship (since my development is off, it's entirely possible I just don't want one yet), and if I do, that's how I picture it - starting as a friendship first. I think that's probably the best way to form a solid, lasting bond. And a good, healthy, lasting romantic relationship seems to also be part friendship - it seems to work best when people can be both friends and lovers.

ok so who's in the wrong here?


i'm applying for a study abroad program for next summer and i've already made the NON REFUNDABLE $450 payment as part of the application. to finalize the application though you need to complete an interview with the program director who is also a professor of mine

i emailed him on tuesday at 5 pm saying i can meet at 10 am on a wednesday (on tuesday at 9, he sent out an email asking us to confirm a time monday to wednesday from 9-11).
i was thinking he meant next wednesday - not the day after (today) so that's what my response meant.

but at 8 AM today he sent me a reply saying he can meet at 10:20. i didn't see this email until 10:30. i was waiting for a response all night and wasn't planning on getting up earlier than i normally do.

on wednesdays, he has office hours at 4 PM as well so i sent him an email this morning after i realized i missed it apologizing and asking if we could have the interview then.

i didn't get a response all day. i went to his office - and he never showed up. usually he announces whenever he's not gonna be available for office hours so i was really surprised and disappointed and i'm freaking out wondering whether or not i've been disqualified for missing the appointment and i cannot relax.

did i waste $450 or..???


SOMEONE HELP

Say there, Mr. Ferret, what have you done with Ezra. The going story is that you spent the last few weeks interrogating him at a black site in Kyrgyzstan.
