How bad does my final text message sound? She didn't reply?

Post Reply New Topic

I understand your situation. I was talking to this woman on POF.com and our convo's were pretty good. I really want to meet her, but I don't think she wants to.

And I agree with your last statement. I wish girls would do that with me, too.

Attention readers, here's how the whole conversation went, so there won't be any more confusion about this girl:

March 25th, 2017:

HER: Hey this is _ from okcupid u sent me ur number. Go on there I just sent u message so uk who I am lol

ME: Hi _! I'm _ from OkCupid. I got your message.

HER: How are u handsome?

ME: I'm feeling fine, how are you today, gorgeous?

ME: I'm gonna be straightforward: Do you wanna meet up for a date sometime next week?

HER: Really, would you like that?

ME: Hey it's _, sorry for the wait! I turned my phone off 'cause I thought you were done... :\ Yeah, absolutely. After all, isn't that what we signed up for? lol If you'd like to meet up for a date soon, feel free to choose a time and place.

May 3rd, 2017:

ME: Hey, it's _. So I went on OkCupid today after a long break and you told me to text you. Not sure if you're aware of this, but I'm new to online dating. In fact, I've only been on 2 dates in my entire life. I don't know how you'll respond to this, or if you'll even respond at all, but as I've said before, if you're interested in meeting up somewhere, just tell me the day, time and place. I swear, I'm actually a nice person. I'm not asking for much. Just one innocent date with somebody. I'm being real here. I mean, isn't that we signed up for? I just want to experience a relationship. Don't you?

HER: Hey thanks for hitting me up. Yes that sounds nice and all but I don't even know if you are real you could be some old grandpa for all I know lol

ME: Are you freaking kidding me? Is that what the hesitation is all about? Of course I'm real. How would you feel if I said that YOU aren't real? People are so paranoid these days. I'll send you a selfie right on the spot.

ME: (QUICK SELFIE POSE)

ME: (QUICK SELFIE POSE)

HER: You're fine. But tell me more about yourself and where do you stay by? I'm in the burbs

ME: I live in (x). (x)th & (x), near (store). I'm just chilling at the library right now.

HER: I'm gonna buy a car soon so it will be easier to see each other but for now we'd just have to meet up somewhere

ME: (Deleted text, something about working at Wendy's)

HER: That's what's up, it doesn't matter where you work as long as every week you counting more money. You're only 30 min from me.

HER: Is there any way you can take a train to me?

HER: Or at least meet halfway? I'm at the store with my mom she gets pissed when I text sorry

HER: If I'm too far for u just let me know

ME: No, you're not too far from (x).

ME: I mean it depends on where you're at. It would be a lot easier for me to take a bus?

HER: I looked it up on Internet it says bus train bus lol or 30 min in the car go on the Internet and type in (x)th and (x) to (x) and click the train option it will tell you exactly which bus or train to take

ME: Ok

ME: Um, I won't know what bus/train to take if I don't have a specific destination... :\

HER: (Address, suburb)

ME: I just called (transportation), and I've come to the conclusion that it would be easier for me to just take a cab. However, I don't have the money for a cab at the moment...

ME: I suppose we'll have to meet sometime in the near future. I'll text you the day when I can get a cab.

ME: Btw, I live on (address) in case you wanted to know.

HER: Nah cab would be worse , honestly all you have to do is go downtown and take the train from (x) to (suburb)

HER: Ok

HER: Yea when would I be able to see u?

ME: I would have to take 2 buses to get to the (x) Station, which is almost $5. Then a round trip on a train is $13. Then 2 buses again is another $5... So I'll have to wait until I have the money to make this trip. Could be tomorrow, possibly. I'll text you and let you know until then.

HER: Ok I can ask my girl if she would stop you off at home or we can meet downtown?

ME: Wait, you can have someone drive me there?

ME: Or I guess we could meet at the (x) Station?

HER: If you come here I can get someone to drive you home like I can ask my girl or we can meet at (x) station

ME: I think (x) Station would be best. Right now I'm at Burger King on (x) across the street from (store). I'll have to ask my parents for money to get to the (x) Station.

HER: Ok

HER: What are you looking or hoping for from a woman or more specifically me?

ME: Well I think you're beautiful and I just want to experience a relationship with someone. I'm 21 and still, I've never had a girlfriend. I just want to know what it's like. I'm tired of asking for girl's numbers and not hearing back, or screwing up the date by not being socially entertaining enough. I've only been on 2 dates. One when I was 15, and the other with a co-worker when I was 19. If we do meet up in the near future, I just wanna let you know that I'm not the best at socializing with strangers until I warm up to them. I know that's a problem for some girls. But hopefully you could at least try to help break the ice. I'm just keeping it 100% real. Straight from the heart. Have you ever seen Sheldon on Big Bang Theory? Hopefully you understand where I'm coming from. Also, I just don't have the money to travel right now. Plus my parents are being unreasonable... I hope you understand. I would still like to meet you one day.

Ach...dude, you totally HAD her!! !

Oh well... Yeah, a bit of unnecessary self-disclosure is the main thing I see there. But also you got into a mini-argument over meeting up, plus arguing cost, etc. Totally unnecessary. That seems to have sent the impression you didn't really want to meet, and she just lost interest.

Just remember this lesson for next time! Keep at it! You'll get the right girl when it's time.

Just shows how single statements could give the wrong impression. I'd agree with AngelRho. You totally had her.

I don't think she is looking for an ONS. After all, she suggested you could meet half-way, or at some station. That's not a location where you easily could have an ONS, but it is a good place to meet somebody and get to know them.

I'd go with her suggestion of meeting half-ways, or at some station. That's a good place for a first meeting.

"Why don't you go to university?"

Well, you see, I'm kinda-sorta taking this College class... Even though this one girl technically isn't IN my class, I asked for her number and I didn't hear back from her. Ironically, I asked for this b's number the same day that I texted the girl from the dating site. If I ever see her again I'm gonna put her on blast. Get this: She wants to teach kids with disabilities... Fancy that...... I'd love to give that b a piece of my mind. Oh yeah, and I took a photography class not too long ago. Most of the people there were middle-aged adults and senior citizens.

Don't worry, it's cool. I don't mind sharing this stuff. I rarely get to socialize with people. It makes me feel human.

"Negative generalizations/perceptions about women will hinder you, and if you want a woman for more than boosting your ego, then you should look for more than a desperate woman. The problem with relationships based on desperation is, either one or both parties are disregarding the subject of compatibility, and so the relationships often turn toxic. Have some self respect and standards, and expect the other person to have self respect and standards as well."

I didn't really mean the thing about desperate girls. It's the internet and sometimes when I'm frustrated, I say things that are a little overboard... Then when I look back, I'm like, did I really just say that? However, it is true that most girls/women are lying, deceiving and two-faced whenever a random guy asks for their number. I could name over a dozen girls off the top of my head who've lead me on instead of being honest from the start.

In fact, I've only met one girl, ONE, back in High School who said to me "I can't give you my number because I don't know you." Why can't all girls/women just be honest from the start, instead of leading a guy on, then lying, flaking, hanging up, or not answering like we're a pesky telemarketer? That's rude, mean, hateful, and just plain evil. Liars deserve to go to hell.

After all the times I've been ripped off, 21 years of being single, can you blame me for being desperate? Most neurotypical people don't understand what loneliness does to the psyche. I literally NEED a relationship in order to heal, and get a better understanding of the female gender so I won't hate them anymore and see them as human beings instead of con artists from hell. I sure hope that makes sense.

"Just shows how single statements could give the wrong impression. I'd agree with AngelRho. You totally had her."

"HAD"? She still wants to meet up with me. Look at my update.

"Why do you use such crude methods anyway? I'd NEVER ever ask a girl for her number, and even if I got it, I would not dare to call her anyway, so why would I bother with it?" "Crude"?! It's normal! If you were single, then why wouldn't you ask for a fine chick's number? Even if the hottest super model gave you her number, you still wouldn't call her back?! Why?!

"I doubt she would if she read your hateful comments about women."

You got a problem with that? I can say whatever the hell I want about whoever I want. Women can say "men are evil", but men can't say hateful things about women when they've had it rough? What, I can't speak ill of women just because they're women? What are you, a male feminist? Get outta here. You're full of crap.
