Ok so here's one to ponder. Say you meet someone at a neutral location to meet for the first time. They bring their kid which is totaly ok and you try to have a nice little conversation but anyting further then that can't happen(not anyones fault). Time ends and you two have to leave and you hug and kiss good by. Then a few more texts that same day then NOTHING...wouldn't it be better to just send a message and say "hey i had fun, but i don't think this will go any further" or just ignor the person and hope your non-replying will out last thier attempts at finding out what went wrong? Is it just me or have manners in dating fallen completly off the map...

I feel ya... I think they are chicken! Don't want to own up to their feelings maybe? They think they are taking the easy way out. But, I still think it is the chicken way out.

I've never heard of a woman bringing their child with them to meet someone.
Most women don't want the children to meet anybody they're dating until they know the man better. I won't even let my child meet the man until I'm in a relationship. Just my two cents. |

While it is crazy to bring your child on a date it's possible they do not have anyone to watch their child. This happens quite a bit with single parents. It may also be possible that they are not ignoring you but their phone is broken, they may have some emergency going on in their family or their phone may not be in service. If they are ignoring you then yes that is very cowardice but do not take it personal. It's their loss and I am a strong believer in Karma.

There is no date if I don't have a babysitter. |

I won't even let my child meet the man until I'm in a relationship. Just my two cents. i agree with that...I've been told to do both, ignore and give an "I had fun, but..." when I ask friends for advice on what to do, but I've also had the ignore done to me.... sometimes I don't even notice it happened, I think its rude but sometimes there is simply nothing else to say if they keep asking you what happened whats going on...then tell them Oh I dunno, universal personal delima... |

Bringing the kid on the date was exceedingly poor form. This one was destined for weirdness. Next lady.

It's not ok to bring a child into it, especially when it's a stranger!
Well it was only going to be coffee, but still it was kind of weird to see her show up with her kid...nothing against her kid, we just couldn't get into a deep conversation or anything cause he was bored and doing what kids do when their bored...still, a "F#$% off" stop messenging me would have been better then being ignored...at least that way i'm not sitting around twideling my thumbs....but you live and you learn..lol |

I'm a single parent as well and I don't even let my children meet the person until I know it's going to be a serious relationship.

Bring her child to the meeting was poor judgement on her part. thay would have ruined the mood for me.

Bringing a child on a date should tell you exactly what sort of judgment this person has.
Piss poor. Move on. |

Is it just me or have manners in dating fallen completly off the map... I agree that bringing her kid along was a bad move. But to answer what you were asking... When did you send the message? How long has it been without her responding? Ever consider the possibility that the message failed to be received? Based off of experience, she's hesitant about moving forward, and that's why she brought her kid along. Best bet is to text her and say "It was great meeting you, but I don't think is going to work. I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors." It'll confirm for her that nothing was going to happen and that you're not bitter about it. OG |
