She might have thought you went to the same Applebee's to remember her or something, sounds arrogant, but some people are that way. Also, if you text or email or call someone a couple times and they don't contact you back, it's best to back off. Give them a couple days to get back to you, if they don't, chalk it up to a bad experience and move on. Constantly trying to contact someone- especially after just one date- is considered stalker behavior, and should be avoided.

Good luck on your trip and better luck next time.flowerforyou

look man, just from what i read it seems that you came across as a little needy. you called and texted her how many times before she would respond?
call once, text once. if she wants to get back to you she will. have you ever seen a movie where a person calls another person and leaves like 50 messages for them? it's a little creepy and it reeks of desperation.
she said she wanted to take it slow so you shouldn't have expected to hear from her the next day or even the day after that.
i'm pretty sure you blew it on this one. go on your trip and have a good time. find someone else when you get back.

Honestly, yeah, if you call and text that many times after the first date, it comes off as being a little stalkerish, especially if she hasn't responded. If she wanted, she would have responded after the first text or call. Even if she was interested but just busy, that many times? And making the assumption she was hurt or something? That's just a little much. Go, live your life. You'll meet someone else, someone who's a better match for you, communication-wise flowerforyou

Girls take crap too literal these days. They should text you if they are not interested, instead of being retarded about it, and not give vague hints you have to wonder about.

Those kinds of people need to go play into oncoming traffic.

Unfortunately this isn't uncommon. As a rule on the first couple of dates I would call once and maybe email or text once (not in close succession. If neither receives a response, then let it go. The chances that something has happened to them are very slim. The chance that she's blowing you off is nearly 100%. And when someone is trying to avoid you and you, despite your good intentions, are trying to contact her, she will see it as stalking....mainly because she is looking for an excuse.


Word of advice: If you're calling a cell, it can get lost. I've lost mine before and had another one die.

Also, for emails - my computer died and I got another one a couple of months later.





Still I say try on two different mediums, once on each, then let it go.

What are the odds that you lost access to both your phone and your email, and at the very same time as you were starting to date? And, if that did happen, and you wanted to continue the relationship, wouldn't you, knowing your phone and email avenues were down, try to contact the other party yourself?

I think the odds are far greater that she was ignoring him.

bitter much? i guess men don't take anything literal? and we've already covered why alot of women don't say they're not interested; because desperate, needy, dominating, arrogant men who think any woman should be interested in him simply because he's interested in her and deigns to grace her with an email, text, or unwanted advance on the street won't take no for an answer.:tongue:

I agree with this (well, not the traffic part laugh ). People should be upfront and honest. If you're busy, say so, if you're not interested, say so. It saves a lot of angst on both parts. Granted, once you say you're not interested and they keep contacting you, that a whole other topic laugh

yeah that's what i was trying to tell him, it sounds good in theory to tell someone to just say i'm not interested. but once you do that, you open up the floodgates for stupidity- "why not?" "i'm a nice guy, you must be a b!tch cause you're not into me" and on and on. if i ignore someone they usually give up and go away.

I see what you're saying. I think the odds are greater that she was ignoring him after what she said.

When I lost my cell, btw, my numbers were in my cell and no where else. slaphead
