Two dates. The first one was coffee, last night was dinner at a returaunt of her choice. Seemed like we connected on many levels. I texted her and said, "I had a great time! :)..etc." She texted me back, "I did not. Please don't message me again." I replied, "Alright, no problem. Hope you find that special someone." Well, just gotta keep going. It bothered me for 10 seconds, but not any longer. That's life, I just brush it off my shoulder, lol.

For all you other people who take rejection so personally, don't! :)

Yep she was honest so a plus to her. However, what do you think happened? Cuz if you had a great time, and she obviously didn't and you didn't pick up on that, what went wrong?

that's the way the cookie crumbles

although I wouldn't have texted her. I would have called or something. Texting takes all the personableness out of it

why cant you talk to the person instead of texting.

I'm sure she knew by the end of dinner that she didn't want to go any farther. She should have at least paid her half of the bill. Gold digger!grumble

Wow! That's odd that the two of you were so far apart that you didn't know she was not having a good time. Perhaps she actually was enjoying herself but then second-guessed herself? spock

And I for one do not object to the after-dinner text message. I love texting. I keep in touch with my friends and family that way. I would not have minded the text after a date! A phone call later on would be very nice as well but the text is immediate.

Any way I'm sorry things ended that way but you seem to have a good attitude about it. Good luck in finding someone who's reading the same page you are!!flowerforyou

Purrfectly said, Isaac! drinker

Just a hint, next time call rather than text. Texting is not a good idea when dating. It's OK for friends but it sure doesn't make a person feel special when you "lazy out" and text. winking

I'm sorry you guys were so far off from having the same experience. Keep dating -- it will happen! flowerforyou

Good attitude

You really don't know if there's anything there until you meet in person at least once, or twice, but you have little control over attraction and compatibility.

I found her comments rude, and her use of a text to end it, cold and uncaring, so you're better off cutting bait now! lol

Date on!

No, I think that she was thinking as she drove home. She said her car was old, a 2005 Lexus GS, lol. I told her mine is a 1999 Nissan Altima with 351,000 miles on it. I did have fun, but went home, and didn't really see myself with her. Seems like I am happy with the simple things in life, lol. I did enjoy the conversation, it did seem like when I thought about it at home, she was high maintanence. Oh well. =) We did discuss relationship stuff, but it isn't really relevant.

I would of called her. I would rather leave a text than calling someone at work. I can say anything in a text and in real life too. She was driving to work. She has a 1 1/2 hour commute. She said last night she had to work today anyway. =) Otherwise, yes, I would of called her. Id rather talk on the phone than text...it has more emotion and meaning.

I agree with this. I went out on a date recently and the guy emailed me to tell me he had a good time. He emailed me to tell me he wanted to see me again. The only time he called is when I asked him to, in order to decide on what we were doing for the date. Even then, he emailed first. I guess some people are afraid of the phone?
