I make mistakes of letting people back into my life because I decide to give them the benefit of the doubt. I am on OKCupid and I get a message from some guy saying that OKC decided we have a 92% compatibility, and 0% enemy potential. I took this as flirting and replied, "well what do you think?" His response was "Just friends?" I ignore thinking what was the point of this guy even messaging me, such a huge waste of time.
10 months later I get a message from him again. He likes my new pictures, he hasn't heard from me in a while, he wasn't ready to date before but now he is. I say to myself fine, he sucked before but I will give him another chance. We set a date to get together.
He calls me to ask if I want to walk around at an antique Flea market type thing in the city, I am reluctant at first since I am not feeling too well and could easily cancel because I am not in the mood to socialize, but i decide against it and he picks me up from my apartment. Conversation is good, he is dressed nicely, he makes me laugh and the flea market idea is a big hit. We walk around for a bit but he has pre-informed me that he has to be somewhere so he cant stay for long. I agree since I don't feel well anyways. He drops me off at home, I awkwardly sit in his car and don't know what to do so i thank him and get out.
That was Sunday. Tuesday comes along and after not hearing from him I get a text message asking me how my week is going. He knew I met friends for indian food, asked how it was and we flirted a bit but it was not more than a 10 text back and forth and then it stops. No big deal. Thursday comes along and I have no idea whats going on, so I text him asking whats up, we chat for 3 seconds and then it stops. All my friends tell me to just leave it until he calls me to ask me out again.
On Monday morning, I have not heard from him so I send him an emal that more-or-less says "are we going out again?" No response for a couple of hours. I take a lunch break with my coworker when my phone buzzes and I have a text from this guy. It says "no." Confused, I write back "No what?" and he responds 20 minutes later "No more dating." Shocked I show it to my coworker and we are both speechless. Is this how a guy lets you down? Has he not heard of full sentences? Don't get me wrong, I can handle rejection but rejection so rude like this and so abrupt just floored me. Seven hours later I decide I can't hold my tongue and I text him back saying that I think he could have been a little more classy and good riddance. Obviously I did not hear back.
Oddly enough, after Hurricane Sandy, a month and a bit after our conversation, I get a text from this guy asking if I was Ok. I responded Yes and left it at that. --------LA
