Because, people are fickle nowadays. These online dating sites and apps are a hotbed of superficiality. People learn to +1 or -1 people for smallest things. You need to read the stats on these sites/apps because it will make you feel better. Often, more than 90% of the people on them are male and/or married and/or not truly interested and/or looking for an ego boost and/or trying to arrange an affair and/or just immaturely playing around. Yes, this is what society has come to. It's not your fault. You need to have a very thick skin and a bit of narcissism to catch the attention of basic bitches nowadays. Those types of girls aren't my style anyway. However, that's 99.9% of what you are going to find in that setting. Godspeed.
Yes, life is always going to be a ***** test. However, online dating is the only outlet for me to meet people in my area since I have moved here about nine months ago, and don't really have a huge friend network here. I have asked a bakery lady to pair me up with a girl, and she did, only to have that girl rudely tell me she was not interested.
Yes, I do know the downside to online dating. I'm at a bigger disadvantage because I'm a minority male, and I prefer women from my own ethnic or racial background.
Nevertheless, I did not give up on this girl who flaked out.
Many of you guys here said to forget about her because she didn't respond back as to when we should meet up.
I thought otherwise.
Yesterday, I went ahead and sent her a text, asking her what her availability was this week, since she was sick last week Thursday.
She responded to my text message! She said that she's busy packing up, cleaning her apartment, have been tired, etc.
So all in all, as an update to this girl I've met via online dating, I am going to be having dinner with her tomorrow night!
Will let you know what happens (I hope she doesn't cop out again, otherwise, it's the end).
Celt said:Gray if your feeling worried about your phone number could you try using another one for a time? My guess is youll get similar results anyway. I don't do internet dating but it looks like a numbers game and you must learn not to take it personally.
The positive side to this is you met someone who could be bothered to reply to your messages. Keep it going and try to be relaxed?
Hi Celt. No no, I'm not worried about my cell phone number. I hate to sound paranoid, but it seems like somebody already has access to my cell phone (i.e. NSA) and are able to read all my text messages to potential girls, and telling them outside of my scope, to not date me, etc.
But anyhow, I'm being more happy and positive today, as I took the courage to send this girl another set of text messages yesterday.
She responded to my text messages, and we chatted about what we did over the New year's weekend, etc.
I then asked when she was available to meet up this week for our "first date." She gave me couple of days she was available this week, and one of the days happen to be my day-off days.
I will be having dinner with her tomorrow evening! Cross my fingers, break a leg! LOL!
