This guy on a dating app asked me for my number. I gave it to him. He's sent me seven texts without me replying to one. I've been busy and forgot. Well, I wasn't going to respond to his "good morning" text because I find those to be a waste of time, especially since we haven't even met in person. Then, I was at work for eight hours. Then, I met up with some friends. Then, he started emailing me on the dating app.
SEVEN texts and new emails on the dating app. If a girl did this to a guy, people would call her "psycho." And it's fine when a guy does this to a girl?
You gave him your number, so he assumed you were interested. 7 texts may be excessive, but why hand out your number to someone you don't want to respond to? Although you are someone who doesn't look at their phone often, keep in mind that the norm today is that people are connected. It is safe to assume someone who hasn't responded in a whole day is ignoring you or not interested. You should just get off the apps, dating is clearly not your priority. Leave the apps for people who actually WANT to meet someone.
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested in a guy who texts you seven times without a response from you, I have a # for you. This guy seems unstable and pushy. And if you like that, you might want to raise your standards
DeleteYou completely disregarded the original anonymous question. From what I read it didn't seem like he/she is interested in this guy. From reading your previous posts, it doesn't seem like you're interested in dating. That's all well and good, but why waste your time with dating apps? Why give out your number to someone you probably already know you're not interested in?
ReplyDeleteI agree, seven texts and emails is extremely excessive, and women would most definitely be labeled as psycho if the tables were turned.
I thought I addressed this in an earlier post and it doesn't look like I did. So, I spend about 15 minutes a week on these dating apps. Even though finding a guy is not the #1 thing on my to do list, I feel like I should at least keep one eye open. If someone extraordinary crosses my path, yes, I'll see if it goes anywhere.
DeleteThe guy I gave my number to...I thought he could be interesting and worth meeting in person until he texted me seven times.
you are still single ? lol
ReplyDeleteyou are still reading the blog? lol
DeleteSo you are still single then?
ReplyDeleteIf you started dating at 30 in 2008 are you 39 now? (just asking because it says 'in my 30's' and not sure how long has that been there for.
I loved this blog. Thanks for sharing.
