[7 - No tomorrow]

I still don't see the mistake I made here

You arranged to meet a flakey no-mark.

You arranged to meet a flakey no-mark.

Yeah, so it seems. Still, I was asked out - that's a step in the right direction!

 

[Jill Hives]

I was asked out on a coffee date twice recently by the same person. The first one was cancelled as I was on my way ("Oh, i'm a bit tired") and yesterday, after being asked again, I sent a text as I was leaving the house to check where we were to have this coffee and I have still not received a reply, over a day later. I should defo not agree to go a third time but I probably will as I'm desperate.

Wishy-washy. I am generally against wishy-washy but I can be sometimes. When I am unsure of the reason of why someone asked me, I dread it. Is it a date? Is it just friendly? Unknown is awful so I avoid. If I know one way or the other I'd never be wishy-washy and cancel. Planning a drink or coffee days/weeks off, fuck off. You want to go or you don't.I'm too tired for coffee and am home. Seriously? If it were me, I wouldn't bother a third time.

I'd probably go back a third time, even though its the total wrong thing to do

 

[Lili Marlene]

How ridey is she?

or he for that matter.


obviously this should be a major consideration

If someone has canceled twice, they probably don't want to ride you.
Or at least that's how it's played out for me.

Getting cancelled on at the last minute and then just completely blanked is not a direction to be happy about.

 

[Lili Marlene]

maybe they're just following the rules

Dating's new rules - Herald.ie

Rule: Wait at Least Four Hours to Answer a Guy's First Text and a Minimum of 30 Minutes Thereafter

Four hours is for the youngest set -- for those in college and women in their early to mid-twenties who grew up with texting and Facebook. The older you are the more you should try to wait -- a 30-year-old should wait more like 12 hours, and a 40-plus-year-old should wait a day to reply.

if so then forget it because they're clearly a spa

If someone has canceled twice, they probably don't want to ride you.
Or at least that's how it's played out for me.

oh i just meant good looking. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

but fair point all the same

Mike: So how long do I wait to call?
Trent: A day.
Mike: Tomorrow.
Sue: Tomorrow, then a day.
Trent: Yeah.
Mike: So two days?
Trent: Yeah, I guess you could call it that, two days.
Sue: Definitely, two days is like industry standard.
Trent: You know I used to wait two days to call anybody, but now it's like everyone in town waits two days. So I think three days is kind of money. What do you think?
Sue: Yeah, but two's enough not to look anxious.
Trent: Yeah, two's enough not to look anxious. But I think three days is kind of money. You know because you...
Mike: Yeah, but you know what, mabey I'll wait 3 weeks. How's that? And tell her I was cleaning out my wallet and I just happened to run into her number.
Charles: Then ask her where you met her.
Mike: Yeah, I'll ask her where I met her. I don't remember. What does she look like? And then I'll asked if we fucked. Is that... would that be... T, would that be the money?
Trent: You know what. Ha ha ha Mike, laugh all you want but if you call too soon you might scare off a nice baby who's ready to party.
Mike: Well how long are you guys gonna wait to call your babies?
Trent, Sue: Six days.

[It's 2:32am, and Mike decides to call Nikki, a girl he met just a few hours ago]
[Nikki's machine picks up: Hi, this is Nikki. Leave a message]
Mike: Hi, uh, Nikki, this is Mike. I met you at the, um, at the Dresden tonight. I just called to say that I had a great time... and you should call me tomorrow, or in two days, whatever. Anyway, my number is 213-555-4679 -
[the machine beeps]
Mike: [Mike calls back, the machine picks up]
Mike: Hi, Nikki, this is Mike again. I just called cuz it sounded like your machine might've cut me off when I, before I finished leaving my number. Anyway, uh, and, y'know, and also, sorry to call so late, but you were still at the Dresden when I left so I knew I'd get your machine. Anyhow, uh, my number's 21 -
[the machine beeps]
Mike: [Mike calls back; the machine picks up again]
Mike: 213-555-4679. That's it. I just wanna leave my number. I didn't want you to think I was weird or desperate, or... we should just hang out and see where it goes cuz it's nice and, y'know, no expectations. Ok? Thanks a lot. Bye bye.
[hangs up]
Mike: [Mike walks away from the phone... then walks back and calls again; once again, the machine picks up]
Mike: I just got out of a 6-year relationship, Ok? That should help explain why I'm acting so weird. I just wanted you to know that. It's not you, it's me. I'm sorry... This is Mike.
[hangs up]
Mike: [Mike calls back, the machine picks up again]
Mike: Hi, Nikki, this is Mike. Could you just call me when you get in? I'm gonna be up for awhile and I'd just rather speak to you in person instead of trying to fit it all into -
[the machine beeps]
Mike: Fuck!
[Mike calls back, gets the machine again]
Mike: Uh, Nikki? Mike. It's uh, uh, it's just, uh, this just isn't working out. I think you're great, but maybe we should just take some time off from each other. It's not you, it's me. It's what I'm going through, alright? It's uh... it's only been 6 months ...
Nikki: [picks up] Mike?
Mike: [very cheerful] Nikki? Great! Did you just walk in or were you listening all along?
Nikki: Don't ever call me again.
[hangs up]
Mike: Wow. I guess you're home.
