Made me laugh, thanks

edit: It was the "Dr. No gf" that made me burst out in laughter, icing on the cake.

It's a feel I know all too well. You're welcome for the laugh

[–]playfulpenis 9 points10 points ago

I feel ya, man. These are so much worse than if there was no chemistry during the date at all. What a waste..

[–]grantmoore3d[S] 11 points12 points ago

Seriously, we had a great time talking, lots in common, flirting and ended the date with a kiss. Then I got the cold shoulder for weeks and gave up, followed by a message of disinterest. Awesome-sauce.

[–]TheMagicToolBus 12 points13 points ago

I had a similar thing happen to me, just slightly longer. I was seeing a girl for several weeks, during which we texted back and forth all the time (her initiating a lot of it). I made her laugh every time we would hang out, and I thought things were going pretty great. Then yeah, suddenly the texts come to a halt and get a lot shorter / less interested. She ends up saying she just isn't feeling the chemistry, and that's that.

A couple of weeks later she was "in a relationship" on Facebook (I didn't stalk her, we were still friends on Facebook).

I'm about 90% sure it was her ex, and I was just the rebound. Sucks man, but there's not much you can do.

[–]grantmoore3d[S] 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I have a feeling it's the same kind of scenario considering she mentioned her ex a couple of times during the date and explained how they had such wonderful Sundays together watching football. Usually I don't mind, but it seems pretty circumstantial, especially considering I asked her out three more times and each time there was an increasingly bizarre excuse. Fuck that noise, probably better off but it still sucks.

[–]Jiraiyasama 5 points6 points ago

She brought up her ex during the date? That's a red flag right there, doesn't matter whether a man or a woman does it. Not only should it be common courtesy to never talk about an ex while on a date, but it gives an indication that she's not over her ex, has some leftover baggage. I've been in your position before. It's unfortunately things didn't work out, but you are better off not inviting that kind of drama into your life.

[–]TheRedJester 1 point2 points ago

I don't think that's a guaranteed rule because it does really depend on the context and frequency of bringing up the ex. A little anecdote relevant to the conversation is one thing, but frequent references or talking about how they had such a wonderful time watching football on Sundays is definitely a red flag.

I admit, I went on a date that I didn't realize was a date. I thought it was going to be with a couple of friends - but nope, only one guy appeared. So in order to deter his interest (instead of being blunt, like I should've looking back), I talked about my ex...too much. It was really embarrassingly bad and I feel bad. :(

[–]soochosaurus 7 points8 points ago

there there pal, I wish you the best of luck on the next one!

[–]BrenFar 4 points5 points ago

You should probably send her this. What do you have to lose?

[–]grantmoore3d[S] 7 points8 points ago

Hahaha, that would actually be a pretty funny way to reply. Next rejection I'll remember to do that!

[–]codebeats 2 points3 points ago

Well, your dignity, but if you find yourself asking this question, that's already gone.

[–]hiyosilver64 1 point2 points ago

I second this plan!

[–]Eloquium 4 points5 points ago

Ah yes, the one way traffic of feels.

Have a long distance brohug!

The data packet of love was not transfered, destination host unresponsive.

Damn it! Better re-route some power from the digestive system!

[–]vignouts 2 points3 points ago

better now than later bro. all that remains are the fuckin scars in my mind.

[–]konrad9 2 points3 points ago

Better than ignoring you, or going on another date and not telling you.

[–]mikef55 1 point2 points ago

You obviously didn't have a very good first date...

[–]FranklinandbashEd 2 points3 points ago

For some girls it's all an act.

[–]thyfearfulsymmetry 1 point2 points ago

This is my new favorite sad .gif for Facebook threads that include nothing but reaction .gifs. Thank you! Sorry some girl was a twat, we're not all like that.

[–]grantmoore3d[S] 2 points3 points ago

I only just found it, thought it was perfect for just a combination of resignation and disappointment. Enjoy and spread the sad-baby-cheer

[–]thyfearfulsymmetry 0 points1 point ago

Do you know what it is from? I can't stop watching!

It's even better than the gif!

[–]thyfearfulsymmetry 0 points1 point ago

Aww that's so sad and amazing at the same time. I feel like a horrible person because my first thought after this was how much I would want to say something to totally let the kid down just to see this expression.

[–]assesasinassassin -1 points0 points ago

Try the silence, saying nothing pretending like nothing happened after. I don't know where to put my feels. :/

[–]S_T_A_R_F_O_X 1 point2 points ago

Gabriel, Não Pode!

[–]Ancientdinko 1 point2 points ago

a hooker will turn that frown upside down....AND they're cheaper in the long run too!

[–]brick-geek 1 point2 points ago

If it floats, flies, or fucks....Rent It!

[–]NorseGod -1 points0 points ago

Sounds like that date wasn't so great for her; or maybe she figured you're kinda emo and wanted to see if you'd get all sad and clingy, or act like a man.
