Seriously?
Dude. No way.
So, in addition to all the freaks and weirdos you run into online, there’s a species of male online daters that are a little harder to spot, the evaders.
They are usually pretty hot… And very friendly from the get-go. Fairly forward and seemingly, very interested. However, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, they are slow to make plans to meet.
And there’s not just one kind of evader. They might have a wife or girlfriend and are just talking to girls on the internet to pad their egos (this happens more than you would thing). Or they could be socially inept and totally terrified of meeting someone from the internet. It’s possible they could be marginally interested in you, but just bored enough to email you and talk with you.
I have spent this week, carefully overthinking this particular cat. We’ll call him Cycle Dude. He is super hot. Like, rawr. He is a cyclist. He has a white collar job. His profile was well-written and our initial conversation was pretty excellent.
Then… this…
Cycle Dude: and oh yeah are you busy this weekend?
me: i’m free on saturday night
Cycle Dude: ah hm, pencil me in
me: pencil?
Cycle Dude: uh huh
me: …alright… if i get asked out in pen before saturday, i’ll be sure to let you know
This conversation occurred on Tuesday. I wanted to wait until Saturday to create this post because I wanted to make sure I was right about him.
(For the record: I am almost ALWAYS right about men. I have this really strong intution and can generally read people within a short time of knowing them. Also for the record: I was dead on about this dude.)
On Thursday, we had this conversation:
Cycle Dude: what is saturday around 6pm looking like?
me: saturday looks good
me: i work until 3, but i’m free still
Cycle Dude: ah ok cool
It should also be noted that this guy asked for my phone number on Tuesday. I got a text later on Tuesday, saying hello and asking about my day, but didn’t get a response when I replied back.
Do you think he called to follow up about Saturday?
Dude. Seriously?! There might be girls out there who are going to sit and wait for you to call… Who are pining away all week, just anticipating the possibility of maybe going on date with you…
I am not that girl. This bitch made some other plans and deleted this cat from her messenger list.
NEXT!
