Well, I'm gonna disagree with the "having to chase guys on yahoo" thing. I mean, she was working in popular sports bar (geared towards guys, obviously), and while I agree that some guys in her age bracket would run, a lot of older guys (which she was into anyway, the deceased father of her kids had been my age) really aren't "as" concerned with a girl having kids. I would obviously prefer they not have them in terms of complicating things, but I don't turn and run the other way either if I liked the girl (nor would any guy just wanting to get laid). And a lot of AFCs, online or otherwise, would be all over a chick like this on her sheer hotness alone. (I do have a picture of us together, but figured it would be in bad taste to submit it in public here).wayword said:Lol, I KNEW she had some fatal flaw!
Otherwise, no HB9 would be chasing guys on Yahoo!
And it sounds like you never really moved out of the attraction phase. All you did was flirt and banter, right? I never heard where you guys really connected emotionally.
As far as your second question goes about us connecting emotionally? That's a tough call, because of the whole online factor... usually you do connect on personal level first, then deal with the chemistry later (and I am gradually starting to dislike this format). We talked about a lot of deep stuff along with the clowning around and flirting, so if I had to answer, I would say yes, we had connected emotionally. We spent a "decent" amount of time on the phone, probably at least 5 hours over the course of two weeks maybe? Not sure.
I think she definitely connected with me emotionally. One of the "dumber" things she said to me the day before we met was "How come you always know how to say the right thing?". The fact is, I don't ... I'm getting good, but I am not that good. And furthermore-I don't remember the exact thing we were discussing when we she said that-but I remember thinking it wasn't that good, deep, DJish, or profound. To me, thats a comment very much made by a girl who was "falling in love" over the phone, or as Mr. Me has been suggesting-someone who is really moving to fast in the hopes that something develops. But, I'll cut her some slack, I have heard a lot of girls say silly stuff like that over the years.
Ok, here's the thing on that, and maybe you're right, I should have just went for it. But I lot of girls get really goofy about the "first kiss" thing, and I figured it would be better to let the tension build since we had done some kissing already, rather than go in for a passionate kiss at the end of the night that could back fire. But, you're point is still taken-I suppose it could have made it or broke it, and in retrospect, I think that definitely would have been the case with her. After a date that went so well, I didn't want to throw that into the mix at that point, but she did tease me about no doing it the next day, so maybe it was a mistake. Could have been viewed as beta.1-The “no kissing on the first date” rule. Dude, if you are a GREAT kisser…then it is essential that you kiss her as soon as possible. That first kiss is what builds a sense of fantasy on her. That is…if you are a very good to great kisser. At 26…I’m sure she has been kissed by a LOT of bad kissers. So, even if you are above average…you should be alright.
I thank you for, and agree with the rest of your comments, Latinoman. But the one thing no one has addressed... everyone keeps focusing on the "dumping thing" which I admit was a mistake, and knew it even as I was typing the stupid text message... argh. But no one is addressing what made her go cold the very next day after the date, that very afternoon-the change in demeanor, the lame and fewer texts, etc. I don't think she was just "busy". I think her feelings changed, and I am not sure why. Obviously, I know you guys weren't listening to the conversations so it's tough for you to say, but I think this thing was over before it got to our last conversation, before any of that dumping crap was a factor. But, I could be wrong about that.
