I decided to nickname him Drunk Santa based on my last post about how he told me how hungover he was from a Santacon the previous day.
Anyway, Drunk Santa has suggested that I go meet him in his town so he can show me around. Sounds great. Now I'm just waiting for him to actually send me an invitation.
While I wait around, the past couple of weeks he's been sending me periodic meaningless messages, like "Hi Skeptic." or "Hi there, how's it hanging?" I responded to both, wondering if it would lead to an actual conversation, but it never does. Perplexed by this lack of initiative on his part, I mentioned it one day to my cousin, who astutely suggested that if he showed me around town, it wouldn't necessarily be a date, so the expected protocols of invitation might not apply. It's a more ambiguous situation. Fair point, but it still seems like if he wants to show me around town, he should be the one to suggest the day or send the invitation. I'm not about to send him a message like, "hey, I'm going to be in your town on Saturday. Will you show me around?"
So I ask you, Drunk Santa: What the f---?
Trying to stay positive,
Skeptic
It's like he's in cahoots with my Lame Doctor!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your cousin, I don't think this is necessarily a date yet. I think that if/when he shows you around, the next meeting AFTER could be a date.
True, and I agree, but it still doesn't seem like a situation where I should be taking the initiative. If he wants to show me around his town, step up! What's with all the texting just saying hello? I don't see the point in that.
DeleteWhy do guys initiate conversation and then refuse to follow through? I don't even respond to the guys on dating sites anymore who send a message and just say "Hey there." Umm... ok... Or you'll have a couple of messages back and forth but they'll stop asking probative questions. If I feel like I'm leading the whole damn convo, you're not showing enough interest.
ReplyDeleteYeah, on dating sites I have a rule: no copy/paste messages. In other words, if the message could easily be copied and pasted into a message for just about any other girl out there, it's meaningless. There is all sorts of information about me in the profile, and SOMEthing must have made you want to write to me. Speak up!
DeleteAmen! Anything that doesn't reference one personal bit about myself (minus my appearance), does not get a response.
