It means you can't hold your liquor and probably shouldn't drink so much. I have been drunk plenty of time and never made out with a total stranger. You made out with him, gave him your number, and then seem annoyed he called you to get in contact. It seems like this guy dodged a bullet. Next time, show a little class and maybe you will meet a classy guy. Keep acting the way you do and you deserve to attract guys like this.

Given out a phone number accidentally, or with the intent of just making a new friend. She did exactly what I would - arrange a meeting at a convenient location and don't do anything that puts you out of your way. Also - wtf with asking for a lift to the location where she's already AT? It's not the lack of car, it's the lack of dignity - how can you DO that??? Can relate to OP – been there, done that.

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:13:50 +0000 http://myveryworstdate.com/?p=2236#comment-3590 First of all, it isn't sexist. A guy would most likely forgive the 15 minutes late thing and the lack of a car, I know I would. She could have avoided a lot of this if she... didn't hook up with him --or-- didn't give him her number --or-- been straightforward about not wanting to get together ... however she didn't. She led him on and it was only when he said that he didn't have a car that she felt it necessary to be honest with him. First of all, it isn’t sexist.

didn’t hook up with him
–or– didn’t give him her number
–or– been straightforward about not wanting to get together
… however she didn’t. She led him on and it was only when he said that he didn’t have a car that she felt it necessary to be honest with him.

What do you people want!? This is why girls are too nice and polite to stand up for themselves. When they do, people call them bitchy! We just can't win can we? No one nags the men for ignoring clingy desperate chicks until they go away. How can be judge the OP for doing that? She told him she was not interested in dating, but gave him a chance because it was convenient. Then...he blew that chance! She told him again that she was not interested. Then he went psycho desperate on her (trust me, if a girl texted about walking to see a guy in a blizzard, you would be calling her a desperate psycho). And she cut ties with that desperate psycho. FIN! p.s. people who passive aggressively avoid awkward phone calls bug me too, but it has nothing to do with our judgment of her date. Holy crap! What do you people want!?

If this story were from a guy, people would be going "dude! you dodged a bullet there!". But, since it's from a woman, it's all "you shouldn't have led him on" and "oh the poor, poor sleep boy!" Screw that. Good on you, OP for not falling for this sexist shaming shit. I love how stupidly hypocritical people are.

The next day he called and I didn’t answer because I really wasn’t interested." Erm...hello?? That's pretty twisted right there. Plus you were drunk at the time. Yes, a fine model of discretion and obviously following a well-adjusted moral compass. Stop trying to be so blase about life. I'd say the fact you two didn't hook up after all (not saying he wasn't rather pathetic) was probably of benefit to both sides. “I didn’t think twice about giving out the number especially as I figured he wouldn’t call anyway.

Texting + begging for date = I'm very interested and socially inept Meeting for coffee while not interested = pity date Not showing up for *I'm very interested* coffee date = lame Continuing to pursue *not interested date* = desperately hopeful or unrealistic Texting "I'm at home and I'm not interested" = honest Seems like answering the first phone call would have saved everybody lots of time, etc. Lots of crossed signals here: Kissing + giving out phone number = I’m not interested (???)
