This has happened to me a couple of times. Things going great. We’re in contact plus 1 – 2 dates a week. Then all of a sudden, nothing at all. It’s like they disappeared from the face of the earth. Zero warning signs. Like, no acting weird or distant. Just, cut off contact.
People can talk a big game.
Also, some people just suck.
Hey – have you all heard of the new dating app “Hater”? I just did yesterday and it sounds super fun! You’re matched on your dislikes rather than your likes. Is this old news and I’m just now finding out about it?
Umm, Copa, where is this Ramen making class?!? Also, I totally agree with you about ghosting. I always, at a minimum, give a direct no thank you… not interested.
Ver – I’m sorry that he’s kind of freaking out right now. I think it’s awesome that you took control of the date situation and made other plans. Give him a little space to get his head on straight, but I think it’s ok to reach out and hang out again.
I’ll definitely send a thank you to everyone who attends our parties!
I’m battling with this now. I’m getting married in September. We’re having a 100% non-traditional wedding. Private ceremony and brunch with immediate family followed by a large party at our condo. Then another party for family in my hometown. Neither one of us want gifts. At all. I don’t want a shower either. But people want to do this for us and buy us things. I’m still trying to figure out how to handle this.
They somehow think I’m “missing out.” I don’t feel that I am.
Also, the updates crack me up.
Thanks elephant for saying it better than I did. Sure, his relationship with the LW sounds superficial… but that does not make him a superficial/immature person. Especially if he has the life he wants. He has chosen not to be tied down. That’s not wrong.
IDK, just because this guy chose an alternative lifestyle doesn’t make him or his life superficial. He’s managed to keep long lasting relationships with people, even if that doesn’t include a girlfriend or fiance or wife. Which might not be what he’s seeking.
If I had the means to jet around the world, see exotic locations and the flexibility to work from anywhere, I totally would. Who’s to say that’s wrong compared to settling down?
I haven’t been on this thread in a while, but I’m happy to read about all the good updates!
@copa… “and not because he’s younger, but because he does things like cocaine” this made me laugh out loud, so thanks for that!
Yes. Congratulations Tom! I’d be disappointed if I were you too. I think you’re making the right decision though. I wish you, your wife and the new addition to your family the best.
My first thought was as Courtney89 and K have said… that I’d like to think I’d be cool with it. And I structured my first response as such. Then I deleted because I thought… I’ve never been pregnant. I have absolutely no idea how I’d feel and everyone here is right. This is an individual decision. The woman is already going through so many changes. If she is more comfortable having her husband with her, than that’s that. Decision made.
Although, you also being gone would cause unnecessary stress. I agree with the Skype idea. Just skype the wedding.
