Three strikes and he is out. <br />And since this is dating and not baseball, I think you were more than fair to give him three strikes.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14832586851061375624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231669418519694533.post-51093979784257272062010-05-24T14:29:43.259-04:002010-05-24T14:29:43.259-04:00nope. he's out!nope. he's out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231669418519694533.post-38822212179295628902010-05-24T13:46:30.411-04:002010-05-24T13:46:30.411-04:00I tend to do the same thing you did here...let ...I tend to do the same thing you did here...let 'em keep coming back and accumulating more strikes. After all, anyone can have an off day, right? However, I've found that if they're the type to get Strike One, then Strikes Two and Three can't be far behind. You absolutely did the right thing!<br /><br />Oh, and I love the "ball busting in a cute way."

BUT seriously (cuz I’m pretty much kidding above) with this being a 2nd date and third over-all seeing each other, You’re being totally reasonable because between these encounters there should have been a ramp-up of communication as time went by, not just talking only when you have plans, that’s no relationship or way to start one. SO, you're very correct in feeling less than engaged or dealing with someone who isn't showing you enough interest to get more of your time and saying "why bother?" <br /><br /> <br />Good work. I’d go so far as to say it woulda been pretty bad-ass to text this guy on Tuesday or Wednesday and cancel on him and tell him it’s because he’s a flake, something like “I don’t think I’m going to waste my time going out with you on Thursday.”<br /><br /> Power negotiators call that the “take-away” and it can work really well as most scramble to please whomever pulls that move out, or, you confirm they don’t care that much. You may have seen a different side of him with that. <br /><br />btw, as a guy 'm also seriously wondering if this guy's "game" is being kinda mysterious and hard to read and thus intriguing to women and his issue here is really more not knowing when to drop it/scale it down and transition into being someone who another can realistically see dating. Going along with that, if that were his game, it’s reasonable to conclude that when the façade dropped he’d either be boring or like a deluge of emotions that you may or may not have been cool with. <br /> <br />Me personally, as soon as I saw you talked for more than 15 minutes and then he didn’t call I was confused. I can’t possibly find a way/care to keep a conversation going with a stranger for more than that without it being a given I’m going to call provided she’s willing to give me her # (because if I weren’t going to call, I’d prolly have walked with-in 2 minutes of meeting and keep my hassles to a minimum). <br /><br />*a friend of mine did this same thing, made plans with a girl and then didnt talk to her for 4 days on the principle that plans are plans and you have to keep your word. Naturally, she didn't respond to his day-of "are we still on?" and he raged because he's anal-retentive about principle and i can be too, so i understood it, though i'd never handle things that way to being with.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420160269889261355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231669418519694533.post-68935920359363205092010-05-24T10:13:23.989-04:002010-05-24T10:13:23.989-04:00No, no, no, no!
