Happy Trails, Kalina

[snowrabbit]

Well, I finally got my response from Kalina. After 48 hours sitting on pins and needles waiting for any word about a second date, a message arrived just a little while ago. It was short. One paragraph. She thanked me for meeting her, thanked me for giving her a chance, and wished me well. However, she said she didn't feel the "common interest" she

Awwwww :(

*squishy LJ hugs*

I still wuvs you.

And you are so not the most boring person ever. You've done lots of exciting stuff, like your road trip and getting sunburnt. :p

As for crooked teeth and sunburn... well... sunburn isn't permanent and crooked teeth aren't any big deal. Now if you had horns growing out of your head that would be a different story.

Awww I was waiting to see your sad hippo icon!! Thanks for the wuv. I know you guys here on LJ have the benefit of reading about the wonderful and interesting things I do whereas 90 minutes in a crampt coffee bar isn't any real time to get through to anyone.

[lil_twitty_1]

Awwww sorry to disappoint you with the icon.

I think 90 minutes is enough time to at least get to know each other a bit. Sure it's not like you could tell each other your life stories, but still. Maybe it was the coffee...

I've had dates like that. They suck.

[snowrabbit]

Yea, they suck. I guess I'm more shocked than anything. Things seemed to be going so well!! When we left, she was talking about getting ahold of me again and asked for my number. To be rejected in the end is what just messes with me the most. Things seemed fine.

[lil_twitty_1]

Well that's just rude to ask for someone's number and then reject them. She had your email so why'd she need to give you false hope.

How rude. I'm annoyed at her now. LOL And I don't even know her!!!

[snowrabbit]

Yea, we would have exchanged numbers but neither of us had paper or a pen. Things seemed so good!! She asked me if I were free this week. I mean.. things were going so well!! Then I get an email thanking me for taking a chance on her... as if I were some king coming down from my throne to date her even though she was the one who rejected me. It's frustrating to not know the truth, but maybe I don't want to know. Bottom line, I'm not for her, and she's just one fish in the sea.

BTW, that blinking cat icon is beautiful and spooky. You watching me from your side of the world? :)

[lil_twitty_1]

Well that just seems a little weird. Are you sure she just doesn't think that you're not interested for some reason???

But I don't want a fishie!!!

LOL Could be. Thanks, I thought it was cute. :)

[snowrabbit]

Only hours after the Sunday date, I took initiative and wrote a rather long email thanking her for the meeting and stating my intentions, requesting another coffee date. I thought she could use some supplemental information, so I gave her my website address, I gave her my cell phone number, and I gave her some positive attention. She had to have known I was interested in a second date and I honestly was. I'm pretty sure it all comes down to a matter of personal values that we apparently don't share. Such a shame.

[lil_twitty_1]

Well you couldn't say she couldn't have known. Maybe she thought it sounded creepy or desperate or something.

Or maybe she's just one of those 3 day rule girls. Where you have no contact with the guy until the 3rd day after the date.

Weird I know, but a lot of girls go by it here in Oz.

[snowrabbit]

Well, her final email was a reply to my request for a second date, so it either all came down to that or she had already made her decision Sunday afternoon at about 2 PM when we left the coffee house and was just spending two days thinking about how to let me down.

Three days?! I'd shoot myself. That kinda thing is very rare here in the states and I have little respect for men or women who play games making dates wait like that. If you like the guy, tell him. Grab him. You give him three days to suffer, and he could be gone. I would be.

[lil_twitty_1]

LOL Yeah I think it's a pretty stupid idea.

I can understand someone waiting until the next day to contact someone after a date. But 3 just sounds uninterested to me.

LOL I sent my boyf an SMS after our first date. I think it was about 2-3hrs after. I find if I don't tell someone something as soon as I feel comfortable telling them, I end up not telling them.

I know I annoyed him with emails during the first week of our relationship. He says I didn't, but I know sending someone 3 emails in one day is extreme. I still annoy him like that, only I don't send him the email until the end of the day so it just ends up one really long email. That and I annoy him with SMS's at work. :)

Then again he knew I liked him after we spent all day talking on Yahoo. Yes I met him online. :p

[snowrabbit]

Ahhh online romances are the way to go. Plus, I want a technologically savvy girl and it's dawned on me that Kalina ain't. Thanks for giving me such a long thread!! I love talking to you! Aussies are very cool people.

[lil_twitty_1]

Yeah online romances seem to work better when you're busy.

LOL Yeah well you at least want someone who knows what a game console is!!!

Awwww you're welcome. I feel like I'm rambling sometimes. I've been doing that a lot lately.
