There's this girl that I run into at work sometimes, I work at a large company and personally I think the whole "never date your co-workers" is kind of BS as long as you can be respectful and act like adults. I run into her and we talk and always had good interactions. I thought she was cute and that maybe she might be into me. One day I asked if I could add her on Snapchat which she said yes to.
I then texted and asked her if she would be down to get some coffee sometime and included my number which she said yes to. I then said great and tried to work out a time with her and she didn't open my snap for 2 days which at that point I pretty much gave up on expecting anything back from her.
I then saw last night I got a notification from her but it wasn't a response, it just showed that she took a screenshot of the chat which is definitely not a good sign. Note that I've been nothing but respectful and didn't say anything bad/creepy. Just me asking her out, her saying yes, and me trying to set a time.
I bet that I'm in a group chat now or being shared to one or all of her friends, which honestly I don't really care if she shows anyone because I did nothing wrong but it's kind of the whole idea of God forbid I ask a girl out, who do I think I am? She's probably parading me around going "look at this loser who thought he had a chance with me" and laughing about it with her friends or acting like I committed some unspeakable crime against her. It makes me feel like some kind of disgusting pest
If that's the case then I definitely dodged a bullet but I'm like really? You will be nice to my face and say yes knowing you have no intention of going when you could have just said no and I would have been okay with it. Can we stop with the stupid fucking games, we aren't in high school anymore. I am 25 and she is 32, just say yes if you mean yes or no when you mean no. Don't lead people on. This is what pisses me off so much about modern dating, no one is ever genuine.
And can we stop acting like having a guy ask you out is some unspeakable sin or ridiculing them if their intentions were good? I don't mean the guys who are sending dick pics right off the bat or being overly sexual, I'm talking about the ones who are genuine and respectful.Fuck, this is why I hate dating and why I have so much anxiety about asking people out.
