    PR, you have the loveliest character. It's beyond me why some girl just hasn't snatched you up yet!

    Well, that's nicer than standing you up and never calling again. Ask her out to lunch and pay with the gift card.

    Well then. That's just weird. I'd give it back too.

    Why didn't you just tell us this in the first place?

    Thank you.

    I really need to stop dating women I have to work with. I mean, that's the only reason she gave me the gift card. I am sure if she didn't have to see me again, I probably wouldn't have even heard her sorry excuse.

    I already put the gift card in an envelope and put it in her work mailbox. I am sure she got the message.

    I just couldn't have respect for myself and keep it, or worse, actually spend it.

    Because it's a long story I didn't want to get into.

    No, you don't want her to think she can feel sorry for you.

    Yes, please stop dating women you work with. That is called "shitting where you eat". :D

    This is what happens when you date people from work.

    your welcome rat.dating people at works probably not the best idea for various reasons.but it could have also been a woman from work that would'nt have done that ta ya.ya,she probably did only give it ta ya cos of that.but it was'nt a present ta you.it was a present for herself,cos she felt a guilty conscience for doing the wrong thing.if she just changed her mind bout meeting you,she should have the manners an respect ta tell ya at work or call ya ta tell ya.she did'nt.you did the right thing rat,leaving it back in her mailbox.which was a great act of selfrespect and dignity on your behalf.welldone! rat :2thumbsup:

    wait, stood you up basically? my understanding of standing someone up is that they plan to meet you someplace, then don't show up and don't say that they have to cancel.

    so did she do that, or did she cancel the date?

    she didn't have to give you a damn thing. she sounds pretty nice overall to me

    I've known girls who will date guys just to get free dinner.

    i think giving it back was a good thing to do. i, however, would probably have found a homeless family to give it to, and took a picture to give to her. that was pretty low of her. just an apology is better than trying to pay you off. for peanuts too.

    Giving a Visa gift card as a consolation prize for a failed relationship seems like a really American thing to do.

    The gift card could be given to the next person that is dumped. Then that person can give it to the next person that he or she dumps. It would be like the unwanted fruit cake that gets mailed from one person to another during the holiday season as a supposedly good gesture and that keeps going round and round. Another American tradition.

    It's been said that Americans are sincere about their insincerity.

    i must be the only one who would have spent her money and just never talked to her again.

    if i could get $25 every time i was rejected, i would ask out every girl i meet.

    Maybe that should become the new standard. Stand someone up, pay a $25 early termination fee. People might start having more respect for each other.
