    I swear people fudgjing mistake my open-ness/friendlyness with
    overzealous vibes. NO nigga. I know proper boundries! I just don't shorten my texts for the sake of looking cool/aloof.

    Text w/ a relatively new aqquantance.
    (drinks were discussed when we first met and okay'd).

    Then nothing. Da fuzz? Is there a 1-2 lines per text memo I missed?
    Girls do you think my end is too pushy or needy?

    :sad:

    edit: looks like It wasn't needy or pushy. And I eventually did get a response so gravy all around.

    how long has it been?

    seems kind of random to assume it's based on the length of your text.

    chock one to paranoia?

    I had some experiences as a kid with cousins/play-mates ditching me (ya...).

    I think a lot of it kicks in or starts to play in to situations like this. Btw, people who are naturally distant, this is one less thing you have to freak out about, because you naturally don't care as much.

    if someone texted me like that i wouldn't think anything of it, but i'm really not the one to talk to about how people are supposed to act toward each other either.

    Very aware. :D


    btw is it against girl-code to not help a guy in this situation? I wonder why the girls never pipe in.

    I thought this would be rude but it's really nothing.

    Not pushy or needy at all. Etiquette would be that she should respond promptly.

    I think it's about finding people that think similar to you. It's not an easy task, but there are others that can be as open as giving as you, even in casual relatoinships.

    You know, I an affiliated with a few types that suck. Then lately i've met a few that operate similar to me. It's so refreshing, and I'm working at building those instead.

    generally seems that way. or else they can't comprehend that you don't really know the answer, because it's just so obvious what this was supposed to mean.

    i think that possibly she saw your text, but was busy, and therefore did not have time to read/reply. people get distracted. text messages aren't really all that important, when you've got other things to do. perhaps you are grossly over-thinking this situation. i tend to forget to reply consistently.

    or, possibly, she was put off by you hinting she should skip her class, and then dismissed your text from that point on.
    or even, she already has plans for that day, doesn't feel the need to say no if she can't say yes anyway.

    I see nothing wrong with your text. I bet if you do hear from her again she will say she was busy with some essay she had to write for school.

    I didn't see anything wrong with it either. When you did the :p (sticking your tounge out) I thought it was kinda cute/funny. Don't let this put you off of people (women). If she doesn't respond, I'd just take that to mean you need to find someone easier to be around. You didn't sound needy or pushy. You sounded confident enough not to be shy about asking her. If she doesn't like that, for sure you need to put her in the recycle bin pronto.

    ^

    righteous. It's good to hear I was in-line. kudos to the male/female responses. I actually did finally hear back too. a couple hrs back. I'll read it in the morning.

    you can officially move this to the mind fuck/paranoia section of the forums :oops:

    (I'll also try to remember episodes like this so I can remain trusting)

    Another perspective to "remain trusting" is that the lives of others have many sides that we don't even know about. Therefore, for you to home in on YOURSELF as the WHY, HOW, WHO, just isn't practical. And if you really look at it, it's kind of arrogant. You are giving yourself a lot more importance then really exists (and I don't mean to insult you).
