So now that I know what my true pet peeve is...

[Liontamr]

Any time I've ever been asked the question "what is your biggest pet peeve" I could come up with a few small and insignificant things that annoy me, but never could I think of anything that just flat out pissed me off...

That was until Tuesday. Now I know what pisses me off to the point where three or four days later I am still po'ed and annoyed as hell as I was when it first happened.

People who flat out drop from the face of the earth never to be heard from. That's what pisses me off.

Three weeks ago I had made plans with a woman to meet up on New Years Eve. Call it a date of sorts I guess.. But I was just really looking forward to enjoying a night out of the house and meeting a woman who I have enjoyed talking to over the net.

I leave her an e-mail wishing her a Merry Christmas and safe trip home.. no responce. Oh well, I figure she just hadn't got a chance to see it or didn't have enough time to reply.

Last Saturday I send her a message saying I need to know where she wants to meet on Tuesday, or if she even has changed her mind and just doesn't want to see me now... No responce. And this time - unlike the e-mail - I know she got the message.. And hasn't responded.

Tuesday night as I sit at home alone my plans canceled and me pissed off that I've hopelessly looked forward to one night for three weeks I send her one more message.. Telling her that all she needed to do was just send something.. even a "fuck off" at this point would be nice.

Guess what happened? Yeah.. you guessed right. Not a damn word.

On second thought, maybe the biggest pet peeve I have isn't people who disapear into thin air.. It's in fact when I allow myself to think I may have a chance with someone.

WOW there are some people who just dont know what they are missing out on. I bet she would have had a great time with you too. Do you think anything happened to her?

 

[StrawberryPez]

*hugs*

 

[Ladyhawke]

HUGS!

I had the almost exact same thing happen to me, plans for New Year's Eve and he disappears into thin air, not a phone call or an email or anything. I know how you feel

 

[H'venlee]

What a B****.

Sorry sweetie, but the least she could have done was told you she had changed her mind. You deserve so much better.

If I would have been closer, I definately would have taken her place...and been a very happy woman to do so.

s to you.

 

[Liontamr]

Do you think anything happened to her?

If I hadn't figured out that she got the one message and opened it, I may have worried that something wrong may have happened..

Ya know the funniest thing in this whole episode is that we first started talking about people faking their death to avoid meetings (as such as happeend here..) After stating in a thread how hard it is to trust people online, she pm'ed me saying that "not everyone was like that"

At least she didn't fake her death.

 

[sheath]

She will come crawling back one day soon...you bet she will...

Then you can scan an obituary, white out the name...and put "Fuck you" in it's place...send it to her...

Think she will get the message?



I like you, Liontamr. She must be NUTS.

S.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

I'd be pissed off also..... hugs.

Thank you..

I'm not so sure she'll come crawling back.. Besides, it's not as if this was a serious relationship or anything. Just a chance to meet, have a few drinks, possibly take in a hockey game and see where the night went from there. I would have been just as happy to make the two hour trip back home if she had wanted to end our night before midnight.

I don't know what I'd do if she did try to contact me again.. I'm thinking I just wouldn't respond at all.

What goes around comes around.

 

[JennyOmanHill]

That's horrible!

I think it would take a BIG chunk of time to get over a disappearing act like that!

So sorry to both Liontamr and Ladyhawke! You both deserve much better!

 

[MaggieH]

LT and Ladyhawke-

I'm so sorry. That really sucks. It's astounding how thoughtless and cruel people can be. It really hurts when someone you thought you knew does something you never expected...

 

[roxanne69]

Big warm hugs to you LT. Her loss, not yours sweetie. She could have gone out with a funny, bright and sexy man.

 

[Lost Cause]

Better now........

Than being face first (literally) in love with someone, only to have them panic at the commitment, and take off. Take this as a good sign, there are people out there that will hurt someone and think nothing of it, sounds like you had a real professional. It's all on her, so if it happens again, start calling other friends that are reliable and fun!

If you are even thinking about responding to any of her messages, you're a bigger man than I am.

If you are even thinking about responding to any of her messages, you're a bigger man than I am.

For a moment tonight I actually thought of PMing her since I saw she was online... me making the first effort to talk to her after what I had delt with this past week.

Then I said "fuck that idea" and deleted her from my list.

Like I said, it's not as if this was a huge deal or a long time girlfriend pulling this shit (although that has happened as well..) .. but it's funny how even this afternoon as I thought about it I got pissed off. That's not usually my style.

LC - Consider it done... There was a game on the 9th that I had a pair of tickets too and if things had gone well on the 31st I was going to invite her out again for a night out on me.

Safe to say the co-worker I am taking to the game now is pretty happy she stood me up! lol

A little while ago, I met a woman online, and we chatted for about 6 hours straight. We seemed to hit it off really well, but the next day, when i messaged her, she said she wasn't in a great mood and logged off. Well, she's never talked to me again, or even responded to an email. A simple 'fuck off' would have at least kept me from wasting my time wondering if i had done something to piss her off...
