    Welp

    Just seemingly had a budding relationship fall apart due to technological faliure which is great

    There is a girl I've been seeing for a few weeks and she is fantastic and super gorgeous and great and we have been super into each other

    And then we had an admittedly awkward conversation that led to an increasing lull in our talk to the point where had to text her and make sure we were okay

    I didn't receive a reply for 3 days and figured she was ghosting

    Only just now I received 3 messages from her sent over the past few days about it, one of which had her apologizing for her lack of contact in the past week and the other one had her believe I was the one ghosting her.

    Going all OH NO IT WAS MY PHONE seems like the lamest bullshit so I'm doubtful she believes it and predict this is sunk.

    Ugh.

    Oh jeez buddy I'm sorry
    Maybe try to take her out or do something real nice so you can convince her you're on the level?

    Man that totally sucks, but I think you should call her and explain what happened, and just say that you're sorry about that but you really do care, and you're still here if she wants anything.

    At the end if the day if you two really gel and care for each other, a hiccup like this can potentially be overcome, so don't.give up hope. But act fast! Gotta get on.that quick!

    I already texted her since she's probably asleep but here's hoping.

    It double sucks because we were gonna do her friend's Oscar party tonight but after the assumed Ghosting I picked the shift I previously had covered back up.

    Yeah, I have a meeting tomorrow morning in 3 hours that's mandatory for management. I knew the moment I got off of work that sleep wasn't in my future.

    @Blankzilla couldn't you take a screenshot that shows when the messages were received and send it to her?

    For some reason they have the, seemingly accurate, timestamps for when she sent them.

    I honestly have no idea what happened with them.

    If you click on the message does it give more details?

    I don't think @Blankzilla needs to prove anything

    an honest and unavoidable technical issue has caused this. If this girl doesn't trust you when you tell her what happened then well, man, the relationship has more problems than just a messed up phone connection.

    Also keep in mind. If you theoretically did decide to cut her off, why would you send her a message that says, "Whoops missed your last six messages!" you would just send her nothing, because you cut her off. So you know, she is probably a bit annoyed at the moment because she hasn't seen your message and thinks you have cut her off, so she'll be glad to see your message when it arrived, because it will mean you haven't cut her off.

    Might I suggest you two shift your form of communication to something else? As your current system does not seem terribly reliable.

    You found someone else who you liked better, but then they ended it. So you go back to the other one as something is better than nothing. I wish I wasn't speaking from experience. I know that's ridiculously unlikely to happen, but the memory m popped into my head.

    Date in two days, too busy sulking about going back to London to get excited. Plus there's only 7 seats free on the coach so I'll be sitting next to someone. Hopefully they fall asleep!

    Hey, it isn't all that bad. I'm still working, so I'm making money. There's a laundrymat so I can clean clothes, the Dollar General has socks so I can buy more of those, there's some fast food joints so I can eat without having to cook. Hell, even the library has public computers so I can write/look for places.

    I sound strangely positive. Must be an optimistic day.

    When I first started posting in here about the problems with the marriage, my wife got mad and asked why I would say anything to strangers and that none of 'em knew me or cared. I'd like to say these posts the last near week are a perfect fucking example of why. Rockstars, the lot of ya. Thank you sounds so inadequate to properly convey, but, thank you, all.

    Hey Doc....why don't you tell your rockstar friends the actual facts of the situation and maybe they won't think so highly of you...especially the parts where you weren't kicked out the first time. You left to be with a married woman...and the last time you were really kicked out because you stole money out of your wife's purse to take the other woman out and then threatened to have all the utilities shut off on your wife and step kids cause you didn't want to help pay bills...so many things guys that you just don't know about him. If you want to know more truths he was only kicked out for two days and the weather was in the 60s...he was let back in and his horrible shit monster of a wife was kind enough to go buy him a heater. New sheets blanket and pillow. Even hooked up electric so he could have light and heat. Two sides to a story guys..always two sides. If you want the truth just ask..phone number is available at your request. Just message me because the list of his dirty deeds is long to what he has done to his wife and step kids.

    Well that was not how I was expecting doc's story to pan out.

    In relationship/dating news, went to a wedding yesterday. Got lots of "you're next Karl"

    Bloody hell chaps, we need to save for a house first.

    I'm on a very packed coach, so I've sat next to a comfy looking sleeping lady. Thank goodness I have so many podcasts to listen to.

    I miss my dog already. Maybe I need it as a rule that my partner must have a dog.

  • BrainleechBrainleech 機知に富んだコメントはここにあります Registered User regular
    What kind of dog as I usually have not for everyone type of dogs
    They turn out that way I don't look for feral dogs

  • AngelinaAngelina Registered User regular
    A dog that can put up with bed or sofa cuddles while I watch something.

    Damn it! I meant to ask my mum about why when I was 12ish we took in a homeless man and his dog. Whether they were friends, or whether she just took pity on a random man. He was a nice bloke and his dog was amazing. Ok, I'm putting a reminder in my phone to ask her on my next visit.

    When you say comfy looking, do you mean for you to use as a pillow?

    Hmm, I like this idea. The worst thing about renting is not being able to have a dog. And OKC does have a spot where people list if they have pets...

    Her coat does look pretty soft.

    Yeah Rinoa uses me as a bed sometimes but she's all joints and pointy bits.

    Send it via kestrel.

    If a lady sent me an amorous missive attached to a bird of prey I would be 1000% hers for ever.

    My girlfriend was prepping for a conference all week so we couldn't hang

    Now she's AT the conference so we can't hang!

    The worst. Though she's having a great time so it's not all bad.
