OK, so we have a rule at 52freedates that you must say yes to a first date when someone asks you out. Everyone is worth spending a coffee's worth of time with, yeah?
Well I'm bailing on this one.
I had to cancel my date on Saturday with MR. EAGER because my sore throat flared up, making it hard to talk. And he called me three more times after that. On Sunday, when he knew I was recovering from the sore throat. Then he tried to friend me on facebook, which you can't really do without knowing my fake name. So someone gave that to him.
Somebody please tell this guy that EAGER turns into DESPERATE when you haven't met someone yet but have already emailed 10 times, sent 15 photos (including one of his fireplace, which he assumed we'd be sitting in front of after our dinner), called 4 times, and started making plans for us to get together the next day as well.
DESPERATE is not sexy. It is not fun. It is not date material. I hope his friend tells him to chill the heck out, because he's setting himself up for a lot of frustration if not.
I did go to a party on Friday and met new folks, which might lead to more first dates. Right now my Friday night is open and I have a feeling it won't be for long!
I'm not sure I would jump to the word desperate, but I agree with the sentiment in all other respects. Perhaps "overzealous," which is almost as bad in this case.
ReplyDeleteI don't think having something in mind for the next day is bad, but that's something that needn't be shared until the date went well and nears its conclusion.
As for the rule: you did say yes, so the intent of the rule was clearly followed. However, he chose to mess it up even before the date--his decision, which he may grow to regret.
When modernism meets old fashioned values? too many calls, emails and texts can really seem desperate. chill the heck out....girls like the hunt too!
