I was browsing through this forum after I had posted a topic and noticed that a certain (cute) girl lives near me. I sent her a message telling her she was cute and that I lived nearby too. To my surprise, she replied with a very friendly email. We talked a little over IM and I asked her later if she wanted meet up for some coffee. Then, her communication with me stopped even read my invitation email to ask her out.
I guess I thought some of the people on this forum had a different mentality when it comes to honest communication, but I guess I was wrong. A big letdown, if you ask me.
I don't follow what your complaint is. I do but I don't.
Is it:
I initiated conversation with a stranger who was cute and because she lived near me. When I got around to asking her out, she said no.
Or:
I was browsing.
(and noticed a cute girl)
(who lives nearby)
So I......initiated communication.
I was hoping
For what? Hoping is not the same thing as sharing/speaking/communicating. It is abstract and hidden. It seems like you were hoping for something but never actually shared/cleared that with her *in advance* of asking her for a personal meeting. Was she hoping for the what that you were hoping for-or something else? How do you know? I mean, what is your rationale, exactly for saying "just goes to show you"?
Were you honestly upfront about your hoping being a 'meetup' *in advance*? If not, you have jumped into the water and are curious why you are wet, my friend. As well, things do change. You said yourself-total strangers. To be offended that some lady you know nothing about does not want to risk unknowns by jumping into something so personal as meeting whoever you are-seems odd.
Were
you honest?
I think not. Here is why:
You said,
"She spoke to me-I was so surprised." (Why? Why? Why? Why were you surprised?)
The problem of your disappointment
likely is in your self answer to the above question.
I think you decided to ask her out
becasue she spoke to you, and because she lives nearby, and because she is really cute. You thought you should meet for real, but she didn't respond to that the way you had hoped.
Again, was she hoping for what you were hoping for? Again, what you've left out is that it was you who were dishonest.
Unless of course that is not the case and you've left out that you were totally upfront about the reason for your initial communication as being- your looking for a date with that person because she is really cute and lives near you.
I surmise that your heartbreak comes from the following:
SHE answered the very nice mail you sent with a very nice mail of her own-
What does that say? That she is polite. That she loves her WP family. That she was curious why you were mailing. It really could be anything.
Please think to be more careful with the people who you impose yourself on. You don't know anything about her, but here you are.
Like you are not the 14,000th. Your introduction very well might have been that last thing on earth she wanted to hear. And maybe she is still in the process of learning that being contacted by a male is not for friendship as the end result is *almost* always the same.
What responding to an email or chatting IM
doesn't say:
It doesn't say I love you stranger, let's meet.
A pretty face, a public photo, or a statement of location on a family site of strangers doesn't say I love you, let's meet. Though it might say, here is my face-be it what it is- here is my plot in the world.
I *could be* totally off.
Maybe after talking to you for awhile she became aware that you wern't her type-as you are strangers and talking
is one indicator as to a persons disposition.
And why do you judge a person on whether or not they want to date anyway?
Is it because
you want to date.
Sounds like a personal problem.
You may have taken a stranger.
You may have phantasized a wanted outcome to your benifit
You may have put her on a pedastal,
And you may have used the reality of the situation, and the dashing of your maybe fantasy, to slam her and all women for putting an end to the IT you finally revealed.
