E-pologetic
E-pologetic Guy asks you out by email. Okay, I get it, no one likes rejection. And frankly, it was great to discover after my divorce that courtship-by-email is much easier (for both parties) because you get time to think about the wording. So after I sent my “no, thank you, I’m not ready to date yet,” here came the email apologizing for not being clear. Did I think it was a date? He didn’t mean it as a date. It was just dinner! Because everyone has to eat, right? And he just thought I’d want to sit next to him at the same place and eat at the same time. So sorry; he certainly didn’t mean to offend! Excuse him for even suggesting such a thing! Really! Stupid me: I emailed back no problem. His response to that was so huffy that he practically came out and said it was a pity invitation, anyway, so there! ‘K, E-pologetic, I get it! You don’t like me! You really, truly don’t like me! Does this mean we can stop emailing now?

OMG! I think HE needs a pity-date, but definitely NOT with YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Becky about the pity-date. Maybe it could be by e-mail.

Maybe the date you could set up for him should be with your spam filter.
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't get the whole email and no rejection thing I'm a person to person gal. :)
This guy's coming off some really bad stuff. Glad you didn't bother to wipe up his mess; sometimes a dinner napkin isn't sufficient. You are a wise woman.
ReplyDeleteHee hee!!! LOVE your witty comments!!! Here's one of the [surprisingly many] good things about being single again at this age--I wasn't the *slightest* bit hurt at being rejected by my Reject! It's just sort of funny at this point!
ReplyDeleteIt might also be that he was trying to salvage his pride. No matter what age, some people are sensitive about perceived rejection.
