A word to the wise -
If you live out of state, and someone's profile indicates they are only looking locally...
AND
You send a message, anyway...
AND
They take the time to write a courteous reply, to restate that it's not for them, not being local, and wish you the best...
AND
You reply, "can't we still chat?"
AND
They reply that they are incredibly busy with a hobby, work, family, and the gym, and don't have time to maintain a chat relationship with no reality endgame. And again, end by wishing you success.
And your choice is to reply, "but we could still chat"
You can expect the courtesy to end, the flamethrower to go on, and receive a cutting reply, with no-hold-barred.
You'll probably walk away from that encounter, thinking that the other person is a bi+ch, because that's how you are more comfortable, in your egotistical crap mind. And do the same to the next person.
For all of you that I don't send a reply to in the future, you can blame that guy. I was feeling kind and polite, and made the mistake. It'll be a while before I do so, again.
No means no. Full stop. That applies to any interaction. And if you're reading this, and don't live locally - please just save yourself the time. I wish you everything you're seeking, but it isn't coming from me. Thank you! |
