We’re back with another edition of my dating chronicles! Today’s post will be focused on rejection and how it should be dealt with. This particular incident happened weeks ago, and I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to post about it here. Anywho! Let’s dive right in. I was at work a few weeks ago when I got the following message from someone on OkCupid.
I typically check out a suitor’s profile if I have a moment and I did at the time so I checked out his profile. I wasn’t impressed so I didn’t respond to his initial message. That prompted the second message from him 3 hours later. Now, I know I don’t owe anyone an explanation as to why I wasn’t interested in him, but I wanted to share a few with y’all. I didn’t like his poor grammar and I really don’t like it when guys come out of the door with pet names, if you don’t want to use my screen name ask me what my name is. That’s just a personal preference.
I wasn’t going to respond to him, but on OkCupid you can see when someone has checked out your page and after he sent the follow up message I felt like I had to tell him that I wasn’t interested so he wouldn’t continue to message me. Well that led to this…
He instantly went left and showed his true colors. I feel like I made my point in my initial message and I didn’t think I was rude about it, but he obviously did. His entitlement and rudeness got the best of him and I had to tell him off. I’m not sure when it became acceptable for guy to instantly get venomous when they’re rejected, I don’t owe any guy anything but that’s often forgotten. I’ll definitely continue to be “picky” if it keeps me away from guys like that. What about y’all? Have any of you experienced anything like this? And if so how did you handle the situation? Do you think I was out of line?
What a jerk! You gave him the perfect smack down. Too bad he won't learn his lesson!
