Dear Lady. Ann:
I have been single for a few years now. I have enjoyed being alone and able to do the things I have always wanted to do, like moving to another state to start a new job. But I do admit to having my bad days where I feel really lonely and would not mind starting something real with someone. It is for this reason that I joined the online dating team. I have chatted up a few guys on there, but I recently met someone online who seemed really amazing.
We went out on a date, which went really well. We flirted and enjoyed each other’s company. We ended up having sex a few times that night and I did not regret it at all. We both agreed to meet up the next day. I felt because the date went so well, I could send him a naughty text, which I did. My intention was to make him more excited to see me the next day. He responded saying he was pretty tired from work and we would still be meeting later that day.
I felt rejected by that message. His response felt so cold. His being tired should not stop him from responding accordingly. I angrily sent him another text saying I was no longer interested in another date and it seemed like he had a problem with women who could come off strongly on a man, so I would save him the time and just call it all off. I later regretted that text because it seemed like I was overreacting. I have not heard from him since then and I feel really bad. Something great could have developed from that date and I just ruined it with my outburst. Should I reach out to him again? Or should I just let it all go and move on?
-Feeling guilty
#DLATribe, should she reach out to him or walk away? What could she have done better?
