The following text is from a plate I recently dropped. She was one of the first gals I met on Bumble after my separation. 6/10 - good personality - another man would probably love her but not this one.

This is the text she sent me after I called it off with her. Couple things:

I do give her credit for her "female awareness" on the situation. Kind of nice but also somewhat expected.

Begging is an absolute turn off.

You cannot negotiate desire.

Abundance and OI are very important.

How many of you have sent this kind of communication to your wife/LTR?

Make you wanna puke?

Her text:

Thank you for replying. I’ll always respect your decision, but is there any room for discussion?

I was not ungrateful. Far from it. That’s not where my mind was at at all. I was intending to share that, although I loved the ice cream date, I just found I still wanted more time with you. Time to kiss and be close. Which is a great thing to want with your date. In the ice cream shop just wasn’t the place to do it. Apparently I didn’t communicate that well and I’m sorry. And I felt a little guilty because you seemed so tired and like you wanted/needed to be doing something else. I’ve said many times how much any time spent together means to me. Time and touch are all I need.

Sigh. I was passive aggressive this weekend. Patience is not my strongest point. I know this will get easier for both of us when school starts again. And I know you are busy getting kids ready for their trip. I guess I was just really missing connection with you. And I need to ask for it like a big girl.

I respectfully ask that you give us/me another try. I still see a big potential for us. And I, for one, want to see if we could be good together. I’m not drama and negativity. Far from it. I am the best girlfriend you could ever hope to have. What I’m not good at is this middle of the road, not sure where I stand part. 😕

What do you say? Can we have that bowling date and talk it out?
