Is this a genuine reason she’s cancelling or just another rejection? 0 upvotes | September 6, 2019 | by The_Juggernauts_Dad ------------------------- Plated a girl at work (I know what you’re gonna say - but I’m likely not staying here long so I just went for it, and we work in different departments and hardly interact other than briefly passing by in the hall so whatever) and things were going well for the first month. I see LTR potential so I’ve been trying to selectively sprinkle in some beta but I’ve been thrown for a loop lately. Last week a friend of hers passed away. I saw she posted about it online and we had previously made plans for that day so I ended up texting her “hey, sorry about your friend. If you’d rather reschedule I’d totally understand”. She agreed but then she was away all weekend and we didn’t end up rescheduling. In hindsight maybe this was a bad move, but I was throwing TRP out for a second and just trying to be a decent human being. This week she told me another friend of hers was in a serious car accident. So this girls life is just getting shit on right now. I had a bunch of my own personal shit keeping me busy so we really haven’t had much time for each other. I decided to hit her up today, saying “hey, I know things have been off between us for a while because of everything going on, but let’s get together on Monday if you’re around.” She responds: “Hey thanks for the invite but with everything going on dating isn’t really a priority right now. I’ve been having a lot of fun with you but I’m not in a good head space which wouldn’t be fair to you. Thanks for being so understanding” Now this logically makes sense but also just seems like a bullshit run around. I’m just applying the Brad Pitt rule and assuming she’s not interested but maybe I’m overreacting. How should I reply? How do you guys deal with grief related situations like this when you’re not their “rock” yet because you’re not in a LTR? ------------------------- Archived from https://theredarchive.com/post/252176
