Just wanted a MN sense check on this. I’m pretty sure this would have been unlikely to have been anything I did, but you know those nagging doubts… I am unused to OLD, or dating in general really.
I got chatting to a woman over messenger. We exchanged back and forth and agreed to meet up for a coffee/wander around and a chat. She wasn’t super chatty over message but she said she was a bit chilli with people until she got to know them.
The morning of the meeting she messaged to say that her DD was off school so she could only stay a couple of hours. I messaged back saying that was fine, I was only expecting to be a couple of hours, but if she’d prefer we could reschedule. I understand because I also have a child of the same age.
We met up and seemed to get on well.
She messaged me before I’d even got home to say she’d enjoyed meeting me and that she thought I was lovely. I said I’d enjoyed spending time with her too and that I would like to meet up again. She agreed that she said she’d love to. She also added me on FB.
We exchanged a few brief messages over the next couple of days, then got chatting over message again and I asked if she would like to meet. She said yes and we arranged to meet the following week, arranged place and time etc. We both said we were looking forward to it. She seemed very keen at this point.
We didn’t message again apart from I sent her a benign joke I thought she would appreciate about something we were discussing when we met up. She responded with a laughing emoji.
Then two days before the date she messaged simply saying, ‘Hi Itwasntmeright, I can’t meet you on Wednesday, I’m sorry.’ I messaged back to say no worries, is everything alright? She didn’t respond, the message was left unread.
I was a bit puzzled by this as she genuinely seemed keen, and I did like her. I messaged the following day and said, ‘Hi, I’m just messaging to check you’re ok. I won’t ask you to meet up as you’ve said you don’t want to, this is just a friendly enquiry to ask if you’re alright.’ Again, no response and the message was left unread. She hadn’t deleted me off facebook though.
I haven’t messaged again. The next day after I’d had no response I deleted the messages and deleted her off my facebook. I took it as a not interested.
This was unlikely to have been anything I’d said or done, was it? She seemed really keen, then she just cancelled. It shocked me a bit as she had been so keen, and we did seem to genuinely have a lot in common and get on.
