so,

here is something new to put down to experience.

I had a date last thursday. In my city, shops are open untill 2100 pm on thursday.
I had a date, first time, guy I met in real life.

we went for something to eat in the city.

it was crowded and I had a few words with a woman about a seat in the restaurant.
she became very ugly towards me....I shall spare you details but in short, I told her to get lost and turned my back at her and her friends. the rest of our time in the restaurant, she kept attacking me verbally........and what did my date do?

sat quietly, ate his meal with the speed of light, kissed farewell and walked away.
texting me he had a nice evening out but was not interested.

doh

the knight had rusty armour and his horse was terminal I guess.
what a bummer.....not even one word to stand up for me...

I wonder if there is any hope left...

Well all I can say is, its a good thing you found out what hes made of right up front, rather than down the road and when you really need him. Can you imagine this guy in a crisis?? sigh comfort hug

Well here is the thing about disagreements between people.There are three sides to every story.There are the sides of the two people involved and then there is the unvarnished,harsh light of day truth that neither want to accept.Everyone wants to be right.



You're date may of seen the fight between you two as your fault?He may of seen you as the one to instigate and keep it going?This may of been the reason why he did not get involved? He may of been so turned off by what he saw that this is the reason he didn't want to see you again?



Keep in mind I am not saying you were the one at fault,the one who started it or the one who kept it going,but he may of seen it that way.

It takes two people to fight.

Olsojente: If I had been out with a man who acted as aggressive as you seem to have been, I wouldn't even had the meal, but left straight away...


You are right...I guess I would have walked away myself.

but the fun thing is..
I am not agressive at all. I just asked for the chair that belonged to that table, it was not in use, only for some coats that they shoud have put in the hall.

it was the woman's aggresion that made me feel like I was just a schoolgirl.

I am 40! she was 25 or something.

If she just explained in a soft voice that I couldn't get the chair for some important reason, it would have been fine by me.

but I got irritated because the woman attacked me for no reason and my date just didn't stand up for me.

Why do you think she was being aggressive? I'd have done exactly the same thing. I admire people who can stand up for themselves and the guy sounds more like a timid mouse. jmo.

So would I!


If a man I was with had gone up to someone,asked them for something and they said no,then he decided to get pissed off and call them insulting names while making a big scene,I would not only of walked away I would of run as fast as my feet could carry me.

some people call the one standing up to them- a bully- aggressive

when their plan is to batter you down and you dont kneel they find a way to make you the bad guy- pretend you are the agreesor- puh-lease

and screw that guy

i cannot stand when someone sits and says nothing

principles dont change based on who is behaving badly
he didnt have to make a scene or even say a word to the other party-
just be a friend to some effing degree

there is no 3 sides to a story when you are standing right there with the story unfolding- you have eyes and wrong is wrong

i hate human mice

there is something between getting loud, getting involved or just ignoring it

sorry this happened to you carenza but now ya know-
he was not even friend material let alone best friend material

i have been in the same situation and my friend may have disagreed with me but at least the situation was acknowledged for chrissakes

well IMO he should have asked for the chair. Kinda went down hill from that point I think. Maybe I just like being the princess with my guy but I like to feel like he is looking out for me and he should have seen that you had a place to sit down
like I said JMHO

Well whatever the situation was, he obviously had no backbone to even voice a thought in your direction. Therefore you are probably better off without him!! Hey just think - you could have went on and married the guy and found out later!!!!dunno

Personally, I would have demanded the chair on her behalf. Once I had it if the women was still giving off vibes I would have insisted on leaving.I would have done so to ensure that my date was relaxed elsewhere without having to worry about what else may happen.
Some dates can simply be put down to fate.A different setting and the date could have turned out so much different.
PS: I bet that one of the first things you did was check out the size of his bulge?

next time ask the waiter to get you a chair. You're a client and it's not up to you to wrestle with other clients for a chair! As for your date I guess he got a little nervous seeing you all worked up. If this was your first date with him he obviously doesn't know that you don't do this kind of thing as a habit. cheers
