My best friend and I were discussing via text message about this guy who wants to date me. I compiled a long text message explaining to her why I would never date this guy, but instead of sending it to my friend, I accidentally sent it to the guy instead. doh He never contacted me again ever since, and I just went quiet too. Should I call him to apologise? confused

Why apologise?

If what you said in the message was true and you don't want to date him, why stir it all up again?

Move on, and hope he has also.

In the grander scheme of things, it probably would be neither here nor there if you didn't.......... personally, I would. If you do, just don't necessarily expect a reply.

Having said that, it depends on how bad it was, if it was really bad, you may get a nasty response back, so could be better to just leave it??

I went into very detailed and specific reasons why I wouldn't date him. I wouldn't have been able to say any of that to him without hurting his ego blushing

I would love to read that txt message!!!
Not to make fun of the guy but to gain some insight into the workings of the female mind. If you don't want to post it here you could email it to me and I could reciprocate by giving you my reaction from the male point of view.
Who knows, maybe the guy will take it as constructive criticism and correct some of his "shortcomings" (no pun intended) sorry I couldn't help myself!

I'm curious, do you think he realizes that you screwed up by sending it to him by mistake?

I agree with what is written here.

I know you feel awful because it was a mistake but as you said you would never date the guy---all you are going to do bye addressing him now is to give him a false sense of things.

Nobody likes to make a mistake and some will go out of their way to correct their mistakes.
That sense of wrong you are feeling may be from the mistake you made and has nothing to do with him at all but your self.canada

This isn't even a part of this thread---I have already addressed dand in private as well as in that other thread.

I am sure she is able to speak for herself and speaking for one's self is what I respect the most.

I know times have changed and gangs beat up people today instead of one on one like it used to be but I am old school---please let people speak for them self.

hell, it's over with...let it go.

Unless you are into playing games and want him to perdue you so you can let him down in person!!

God! why wouldn't I be surprised if that were the reason!!!!

Im with you on this one, its just a realy sad way to find out someone does not want to date you. It would have been better just to say, Thank you, but, i dont want to go out with you.
