If a guy doesn't call/ text how do you respond, after you have been talking/texting (129)
2intrigued: Outside of extenuating circumstances beyond his control, I would assume he's lost interest. Not having the balls to give the reason is indication enough that he's probably not a good match for you anyway. It's nice to dodge a bullet early on.
he finally texted last night, but I'm not going to be as interested as I was...to me it's a red flag...but you are so very right 
SoonerGal: when we talk on the phone he does 90% of the talking...he talks himself in a corner
I know somebody like that. Narcissist!!
ooby_dooby: It's my guess that you wore him out with dialogue. Maybe you talked him into a corner and he saw no easy way out. I'm thinking maybe it just wasn't fun anymore, more like a chore keeping up the banter. Some people enjoy the back & forth chatter, just look at some of the threads on here that go on for 15 pages and say basically nothing. It's almost like a game of one upmanship, many people, myself included, lose interest in that fairly soon if nothing meaningful is discussed.
monteisback: How much you wanna bet that he was reading the whole thread as all of us wrote our input??
I'm betting that you told him you are on CS
I'm betting that you told him you are on CS
No, I've never told him about CS...so no he wasn't reading the thread
pretty sure he doesn't even know it existjac_the_gripper: I did wonder what it meant.
I was confused as I thought we all had red blood.
Although if we're in the game of one-upmanship, I might claim having blue blood.

Sayings have meanings.
They communicate something to others.

Fair enough.
monteisback: Definition of red blooded American:http://www.thefreedictionary.com/red-blooded
I did have a clue that it actually had a definition
always thought of it as like saying "cats got your tongue" and sayings like that...SoonerGal: I did have a clue that it actually had a definition always thought of it as like saying "cats got your tongue" and sayings like that...
Sayings have meaning...
"The idiom is used to compel someone to speak, say something, or give a response when they are (unusually) quiet. It is often said by adults to children. When someone is speechless or without words (sometimes out of surprise) you will say “Cat got your tongue?” to prompt them to react."
They communicate something.
monteisback: Well I'd say the dictionary has a good definition and it's not "cat's got your tongue".
I understand that...so if you don't mind, I don't see where it means anything bad..your intake?
Why would you ignore him? He could have had an accident or something.
SoonerGal: I understand that...so if you don't mind, I don't see where it means anything bad..your intake?
The virility context of the phrase 'red blooded American' implies status, or superiority, so by commenting to psygnar that he wouldn't understand, but any red blooded American would, you appeared to be implying American (white American) superiority over him.
It came across as prejudiced towards his ethnicity and nationality (or at least his place of residence) and given that psygnar is plainly an extremely intelligent young man, it lead to the appearance of you being too dull to understand him, rather than the other way round.
I get the impression psygnar's just a bright, playful fella looking for a bit of banter, SG. I can't see why you thought he was trolling here on your thread.

and this is how wars are started...if I set there and analyzed every word that someone spoke I'd be here all day...you can always make something out of nothing, it never once was intended to pun someone...but now that we've opened that can of worms, your going to make me out to be a horrible person. Not once did I ever say he was trolling, actually was enjoying the conversation...so don't put words in my mouth or what my meaning was behind what I said...no need to be a pot stirrer IMO

SoonerGal: yah right, and I have a bridge
Comments about bridges on forums usually imply accusations of trolling.
I've seen you use the word 'pun' a couple of times now and it obviously has a different meaning to you than it does to me. It's not a matter of analysing words all day, it's simply a matter of trying to communicate accurately and trying to understand the words you're using.
If you say something and it comes across as really rude and racially, ethnically, or nationally prejudiced then people are going to react. If you don't understand the meaning, or origins of a saying, I appreciate you didn't mean to be rude, but maybe it's worth analysing those sayings before you use them.

see once again your "assuming" my meaning behind "bridge" when in fact it's a song about someone trying to sell the golden gate bridge...WoW!!! so I was teasing him meaning I had a bridge to sell...geez I'm done, I don't have to explain myself...why don't you ask him if he felt I was insulting him...good day, I'm done with this conversation

...with an comment about selling a bridge to him? What does that bridge selling thing mean?
SoonerGal: I understand that...so if you don't mind, I don't see where it means anything bad..your intake?
Of course it doesn't mean anything bad. It's just a misunderstanding of what the three words mean
I came back to catch up with the conversation SG

She is from a totally different background then you are SG.
When we Americans say "I've got a bridge for ya" the other person knows exactly what it means.
For those who don't know what it means......It means that what someone just said to you is so preposterous to believe and if that person wants you to believe it.... I've got a bridge to sell you
Meaning, who is going to buy a bridge?

did you ever hear the country song Ocean front property in Arizona? It says in there that if they'll buy that, then he'll throw the golden gate in free...you know what, this has made me tired
I promise I never intended to cause this...thank you Monte

SoonerGal don't sweat it and I used to hear a few other expressions which were going around when I was kid.
Ever hear the one "I heard it through the grapevine? I found a website of Weird Origin of 15 Expressions and they all brought back some memories of how many times I've heard them.

Of course I know about ocean front property in Arizona.
Don't worry about it SG. Some people like to think they know it all when in reality they don't
Many different cultures on here. To call someone dull in a derogatory way is so wrong
Irish people use a lot of words that I don't know what they mean. One of them is craic. I think it means funny but I'm not sure.
monteisback: Once again I need to remind you that you did say she is "too dull to understand his ethnicity.

That's very different to your misquote of mine.
