Dating is about compatibility. If it isn't working, it isn't working. Incompatibility does not mean either person is bad or unworthy. It just means there's no point to another date, and the faster you can make that call, the better for everyone.
I don't really know either of the two people from the article, so I'll let others decide who dodged a bullet there.
Yeah if a friend send me this article I would assume we’d be laughing at how bad the author is at social interactions. It’s embarrassing reading through the story and thinking that she was the issue.
The author was throwing out huge low EQ vibes. I see this a lot especially in technical fields and it’s really aggravating as it’s never the other persons fault.
Just trying to understand here.
You say you lived in NYC but didn’t understand how the grid was in streets and avenues, incrementing to make finding “35th & 8th” or most any intersection trivial to find?
How did you typically get around? You never noticed the pattern of incrementing streets when taking the subway or walking?
Not trying to be rude, I’m just curious at how this is even possible.
I think you’re completely off? seems like the date was lacking any sense of decorum- who in their right mind suggest that someone might be a serial killer before you’ve met them? Hell, who even asks for directions at this point, just plug it in or think about the grid system. Also if someone shows up at a date sounding miserable and disinterested why would you stick around?
Sorry to vent, but it annoys me to see this posted on HN.
