teal really proved living well is the best revenge.
Neither one is someone I want to talk to but grey really should’ve just put the phone down and focused on that promising opportunity
I don’t think grey actually has another “opportunity”. This feels like a negging tactic to me.
Remind me what negging is again
If I understand it correctly, it’s the use of negative framing of another person’s physical attributes or demeanor, constructed in the hope the receiver of the “negging” has low enough self-esteem to agree with the assessment and will assume the asshole is a person of higher intrinsic worth.
There might be more to it, but I usually just think of it as a form of reverse psychology + emotional abuse.
Green has a decent counter play against being snubbed first, but it surely is a dick move versus just saying “okay, cheers”.
However, we humans do crave drama, and I’ve been entertained, so I think in the grand scheme of things, as a miniature Shakespeare tragic comedy, I will allow for it to be cosmically more good than bad. Perhaps they both learned something. Or it’s all fake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Having someone show their red flag this early warrants a “thank god” methinks. Also, “thank the flying spaghetti monster” is more like it.
I am for having read this. Doubly for commenting,
Grey is definitely in the wrong, that’s exactly when you should have used a white lie but they were being a huge dick.
The one who flaked, and then said that there were better options. I’d respond just like the one who luckily got away.
“Hey, I’m so sorry to do this, but, something came up”.
Lmao, the other person for sure. There’s no reason to lose your shit like that
Both half wrong imo. I’m relatively new to the whole dating and multi dating thing but what I’ve come up with is:
Never ghost if you’ve made plans or texted a lot off app (so points to other person for actually cancelling)
Don’t rub it in people’s face that you’re seeing other people but be honest if asked (negative points to other person)
Accept rejection gracefully with no hard feelings. I got ghosted recently and struggled with this one but stayed strong.
Any tips appreciated though because it can be tough out there.
I really don’t think teal did anything wrong, in fact I think it would have been wrong to keep it to themself. Too much shitty behavior going unchallenged in our world these days imo.
That’s the best answer he gave. Based on the limited, implication based knowledge we have of this conversation we don’t even know is real or staged.
Gray in the wrong but teal should’ve elaborated on the thank god message
Nah, it’s way funnier that they didn’t.
Yep. Just leave them on read, and let that shit simmer.
Why?
