In your previous posts, you implied that you did set up another date with her and didn't show up. If you didn't make plans to meet up with her, then why would you say this:

"No, but for once I wasn’t the one who took the L and ended up sad. She did after she so desperately begged me for another chance."

Why would she take the L somewhere and end up sad, as you put it, if all you did was not respond to her attempts to contact you?

Again, I didn’t set up another date with her. I just didn’t respond at all to her 15 or so attempts which got more desperate as they went along. I said that statement because she invested more emotionally into than I did and usually the inverse is true, so that is why I said I didn’t take the L because for once I had the upper hand emotionally.

Did any of them, especially the last one who repeatedly tried to get in touch with you after, have any personal issues or emergencies going on at the time? Maybe ones that you could know about if you just talked to her?

I'm just trying to understand why it would happen to you three times with three women in such a short span of time. That's pretty unusual IMO, honestly I've never heard of that myself.
They probably just read his posts here and decide to be happy and ghost lol

There's another old phrase for this: Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

You are wrong.

I (for one) am intelligent enough to consider new information and to admit to changing my opinion if previously unknown *facts* warrant doing so.

So much for choosing to be 'right', eh?

I see. It sounded like you had.

WRONG! I always admit when someone brings up new information that I didn't know, or different points that DO change my mind in the moment, I will be the first to admit it. It's called friendly conversation where I come from ...

When in doubt, say NO. Choose what you think is right. I may not know what your referring to as BS things, but whatever makes you uncomfortable, just say no.

WOW! a special kind of person!

You could be my worst enemy, but you would never know it. I will call out people for lying and cheating

I agree 100 %!!
I would rather be alone then be with someone who always has to have their way...even if their ways or views would be hurtful to me in some way shape or form.I believe that there are someone out there for everyone so there shouldn't be a need to just go along with someone just to keep that person happy.You're not existing if you go that route.
