I read it as, maybe she's had a string of bad luck dating. You can have a lot of bad luck dating, and by the book, not make bad dating moves. Have a few of those and it can really change your outlook on dating. Just look at the overall sentiment for online dating here.

Who said anything about all women being a psycho in the making? You're taking this way too personal.

I'm not taking it personally but there have been a number of responses that indicate she's the next Fatal Attraction. I see a woman who was frustrated by lack of communication, not a serial stalker in training.

Really, because if the roles were reversed and a dude called up a woman like that after knowing her only one week, he'd be labeled as creepy, controlling, stalker, and a serial killer in the making.

No one here is saying "all" women are psychos in the making as you suggest.

I stand by my first answer (the first reply) to this thread where when she called the first time, he could have let her know he wasn't available to talk/text during the day. I don't know if they work opposite hours or what her justification was for calling during his business hours. To me, it doesn't matter what the reason, there was no communication about it. From her perspective, he was ignoring her/blowing her off, so by the time he did get around to returning her call, she was done with him. This could have been avoided.

And if you read back through the thread, there is a recurrent theme of psycho/bunny boiler. I didn't imply that anyone believes all women are psychos. I simply disagree with the idea that her calling a few times makes her a potential psycho.

I agree 100%. For someone in a high profile management position I'd say the OPs management or PR skills are lacking. When he gave her his # he should have told her he could not take personal calls at work and reinforced this if she did call him at work. Instead he said:

I said "you must be kidding me" I also said, "there's not one women on the planet the will ever come before my job."

Now if she continued calling him at work knowing it was inappropriate, thats a different story.

That being said, I do hope when you eventually get married you do put your wife/family before your job. Otherwise, I suspect you may not have a very happily married life! lol
This.
