- Friday she is busy all day the show comes. we got tickets in diff sections. We meet up with friends after the show. She gets called home due to her mother not handling business, she takes forever and then I fall asleep aftet wasting time I could have spent hanging with other friends who were in town for the show who I don't get to see often.

- Sat morning we are supposed to eat breakfast together before I drive to Indiana to visit my mother. She gets called into work. That one I understand but I'm furious at this point and decide to proceed to Indiana.

After I get back home to DC I'm still annoyed about the trip, she is mad that I'm mad. We fight over it, her other issues of clingy and passive aggressive come into play. I come to this ain't worth it for an short LDR and end it
Did you ever even take this woman out on a date? It doesn’t sound like it.

Yeah, I tend to agree with this. How hard is it to buy a ticket? Especially when it's about attending with a guy she's smitten with, and really wants to get to know. That's weird. That doesn't even take planning, like some complex military strategy. An event comes up on the calendar, you buy the ticket online, or by phone, or whatever. If that's an unmanageable level of difficulty, it doesn't bode well for dating, whether long-distance or not.

*sigh*

Thats an issue lol

As the man I would have bought both tickets so that I knew she had one. If you were worried about the cost then she could have paid you back in person.

You do realize its not business right?

I am thoroughly perplexed. Buy a pair of tickets and go have fun. Simplest thing in the world.

Agreed. There wasn't one date planned. Again, perplexed.

She knew about the party before I did, she thought she purchased a ticket but never actually completed the payment and didn't find out until too late. As someone who spends a small fortune on tickets I could have told her to make sure her ticket was set if she wasn't sure she was charged, but that was not my responsibility.

Business - term used interjectionally in this case for responsibility

And as a woman I've done the same thing, especially when it was a show I wanted to go to. I buy both tickets he ended up buying t-shirts and drinks at the concert... seems logical to me.

Also, I'm an artist. I'm obsessively clean, rearrange and organize everything, and show up everywhere half an hour early so, whatever.

Was it her impression that it was a date? How far in advance was this planned? She didn’t get a ticket for the party. Then she was busy all day the next day prior to the concert where she didn’t sit next to you. Then the following day she had to work. You indicate that she is clingy, but this doesn’t seem to be the behavior of a clingy person. A clingy person would have bought you a ticket to the party and would have been by your side the entire time.
