I texted a girl after a couple of dates that altho she was nice and everything, I just didn't feel there was a connection between us, and that I didnt want to go out with her anymore. I thought I did it really softly, I even said "I hope you can find a sweet guy" at the end. Instead of taking the rejection like an adult I just got cursed out...wtf. It was three f'ing dates, and it was pretty obvious that there was no chemistry between us. Why can't people just handle rejection normally?

First world entitlement and not knowing how to take an L gracefully. I get people catch feelings quickly, I've done it whole lotta time, but no excuse to be a jacka$% because had the courtesy to tell you they don't feel you like that.

Everybody takes rejection poorly. If you dump somebody with a text message, you shouldn't be surprised that the response is a flame. Yeah, only a couple of dates but texting someone to flush them is not exactly great etiquette.

Hhaha...you got cursed out just for rejecting a girl nicely? I think is actually a good thing because now you know she has a bad temper. Is better to know it now than getting into a relationship together and find out down the road. This kind of girl, just ignore them, they are not worth your time to worry about even being a friend.

For only a couple of dates typically people ghost. Any notification even through text is a hell of a lot more courtesy than most get after two dates.

This.

Texting someone is such an easy copout: handing out the bad news remotely rather than having a face2face about.

No one likes being dumped, but texting is pretty low on the respect scale

I'd rather not people waste my time wanting to see me to say they don't want a 3rd or 5th day. You don't own me crud at early stages of dating.


If we actually had a relationship, that's different.

Think at the point you decided to dump someone, you couldn't care less about respect, especially if you are doing it after only two dates.

I dumped my gf last week via text because 99 percent of our communication was text and we live 6 hours apart. Think it was reasonable and mutual.

Maybe because you only texted her about it, like a chicken? After 3 dates, you don't think she deserves a phone call? What is she, a drive-up window?
