I meet a new gal last week(no, not that one, this is a new one). Several times she's called me whilte I was at work. I have a management position and it's high profile. So when a non-work related call/text comes in, it's goes to voice mail or if it's a text, I answer it later.

When I called once I got off of work today, this DUMMIE said: "every time I call you're busy, so since you're so busy lose my number". Basically saying, to stop calling her. 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. She hung up on me.


Maybe I'm missing something.

Personally, I think you could have headed this off at the pass by telling her, prior to today, that you have a high-profile management position and you're unavailable for personal calls and texts during the workday.

Exactly. You pretty much shot yourself in the foot!

This sums it all up. Nothing else to add.

I think she was out of line. Yes, you could have told her you aren't available for personal calls/text during work-day hours when you gave her your number, but she sounds like an overreacting drama queen, and I think you dodged a bullet.

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

Agreed somewhat, Depending if she actually knew your work hours in regard to the times she was calling and texting. If she did, Why could she not wait until you were not at work to try and contact you? You called her back when you were able to and got a negative reaction. Since you two likely engaged in conversation before exchanging numbers she had to have some idea of your work and it's schedule. Move on from here, Just was not in the cards either way.

She just did you a huge favor. She sounds like a self-absorbed brat.

He just met her a week ago and she's called him a few times during the week, yet couldn't be bothered to mention until now that he's not available to talk or text during that time. If she didn't know that, she probably thinks he's just blowing her off.

This is why good communication is so crucial in all of our relationships, dating, married or otherwise.

It happens man. She may be dealing with a personal issue and decided to take it out on you. I know I've misdirected my frustrations before. I'll bet there's more to it than that.

She sounds nuts. What kind of a person does a complete 180 on you simply because you couldn't be reached during normal business hours? You dodged a bullet because that was just the tip of the "crazy" iceberg that would eventually sink your ship.
