I don't think she "played" him, and I'm not convinced he was behind the break-in.

She just wasn't that "into" him.

People usually don't want to say/hear honesty such as "I don't want to spend more time with you, have a nice life". They want to talk it out and analyze when it would be best to just move on.

Right. I wouldn't assume he was played, especially since we don't know her side of the story.

She doesn't sound like a player...she just sounds foolish and careless.

I'm missing something. Trying to get to know someone better by inviting them to lunch and then making excuses later to avoid them because it turns out you don't like them is just how social behavior works. IMHO.
Right. It was a first date that didn't work out. Nobody got played. The guy clearly thought he had, though, according to the narrative.

But who invites a stranger to their home for a first date? And who freaks out over a first date that didn't turn into a second one?

Why has nobody suggested the obvious twist here ...

... that she's a psycho who staged the break-in and framed the first-date dude in order to solicit sympathy from the person she REALLY has a crush on.

Y'all need to watch more Forensic Files.

lol! Wow, CD-R isn't keeping up, that's for sure! Maybe she staged it for the insurance pay-off, because she wanted to redecorate, and get a new stereo system and TV. OP, did she have renter's insurance?

it sucks that her home got broken into but i don't feel sorry for her. If she's not into him, then at least have the respect to tell him that instead of making up BS excuses like a little girl would.

I like the title of this thread. There's certain people you absolutely DO NOT screw with. I DO NOT play games (anymore) because i know karma too well and she's a cold............

Does your friend has insurance? And i hope she quits playing these games with men. If this isn't a possible wake up call, then i don't know what is...

What games? Who was playing games? She invited a guy on a first date. He thought there was chemistry, she didn't. The end. MOST first dates end that way.


What if, after a first date, some guy decided to move on, because she was a dud, let's say. He was charming about it, and like so many guys, at the end of the date, he said "I'll call you", but never does. Would that be "playing games", leading her on, with a first date? Would it be ok for her to exact revenge on him in some way, because he "played her" for a first date? Do you see how deranged that thinking is?

Accordingly to the OP's opening post, they were "into each other" but she made excuses to not to see him and lied about her being sick. Unless something else happened that im not aware of, then that's playing someone for a fool IMO.

Moving on is great if he would told her that. From what i read, things were going well and they were into each other but she decided to play "the ghosting game" and made up excuses.

I understand that it happens on first dates quite often but at least have the respect to tell the other person you're no longer interested instead of making up excuses.
