You know, I think some people overestimate how important and memorable they are to others.

Well the guy was IN Las Vegas, it's not that crazy that the OP thought he wasn't paying attention to her if he asked if she's ever been there. It's on the Las Vegas Strip, near Caesars palace, I think. (I wonder if he's heard of Caesars palace, or is that one just known to old people?)

Anyway the sign out front says Planet Hollywood Las Vegas.

Maybe OPs bf is communicating with multiple women, and gets a lot of pictures. That may be why he took awhile to respond or get his story straight. ("Oh! You're the one who sent me that picture)

And it wouldn't be weird in the slightest for people using OLD to have seen many, many pictures.

I got married in Vegas and I would not have recalled the exact placement on the strip of this particular casino. I do know the Luxor, Circus Circus and the Bellagio.

If I were doing OLD I would not be expecting the person to have only approached me and to hyperfocus where they remembered the backgrounds of all of my pics flawlessly, that's for sure. If I did expect to be that stellar I might make one lighthearted comment and then leave it at that. Or I might just be realistic and realize people on OLD look at probably hundreds of pictures.

Yes! I'm different, too, I wouldn't have said anything back, I would've assumed I'm not all that interesting to him and moved right along.

So while he's in Vegas, he texted me and asked if I have been to Vegas. I was like yes, the photo you saw of me was taken in vegas. How do you not remember. He said he remembers the photo but didn't know it's in Vegas, so I said " there's the Hollywood building behind me... hello.."

After that conversation, he suddenly seem to be distant to me.... so I was wondering if what I said offensive? Annoying? Obnoxious? Should I apologize? I thought I was just being playful and teasing him not paying attention to my photo.. ((
Well did you really get on to him big time? If so, that would be a turnoff.

But I could see this scenario happening. Planet Hollywood's are all over they place aren't they? And between your picture he probably viewed 100 other pictures and he was probably to distracted to know what he was asking. So maybe this is something else?

The bigger question is if he’s offended by your quip is he the type of man that you still want?

The way she answered him would only have been minimally acceptable if she had been standing in front of a huge sign that said LAS VEGAS

LOL. OP I agree with this. He is in Vegas with the guys, I mean, you've been there. Are you that clueless? I'm actually surprised he even text you at all. You're overthinking things. Seriously. Much ado about NOTHING.

I Googled images and the building just says Planet Hollywood...? It doesn't say "Planet Hollywood Las Vegas."

I actually had to look that up as even though I too am from California and I have been to Vegas, and indeed, got married there, I'd have had NO clue looking at the bottom of this building (unless the OP is four stories tall) that this was what the place was. That's just me...

We're splitting hairs at this point, though...

1. The OP obviously not only knew what she was saying might have been (in her word) offensive, but she was even able to pinpoint that exact part of the convo as the potential culprit so it's not like we're reaching here or anything. She's the one who thought maybe she'd said something wrong...which means, well...she may have indeed said something wrong. I mean she got that she probably put her foot in her mouth, who knows, maybe she was trying to be sassy or what-have-you, thinking it would be attractive. Otherwise, she'd be utterly mystified, yes? She'd be like "we were talking and so on, or texting, and then he didn't text me back for days, what happened, that's weird?"

2. She didn't snark once or twice but three times, I think...it's not like it was just an oopsie. She obviously DOES think he's a box of rocks.

3. They don't "get" each other's humor.

4. He appears not to be super-interested in her history.

So...yeah...maybe not a match? Move on, OP. You guys don't "click." And if it's gonna be this much work, well...
