Yeah, sounds like she was soaking up the attention and she already has a boyfriend.

Online dating is a drag, but I have met some pretty cool people from online in person.

My brother would say in this case that no matter what, you dodged a bullet with this one.

AG

There seems to be a weird vibe to younger girls. My son found that before he found his g/f I told you about.

They seem really flaky, not all of them but there is kind of a flaky non committal kind of vibe.

On here, we have some great younger woman like Odette and others.

There are some flakes, too( names withheld)

I wish you could find the kind of girl my son did, AG. If I had one wish for you, it would be this!

FIDO. Never was anything to begin with. There are limitations to the online world, one of which it's impossible to judge sincerity or lack thereof without face to face contact.

You don't subscribe to the equivocating ambivalence school of thought. She does. You are impatient. She wants to take it slow, or maybe isn't interested in anything more than online flirting. Stop wasting your time fretting. Time to move on.

No, I don't see much, except a very wide orb Venus-Vertex and Moon-North Node Conjunction.

I am leaning more and more to a larger Vertex orb, however.

The whole online to offline transition - is kind of 'delicate' for some people.

First of all they might need more time to get to know someone online before they meet. Some people are scared of potential 'creepers'... so they might want to Skype beforehand, and make sure you are who you say you are.. for example.

Secondly they might not have been completely honest about themselves.. They could be hiding minor or major details.. Usually I would think it is minor details.. because the average Jane/Joe is not demented enough to pretend they are an entirely different person leading an entirely different life.
But even if they are hiding relatively minor things - they might blow them up in their minds and make them *huge*.
For example - lets say a girl who posted pics of herself at 21 and she is now 22.. and she has gained 5 kg. Maybe from your perspective as a guy - you could care less.. and you would just think she is attractive regardless. But from her perspective she could panic about meeting you.

Thirdly - Some people might just like talking to you online, but they might not want anything more serious than that. Maybe she felt you were moving too fast.. and she wasn't interested in dating just yet. Maybe she was still making up her mind about you - and she could've thought it was pushy that you insisted.
I don't like it when people can't be honest and straight forward though... Saying just 'idk' is lame and then completely avoiding you is also lame.
But - some people are too wimpy to be honest - and others simply could care less about anyone but themselves - so they don't feel they 'owe' you anything after a week of online/sms interaction.

Her: "IDK"

You: "No? What makes you hesitant?"

Her: "Well, I usually don't meet people in person this fast, I really need to get to know people better first...but how do you feel about getting together with a group or something?"

or

Her: "I don't know, my car's broken down and I'm not sure where you want to meet or how I would get there."

or

Her: "Well, this is fun, but you might see me in person and think less of me. You might think my pic was misleading or whatever. I kind of have to work up my nerve here."

or

Her: "I wasn't expecting you to ask so I'm just not prepared with an answer right away. No offense, I'm just a cautious person and have to get used to the idea first."

^ All those answers she might have given are totally understandable, but of course, it's easier to assume she was just using you, being coy, being malicious, or whatever.

Like, why deviate EVER from your usual pattern of translating events?

I guess you and I are similar in some aspects and dissimilar in others.

Like you, to me, IDK means "No." To me, it's ambivalence and a less-than-enthusiastic response. Even if "Yes" were to be the eventual answer, I would have lost all interest at that point. I don't like wasting time and energy on the disinterested.

The difference here is that I would have gone completely silent after "IDK" a f would have gone on my merry way. Subsequent communication would have been politely terminated with "I don't think it's in our mutual interest...." I don't see why you wanted to give a lecture. She doesn't care for you. Why would she be interested in your lecture?

Time to move on.

Lol, I actually side with you on this one Aqua.

Honestly, a lot of people on online dating sites are lonely but not lonely enough to step outside their comfort zones. They just want people to make them feel good, give them that temporary high.

Don't stress, you'll find someone eventually.

I'm not that romantic in the traditional sense but..online dating sites takes the thrill and excitement. Now you just have to worry if they look like their pic and everyone is either really thirsty or catfish.
I'd rather die alone , no offensive to others.
Just my opinion..


lmao can I carry you in my pocket to crack me up all day thanks. You'd have to be really naive to be catfished now though. But some are… just watch Dr. Phil.. woman gave up $50,000, sold her house, for a guy she never met. Craziness.

Yeah your response seemed negative, REALLY bitter and demanding.

You should have relaxed. If somebody replied with that, I probably wouldn't have responded either.

Asking for a straight and honest answer is demanding and negative?

well you did kind of take out your frustrations on her.
you could have just said "ok" and ended it lol. hearing that response makes me think you are desperate, and women do not want to be with someone they think is desperate.

no, I just wanted a straight answer lmao. I hate dishonesty and "idk " is a dishonest answer. I don't even know why people try to fool each other with silly crap like that. Everyone knows "idk" or other noncommittal answers means no 99% of the time, so why not just come right out and say it? Lol

It's the way you said it.
You could have said 'Lol, so is that a yes or a no? I'll take that as a yes, can't wait :P' instead of dragging all your baggage up and showing it to her right off the bat haha.
