It's fairly obvious isn't it? First thing she did after cancelling was tell some other bloke she wasn't going on a date, and she clearly doesn't want to see him yet instead of just saying 'You are not my type' its 'I'm ill, dont worry, we will meet soon'.

If she has no interest in him just blow him out and move on!
It's funny how you can think of all this over one sentence. I texted guy 'A' saying I'm not feeling great and asked if we can rearrange for another day. He replied saying no probs and that there's no point struggling through if I'm not feeling well. I then replied and asked him when he's next free.

Guy 'B' then called me and asked me what I'm up to, I said nothing because I'm not feeling well and he goes 'I thought you had a date tonight?'. I said no I've cancelled because I'm not well.

"First thing she did after cancelling was tell some other bloke she wasn't going on a date". Really???

I said I won't explain but it really annoys me when you all just think the worse of me.
 
hmm so it's gone from me " You overthink to much, we've already told you, stop thinking of little details "

to Mischief, phew i'm in the clear :p
 
Millions of people apparently like Big Brother if the viewing figures are anything to go by, I'm prepared to go out on a limb and say they're in the wrong despite their numbers. :p

I don't really know MisChief and I've not read many of her posts in here about dating but it's not all that novel for guys and girls to have different interpretations of the same actions.

But you've not mentioned all the other people numbering hundreds of million who don't like Big Brother. Taking that into consideration your example doesn't really work :p

It's not really about it being guys v girls. Contradictions are contradictions whoever posts them which will become clear if you read through some of this thread :)
 
It seems the people that are having a problem with her seem to be analysing her remarks extra closely. The only reason I believe this is is because she's a woman. If I came on here and said I didn't fancy going on a date with girl x at that time and told her I wanted to do it another time I suspect that none of you would bat an eyelid (my girlfriend however, might!). It seems that you are being the bunny boilers and blaming Mischeif personally for every time you believe you've been messed around.

Oh please don't play the female card! I'd point this out to anyone who continually contradicted themselves. In fact I've given harsh but fair opinions to guys on here. They've taken it as a positive thing and not moaned about it!

Personally I'm not blaming MisChief for anything. When I was on PoF I have many great dates, made loads of new friends and took the good with the bad. I also didn't contradict myself several times when posting here.

Suggesting we're bunny boilers when ALL we're doing is pointing out something that takes NO effort to spot is very poor.

If MisChief doesn't want people to comment on her posts all she has to do is stop posting about her online dating.
 
From POF.
I normally give my number to ones I'm going on dates with, but they are sapping the excitement from it. It's like being in a relationship already :/ How can you want to text me that much, we've never met.
 
The issue here is her not wanting to go on a date at that time. Dates take effort, especially at the end of a hard and busy week. Fox initially started this by suggesting she was doing something wrong by postponing and you agreed with this when you suggested I was wrong for stating he was wrong.

I'm suggesting that you're a bunny boiler (or at least displaying bunny boiling behaviour) by analysing her posts so closely and drawing such wild conclusions from them which are so far removed from what she initially wrote. It just screams of you having an issue with what she is doing (and nothing she has done or said recently has been 'wrong', 'bad' or 'inappropriate' to a rational person without some sort of agenda.

I'm sure she is more than happy for people to discuss what she has said and done but it's reasonable to expect that the person doesn't mutate her words and decide that she is doing something which she isn't.


You have a dizzying way of thinking about things! She didn't want to see the guy again, tells us as much, then when he asks for another date she say's "I'm not feeling well" rather than knocking it on the head there and then.

What part of that requires analysing or suggests a wild conclusion? It's clear you're sticking up for MisChief which is your choice. Trying to make out I'm some kind of nut job when the facts are in clear text and have also been pointed out by others is far more nutty than noticing something and posting an observation.

It's quite amusing how you're using sly insults about me not being rational when again I'm not the only one who's spotted this! I take it you're suggesting all the other posters are also irrational bunny boilers?

This is something I've found quite common on PoF. Once they have your number it's like you're in a full on relationship.

My advice is to not encourage a text conversation as these tend to go on for hours. If you want to see them arrange a date and see how that goes.

In the past I've openly told someone they're texting is a little too forward and if things are to progress they need to calm down a little.

When did I say I didn't want to see the guy again? When did he ask for another date followed by me supposedly saying 'I'm not feeling well'?
 
We are reading it differently because thats how it came across - she even seemed sad that he was concerned for her, surely thats a good thing... unless you wanted to ditch him.

And no, I've not been messed around in the past - I'm just telling it how I see it. It's purely personal opinion - but as its an issue of perception I think personal opinion is quite relevant :)

I'm supposed to be seeing a guy for the 2nd time tomorrow but I really don't want to anymore. I feel as if all these dates are wasting my time, money and energy :(

Well I've texted the guy and said I'm not feeling great and asked if we can rearrange for another day. He seemed pretty nice about it and a little concerned :(

Do you really forget what you've written that easily?

Are we supposed to be mind readers and fill in the info that shows it in another light or take what has been posted and comment on that?

Firstly, I do want to see the guy again. If I didn't, why would I bother asking him when he's free again? Just because I said I really didn't want to go on the date today, doesn't mean I don't want to go tomorrow, the day after or the week after?

Secondly, he did not ask for another date. I asked him for another date.

Just goes to show that you're not reading my posts properly. As Ahleckz mentioned, some of you "mutate her words and decide that she is doing something which she isn't."
 
I'm not insulting you, I'm just suggesting my views on the matter. I feel that these are backed up by Mischief and I'm reading her comments in the same (or at least very similar) way that she is posting. You, Fox and Broken Hope are reading it totally differently and I'm trying to figure out why that is.

Dating for men is a very different experience to that of women and I'm not entirely sure that you appreciate this. Yes, women can be crazy and irrational and their behaviour impossible to explain (as can men). However other times the story being told is amazingly the truth. I'm getting the impression that you are suggesting that her comments are laced with female manipulation and she is intent on playing games whereas I don't think that she is. The only justification for this is because you've felt that you've been messed around in the past. If I insulted you then I apologise and I can promise you I didn't mean to do so.

Edit - It seems that from Mischief's post above that me and her are on the same page.

It's honestly got nothing to do with who's posting it and by that I mean a woman. It's just doesn't come across well and not for one moment suggesting female manipulation. Some people post what's on their mind without thinking how it looks. Men and women do this it's not exclusive. My original comments all those posts ago were only to suggest that MisChief thinks a little more about how her posts come across.

As people have mentioned before. Many of us don't know each other so it's important to get the message across in our posts :)

We're all going around in circles. You want to see the guy again and that's cool but your posts whether you think they do or not don't portray this intent.

I'm not going to bother anymore. How your posts read are clearly different from how you want them to come across. Now I know this it doesn't require any more thought.
