This disaster date comes compliments of a friend who recently used his oh-so-precious frequent flyer miles to fly across the country in hopes of sparking a Seattle romance. Previous acquaintances, the two had since rekindled, on where else but Facebook, and had spent months Facebooking, e-mailing, instant messaging, calling etc. Tickets were booked to each’s respective city and alas, my friend departed with romantic hopes in his heart.
Once in Seattle, a few romantic moments are shared. Sips of coffee, lots of laughter- before my friend’s Seattle romance drops the “I don’t have romantic feelings for you” bomb. “Don’t you think it would have been useful information to let me know before I flew across the country?” “I wasn’t sure” was the reply.
Needless to say, a romance that soars online may slump in the real world. And there’s also something to be said for appropriate timing. If only he had the frequent flyer miles back.
Been there. Met a guy on spring break (mistake number 1) and after that wonderful week, we stayed in touch via texts, calls and emails. Then he decided to come for a visit over the summer (mistake number 2). But upon hanging out again, I realized he was definitely not the one for me. Oh well – can’t win ‘em all.
Gee, the exact same thing happened to me LOL. Okay, Okay I was the guy who went to Seattle and dumped
I would never have done that to someone. I mean, even if I didn’t have feelings for the other person, I’d fake it for a couple of days then break up with them. I had to endure 36 more hours with this person after being dumped – what fun!
