TA, you're welcome to borrow my fence maul. Use it to, um, beat some sense into him

Well, if you go that route then you need to remember that shit splatters...

[technical.angel]

Thanks everyone!

I've moved from the slightly moapy stage to the angry stage.

The jerk hasn't even tried contacting me since. :rollseyes:

Dear Smeghead:

I'm glad you were sane enough to find the testicle fortitude to type out your letter to me.
I'm glad you were honest and upfront about being a wuss, and about not being able to go on a date with me.

I enjoyed our time together, NOT, and will use this knowledge for future growth.

Thank you, so FOAD,

TA


woman, this guy is about as spineful as a jellyfish having sex with a spaghetti noodle.
I heard 4 year old, lameass, wussy guy and brainless all in that last email. You can do better. MUCH better.

Jenni, that guy needs to grow a set before he tries dating again. And you don't need to settle for guys like that.

A meaningful, true relationship that works is worth waiting for, even if it seems like it's never going to happen. It's NOT worth it settling for a guy who probably had to hyperventilate into a paper bag just to turn you down over e-mail.

[Jester]

I see there as being four possibilities here.

1. This dude has the worst luck possible, and can't schedule a date without something going catastrophically wrong and making him have to schedule. It is not common, but Murphy's Law really can fuck with people at times. I tend to discount this because of his email, which was just the lamest piece of shit I've seen today. And I dealt with customers today, and not the best ones, either!

2. He is a pansy lameass who just can't summon up enough cojones to actually go on a real date with a real woman without wetting himself.

3. He is yanking you around to be an asshole.

4. He is not who he has been claiming to be online, and now that the moment of truth is here, he is looking for any way out possible. I notice you say you have not actually talked on the phone. This could be why. This could be an old fart, a woman, a kid, who knows? You can be whoever you want on the internet, after all.

Since we can pretty much discount #1, as explained above, I would say this walking turkey baster doesn't deserve another chance with TA, or even his friendship--but of course that is for her to decide.

All I want is help phrasing a " off" letter.

How about keeping it short and simple.

"FUCK OFF!"

Pretty much covers it, don't you think?

Too vague?

How about this:

"Asshole: I am sick of being blown off by you for our dates. And frankly, a guy who is quaking in his boots over a simple date is just not for me. Don't call, don't write, and don't even think about me. Lose my information, and don't bother me again. In essence, fuck off and die in a car fire.

Have a good day!

TA"

And it's not like I have a bevy of guys knocking down my door...

And that is a reason for putting up with this bullshit? Answer: NO. It is NOT.

ummm...maybe some editing required before sending?? FANTASTIC start to the letter, but this guy may, in fact, have feelings.....maybe???

And your point being....what, exactly?

I am sure he has feelings. But if he is going to treat TA's head like a Duncan fucking yo-yo, he doesn't deserve to have his feelings taken into account. Especially not in a fuck off letter.

And yet, guys like him catch the eyes of the ladies, while a guy like me sits at home alone.

Guys who sit home, by definition, cannot catch the ladies' eyes, as they are not out where the ladies might see them.

And that is not what happened in this situation anyway. From what I've read, they met online. So if anything, she caught his...URL. Or profile. Whatever.

Rectums can walk? Oh dear lord....and next thing you know, testicles will be flying....that's just dandy.

Remind me to keep my mouth closed at all times when I'm walking.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

His motivation is that he is a walking rectum.

[strawbabies]

What the hell is his problem? It's a date, not an arranged marriage.

[SorryIsGoodEnough]

Chickenshit is right.

I really wish people would just come out and be honest about their motivations for pulling stunts like what this guy did to TA.

I'm all riled up now.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, for.....

I need a sick bag after reading that bit from his email. Trust me, you do not need this whiney, baggage-loaded, wishywashy, chickenshit little boy.

I wouldn't spare the piss to put his ilk out if he were on fire.

[The Gatekeeper]

O.k., back from camping and getting up to date. I got the text on my way up, but apparently the reply didn't come through.

Raps, I laughed at your original post, you and I have a really inappropriate sense of humour so I'm not flying anywhere.

Just called TA and spoke to her in person. Echoed many of the same sentiments as I've seen here. As opposed to looking at it as a reflection on yourself I'd see it as more a matter of you just dodged a bullet.

Now I need to go tend to my sunburn.

[protege]

3 strikes, and I'm out???

Of course if you ever come to PA...we'll get out the hammers, and go "Office Space" on some computer equipment

[Geek King]

I've got an advantage over the rest of the commentators in this thread in that I've met you. You're attractive, intelligent, and fun to be around. You don't need to put up with idiots like this.

Rapscallion

Ditto what Raps said. I've met you in person, if only briefly, and picked up a lot of your personality through your posts. I'd consider myself damn lucky to have the chance to date someone like you. That guy doesn't know what he missed out on.
