Where ANY Man or Woman can just state a 'scenario' which they are in (usually an unresolved situation) AND anyone can just SPELL-out the COLD HARD TRUTH of the matter. No holds barred.

There's this guy whom i know. He is known to be VERY shy even at 40++. We started "chatting" on WhatsApp n it was going pretty well ... Then he asked if he cld call n i panicked n didn't answer. After tht, everything kinda went downhill ... Was what i did so wrong?

Hmmm ... Tq, Wind090. I didn't get the chance to. I did try msging him after to explain but i supposed his ego was hurt so ...
REALLY didn't expect a man to react tht way at THT age, seriously.
Am assumming tht such trait is very rare in a man? Or all men wld react tht way???

CS, true true. Another one of my many regrets. But then again, have U not made any foolish / split-second decisions which you'v wished you can 'undo' CS? Btw, this happened abt 3 or 5 years ago ...

RP, you wrote: "Then he asked if he cld call n i panicked n didn't answer. After tht, everything kinda went downhill ... Was what i did so wrong?"

I have to agree with what Wind and Colorado both say. Your lack of an answer of yes, no, or anything speaks volumes without saying a word. exactly what the other person thought is only known to him. If it was me, I probably would have thought "I don't need to be treated like this", and never spoken to you again. Unless of course you came back later with an excuse of a life or death emergency situation.

I think it is also worth adding that as far as things go, you were the one asking the question. So when Colorado answered it, it is far from polite or even good taste to answer her back with such a statement.

We are all human, we all have either made mistakes and/ or still make them. Trying to deflect what might be a defect in your character (and it might be an asset, depends on your point of view) onto someone else is completely uncalled for, especially when it was you asking the question about yourself. She did exactly what you asked, then it seems like you back handed her because she gave you her honest opinion.

Thank u W & BH, for the "COLD HARD TRUTH". This is exactly why i posted the scenario/question. There are always 2 sides of a coin - seriously didn't 'see' such a repercussion / assumptions tht can be translated by my rash action back then.
siigghh ... They say that women over-analyse things but ...

Considering that RP is also an asian like me, maybe (only MAYBE) she opted to remain silent or avoid the topic so as not to be tactless, but then it was construed as being impolite by the other party. judging from her words, "after that everything went downhill" i presume that the guy still communicated minus the usual interest or maybe out of diplomacy.


It also happened to me 3 yrs ago but in a different situation. I happened to make some remarks that the guy misunderstood as prejudicial on him so he blatantly told me good bye and said I am not the kind of woman he was looking for. I sent him a "sorry" card and remained silent. After a few months he messaged me that he is still interested to know me and hope i do the same. i accepted him again and again apologized and he said there's no need for an apology. Our friendship was rekindled again but I'm more careful with my comments now.

Dear AC, tq for the benefit of the doubt. Am glad things worked out for u. The guy i spoked abt. We were work colleagues, actually. Anyways, i nvr did expect such a negative response to my silly reservation. I don't believe in "playing games" when it comes to matters of the heart. Though ... maybe he had gone through a few such "players" before. Oh well ... Cest la vie.

Don't be too presumptuous and judgmental! What she wrote was very clear, SHE PANICKED AND DIDN'T ANSWER. So that means she kicked the person's ass?

I do understand that this is an international dating site and everybody's welcome from all parts of the globe as long as you follow the rules set by the site administrators. But you have to consider that coming from different countries or regions or whatever, we have also different traditions, culture, values and upbringing. So don't impose your rules since we may be following another rule. As long as we don't offend anybody, extend proper courtesy, no offensive language or porno pics we are within the parameters of the rules and regulations set forth in the site.

I never imagined being silent as rudeness to others. What I know is that if you have nothing good to say then it is better to shut your mouth. Even a fish can get out of trouble if it shut its mouth!

Dear W, are we not all in "the same boat" i.e. have not had such good luck in relationship hence we'r here at DnM?
Are the forums not the place to state individual opinions and such? I concurr tht i did make a mistake in THT relationship so don't get ur "knickers in a knot" with AC for her views, k? Chill, W. :-)

First of all, i didn't ask for your opinion. This is an open forum and as a member I felt I also have the right to express MY OWN VIEWS regardless of the others. And I am not trying to convince you to accept my opinions either. In an open forum, don't expect that everyone will be unanimous in their views, there will always be opposition somewhere, somehow. Just because I am opposed to what you said doesn't mean I am picking on you! My attitude depends on how people deal with me. You don't demand respect, You have to earn it! Thanks

Amelia, I respect your opinion, but to tell somebody to "shut your mouth" is exceptionally rude in ANY culture. So since you keep reminding everybody about forum rules, I have to remind them to YOU. Thanks. 


I am locking this topic as it turned into a fight, it's no longer an opinion exchange. No need to escalate it any further.
