This is something I just don't understand. I just assume that if someone I've contacted doesn't respond back, they don't want to hang, and that's fine. I'll sometimes give them a couple of chances but anything beyond that gets weird. One girl I texted twice, she didn't respond. I saw her again at the same bar where I first met her and she was acting weird, but I was nice to her, no problems. I didn't resent her at all.
On the flip side, if I don't respond to someone's text or phone call or DM, they hate me forever. It gets super weird. This happens at meetups, at professional or social mixers or whatever. I exchange contact info a lot like most people and not really inclined to follow up with everyone.
But if I don't respond and see these people again, they are enraged or look like they're going to cry. One guy invited me to a dance thing. It sounded ok but I didn't feel like driving out. I never got back to him. I see him again at another mixer. I didn't even recognize him actually. He started to b1tch me out saying I "promised" I would hang out with him or something ridiculous, making a big scene. I was just trying to figure out who he was. It turns out he sent me a text which I just barely glanced at and ignored.
At meetups it gets especially weird because once a woman sends you a message, she definitely wants to date and some of these women aren't that attractive so I don't follow up. Also, I get guys texting me wanting to hang out but they're so weird it's not really worthwhile. Some of them text over and over and again, and get mad if I don't reply.
Why don't people just get the hint that I'm not interested if I don't reply? I just assume that if someone I msg doesn't get back to me in a couple of days they don't want to hang out and I just let it go and move on.
And yes, I've tried it the other way, letting a girl know I'm not interested and it's just devastating to them so I don't feel like going down that route again. Some guys will just hound you to hang out no matter what.
