When Rules Collide

[bigneil]

Normally, I always text a girl on her birthday.

However, another rule of mine you may have heard me say before is, after a date, if they don't text a thank-you, I walk.

Well, after what seemed like the ideal date last week, featuring unlimited sex, I never got a thank-you, and today is her birthday.

What would you do?

meh... who cares... I think all rules are open to interpretation, and you need to be able to walk the line to determine when it's valid to step either way

 

[Roober]

Gotcha! In that case...

Was the sex good?
Is the sex cheap? (i.e. does she need to be wined and dined?)
Did you enjoy the date?
Are you at your max capacity of plates?
Is she worth a plate?

More yes or more no?

Why would you care if a girl that is not into you has a happy birthday?

This is a person that has literally chosen anyone else over you.

More often than not, Its better to be fluid and adjust as needed than have some one size fits all rule. That kind of thinking leads to missed opportunities.

You haven't shared enough details for me to form an opinion in regards to the situation.

Was this a first date? What are you looking for? What is she looking for? Do you really need a "thank you" text to validate yourself? Is this girl a stripper?

I don't get why birthdays are such a big deal. You juet got one year closer to dying lol. I don't even care about my own too much really. Shoot, my dad doesn't even know his birthday (but he is a third-worlder though so maybe that's why).

Man...are you familiar with the scholastic term casuistic? (Maybe not that exact word in English, but I will explain it in a moment).
Scholasticism is a wide term under wich we put almost all of the philosophical thought of the European medieval ages. Most of it was religious and moralistic. Anyhow, there started to appear some LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG treaties (and I mean long, like, so long it is fvcking ridiculous) known as "casuistica". In them you would find the consequences of specific sins. For every possible imaginable sin, there was a consequence that was listed in these treaties. It is fvcking ridiculous, and a lot of people mocked these books.
They said "instead of having a set of universal moral rules to which we adhere, and then applying them in the specific situations, which is the most reasonable thing to do, you are wasting ink, paper, and time, in making all these infinite rules!". Do you see where I'm going?

RedPill rules are fine, I would even say necessary, but not this.

I wouldn't necessarily say that a girl who I saw 9 times and who I had sex with 6 times is not that into me or that she has chosen "anyone else" but thanks.

The sex was great and she claimed to have her first orgasm. Meanwhile I didn't reach orgasm.
The sex with her is not cheap. She was wined and dined on all three dates. That's why I expected a thank-you.
I'm close to max plate capacity (the girl I originally left her for confessed her love today of all days) and birthday girl is 4 girls back in the text queue.
She is worth a plate. I've always loved her more any of the others. I'm perplexed actually.

I elected not to contact her, and by chance, scored with a girl 2 years younger. Thanks guys.
