So, a little backstory: Messing around on Tinder for a bit of distraction during a crazy stretch at work. Match with this woman. Texted a little bit. Probably should've seen a few red flags (e.g., sending a 7:00 a.m. chasing text the next day because hers was the last message in the text chain from the night before, and I hadn't yet responded), but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt--particularly over text, as things can come across in ways other than as intended.
Anyway, we make plans to meet up for an afternoon drink over the weekend. Had a little walk through the local park, a couple of pints at a nearby pub, nice conversation, etc. (Again, probably should've picked up on a few signs, but she was clearly a bit nervous and--again--benefit of the doubt. And we had a nice talk and a nice time.) A quick goodbye kiss on the sidewalk at the end, but nothing more.
She started texting afterwards, and--apparently--wasn't pleased with the speed of some of my responses. (Was a busy weekend.) After a couple of further chasing texts--the last one of which was pretty snarky--it was clear to me that this wasn't going to work. (Insecurity, for me, is THE deal-breaker.) But we'd had a nice time, and she seemed like a nice woman, so I decided to send her a message explaining that I didn't think it was going to work and wishing her the best.
The next morning, I woke up to this absolutely epic text rant. I'm not a big online sharer, but this was enough to jolt me out of my years of lurkerhood. I knew you guys would appreciate the legendary craziness. Enjoy...
