For everyone. How do you prefer to be let down? Face to face, and online.

This is two different questions.
How do you prefer to be let down online?
AND
How do you prefer to be let down face to face?

If I've never met you except online the Ghost. In per son I expect a 14 page prospectus as to why you are choosing to let me down. Craphs and PowerPoint appreciated

Straight up, full steam ahead and if it's online a simple block is fine too. I can't take it personal if I don't know you. I feel you don't really know someone without spending time together. Friends are for embracing acquaintances no big deal.
I digress.

Which ever is quicker, ie ASAP.

Oh face to face definitely. Then I can put on my hurt look and establish some guilt. Probably NOT.

does it really matter? people let me down all the time which makes them fucking assholes anyway. remember I didn't say turned down.

In person

I felt hurt, used and disillusioned when a man I was dating disappeared without saying anything. We had fun snowshoeing, playing jazz duets, laughing and talking. As soon as we had sex...POOF! Off he went to the next unsuspecting woman. This is cowardly and hurtful.

A year later, he apologized. "I hurt a lot of women," he said. He asked for another chance. "No," I replied. "I cannot trust you again."

Way to go!

I don't care, just get it over with.

I've been turned down more times than a loud radio. Sometimes they call and just say "NO" and hang up. Don't even leave a name. Usually I get the message after the restraining order is delivered (thanks a lot, Sofia Vergara).

Bahahaaaaaaa

You too man?

My last and worst let down was via SMS. It crushed me. I'm not sure if it would have been any better face to face. At least I didn't have to register a response. You know, that "I hope you are going to be happy" thing.

Just go away do not say anything do not give an explanation, oh wait that is how it is usually done.

If that happened to you, that is called ghosting and uncalled for. At the very least, you deserve a "We're done. I'm gonna go."

@vmfreesoul Happened long before it had terminology to describe it. Have not even been on a date since September 2013

@vmfreesoul please just ghost. That way I can imagine you got hit by a bus

@Xavier There are days I soooo agree with you.

Face to face. Eyes don't lie.

In either case, I prefer honesty and directness. I have been known not to take "fuck off and die" for an answer, though.

The fuck off I can except. The and die is a bit of the old ultra violence

2

new territory for me so no idea. I have a rule though, if you can't/won't do what's necessary to keep me around it's like being asked to "fire you".

1

I think the wires got crossed. Two different scenarios.

Because this is a dating site, how do you prefer to be let down online?

How do you preferred to be let down face-to-face?

From you I would like an explanation. Most other nbd. That's online. Should we meet and you find me repulsive just be kind and keep the freak show comments to a minimum

2

Depends. If its a long time personal relationship then in person. If it's anything else online.

Online. I would probably get punchy face to face, or something.

I’m not even sure what this means, but it made me laugh. ?

Really?...
That's a nookie no-no, for sure.
I'll pass on the abuse as well the weenus, in that case.??

@Emme Let me clarify. I wouldn't punch someone who shows a romantic interest. I am against domestic violence. I just don't like being let down. As for passing on my weenus? I'm gay, so I'll pass on the vagina.

@ArthurPhillips
A punch in the face from a gay man,
That's an interesting visual.
It brings to mind, In Living Colors "Wanda"?

@ArthurPhillips the weenus is the folds of skin at your elbow. Look it up lol

@Xavier
I know exactly what a weenus is.
My degree field was english, prior to switching to medical. In this case it was used as a rude SMACK to his penis & and he threw a left jab at my VAGINA❣?
All in good fun, of course.

@Emme Let's not go there! Not the typical stereotype of gay man over here.

@ArthurPhillips
There are all types of US, and I wasn't going there. I was self deprecating in that "i" would be the wanda. Thus making the visual funny.

I prefer in person-if I know someone online if I don't progress to phone I end it.

Online is a let down in itself.
