Hey guys,
Now I've got a story for you that really fits with the "You can't make this shit up" saying.
I went to a Meetup event about two weeks ago. Had a great time. Cool people all around.
The next morning I get an unusual email from a girl on the meetup site, who I don't know. She said "Hey, did you go to the Friday event? I couldn't make it

Would you like to get to know each other?
I reviewed her pictures and thought "Sure".
We texted some, she said I sound really sweet.
We met up, had a great time, she was throwing stuff out there like "let's go to Ocean City in your car one day soon. Deal?" (I had mentioned that I drove a Beamer z4, which I also used to drive her to her car that night.)
She said, as I dropped her off "Thanks so much for everything! We're definitely gonna do this again.!"
She texted me intermitently over the next few days, asking me stuff like how I did on a test which was part of a big deal- high-profile job interview.
A couple days later, understanding the whole principle that you only use romantic/pedestal-placing gestures with a girl once she feels like she's earned it (I certainly felt she had; she was going way out of her way), I texted her "So do I get to take you out this weekend?"
She said "Sure, how about Friday?"
I said Friday was great and invited her to my part of town, telling it was only like two exits up the highway from her.
She said no problem, and "Ahhh, so you mean your place?"
I told her sure, she should see my place at some point, but there're a lot of cool bars/restaurants right around where I live.
I assumed the conversation was done, and that we were on for Friday.
I texted her two days ago, afternoon-ish: Hey, can you be at my place around 7 Friday?
She wrote back: Not interested, don't ever text me again.
So I sent the one-time, permitted text a guy is allowed to send a girl who sends a 180, "don't ever contact me again" message: "I don't understand. What happened?"
No response.
Thoughts?
Because you fuckin got me if you want an explanation. I've laid out everything that happened.
Seriously, this is the kind of shit that will make guys stay home.
They'll sit in the house all weekend, taking shots, ordering pizza, and watching blue-rays by themselves.
We've put in the effort. We've seen what that effort gets us. So for fucks sake, does throwing in the towel sound crazy?
