Michal Maciejasz reviewed on April 25, Interesting, entertaining, easy to read, the story sounds true, did not regret buying it reviewed 4 months after purchase. SpeakTruth reviewed on May 12, I saw her as a fellow intellectual who was passionate, driven and who loves science. It would be a massive understatement to say that I was smitten- I was determined to date Anna. We quickly exchanged numbers and were soon texting and talking every day. There were so many things we had in common.
Interests like anime, movies, board games- the list went on. Anna liked practically every hobby that nerds would like and even more. I'd struck a gold mine- I needed to make my move! How about we talk about Stranger Things or Star Wars while getting coffee? I know a good place just downtown. Then again, maybe she really is that busy. Maybe I need to cut her some slack and be patient with her. I texted back:.
Fast forward to Christmas and the next quarter had already started. I wanted to make a year of terrific memories. I was still sweet on Anna, so the first order of business after returning to my campus was texting her to see how she was doing.
On the day we were supposed to meet, I had just finished attending my last classes and I was waiting in the coffee shop for her to arrive. Literally five minutes before our appointed time, I got a text from her:. Something really urgent came up and I need to cancel our coffee date. Can we reschedule? What the?! She had "something urgent" that came up just a few minutes before we were supposed to meet?
Give me a break. But I needed to act chill in the text messages. I shot her a quick text:. We ended up rescheduling for February 13th. Can we reschedule to next week?
What the hell? Around this point, I began to wonder whether or not Anna was just toying with me with all these excuses, but my rose-tinted glasses still warped my decision-making. I sincerely believed, at the time, that she was interested in seeing me but had some sort of anxiety issue when the time actually came.
Around that time, I talked to Jacob and brought up the topic of how Anna was flaking on me all the time but still seemed interested in me. Then he suggested that maybe we all hang out, as a group gathering, rather than invite her on a one on one coffee date.
So I texted Anna:. The next day, I gave Anna another text:. I love Pizza My Heart and I really want to have fun with you tonight! By PM, Jacob and I headed down to the restaurant, got a nice booth and ordered some pizza. I sent her another text:. Totally reasonable. Jacob and I sat back, relaxed, made random banter and waited. Before I knew it, an hour already flew by and Anna was nowhere to be seen. My project is blowing up! I need to cancel our get-together and hang out with you another time.
Whaddaya know? What can you really expect from a flaker, anyway? Although Jacob shrugged-off the whole affair, I was irate that Anna had wasted our time that evening. A week later, I got a text from Anna saying:. The minute I read what she had sent, I burst-out in laughter. Angrily, I sent something along the lines of:. How could you be so dishonest with me the whole time? When I told Jacob about what happened a day later, he told me that he had texted Anna to ask her how she really felt about me.
She replied with:. He can attract a sea of women out there in the world. Thanks for being such a bro, Jacob… wait, what? Are you serious? She never led me on? What the hell is she talking about?
