    A: grey is a golddigger, green dodged a bullet

    B: grey thinks green is a lesser choice, green dodged a bullet

    And then grey feels humiliated by grey noticing this.

    I don’t get why people are confused about this.

    Grey was horrible human being first. Green’s reply was a response that horribleness. It’s not like green was genuinely waiting to spring that.

    …probably.

    We can’t know for certain based on one single conversation. We don’t know the dynamic between these two. We don’t know the intent behind the “thank god” comment. We don’t know if the response was an overreaction, something that’s been building between these two, or what.

    It wouldn’t be smart to make a judgement in this case because we lack full context.

      The Lmao negates this. This is definitely a thank god I don’t have to go on a date with you.

    I hate people now. Nobody wants to keep their commitments. You can invite people to an event and they will all say yes, until a more enticing thing comes along and the flake on you last minute. If you say yes, be there, tell the other person “sorry I already made plans that day” like an adult

      For me the issue is that everyone is always busy.

      Me: hey, how about we meet next Friday

      Person1: I can only do Sunday from 17 to 19

      Person2: I can only do Saturday

      Person3: I can do Sunday but from 19 to 21

      Person4: I can only do the Friday after that

      Or even better, they take 5 days to reply and in the end say something came up.

      But once I manage to find the one date that fits most people and plan something people do show up.

        There was this service 10 - 15 years ago: you created a few possibilities, shared it and the shared-to could add where it fits. What was it’s name? And wouldn’t this also work as a local-wifi-only mobile app?

          You mean doodle? It still exists but since polls are literally built into every messaging app now, its obsolete. It could be relevant if you have a one-time meeting with people who dont know each other and dont have a common messaging app.

          Don’t remember the name but I used it couple of times in corpo settings. I think it weird that we have to organize meetings with couple of friends the same way we organized team buildings. I mean, weekends are for resting. Why everyone has everything booked months in advance? I spend every weekend actively but I don’t have a lot of plans that I can’t drop to meet someone.

    Greens response could’ve meant (s)he had a busy day at work and was glad to put their feet up. The bluntness met have been unintended.

    Grey then exploded and made it a problem, showing that green actually dodged a bullet.

    The one who flaked, and then said that there were better options. I’d respond just like the one who luckily got away.

    “Hey, I’m so sorry to do this, but, something came up”.

      “Excuse me?!? You’re supposed to be absolutely crushed by me blowing you off! I’m clearly in the right and you should be upset about it.”

      Green dodged a bullet.

    That’s the best answer he gave. Based on the limited, implication based knowledge we have of this conversation we don’t even know is real or staged.
