I will email but only to let her know what time I will call her later. This is something I don't want to discuss over email.

I'm not sure what she's trying to say, but the fact that she emailed you at all is a pretty good sign she's still interested in you.

So, assuming you are still interested in her, I think you should write back & tell her that. And also, why not just come right out & ask her why she told you that? Maybe ask her something like "Are you trying to make me jealous, or just letting me know that you don't want to be exclusive, or what?"

Also, as others have said, you could apologize for being out of touch and not rescheduling your last date while you're at it. And maybe suggest something you'd like to do together for your next date, and perhaps say you need to keep it inexpensive, for now. Luckily it's summer so there should be plenty of free or cheap things you could do together outdoors.

Then, leave the ball in her court.

As an example of an inexpensive but fun and possibly romantic date, try the free outdoor movies they're showing at Schuylkill Banks park. You missed Office Space just last week and next is Annie Hall, but not until July 17th though:

Since the shows start at around 8:30 pm, and you don't want it to be expensive, you don't have to meet for dinner; you could just meet at a Capogiro for a small dessert then stroll over to the park.

Good luck!

I guess you could say I'm not as jaded about "stuff" such as enduring love yet...

Did you actually tell her that your date was off bc of layoff talks???
Send her this message, "Move on honey, no need to stick around Run!!"

You'd probably want to include, an "I'll give you a call later, I'd rather talk about it on the phone or inperson instead of email"


also.. i wouldn't over think it as much just say what you want/think.

LOL!!
True, we don't know details of what he said to her when he was cancelling the date. He may have said, "Sorry, something's come up. I need to cancel" with no further explanation. If that's the case, the woman may have thought he had another date lined up..or something of that nature.

If he was naive enough to say something about possible layoffs at work as the reason for cancelling...well........ that alludes to the possible fact that this guy is a broke ass. Not good.

Sounds like she likes you and may want you to "step it up." Who knows. But if you like her, and there is another guy, just remember that he is half the man that you are. You are THE MAN! Your hapless rival can't hold a candle to you in the classroom or any room, for that matter. Hell, he only speaks one language. Time to sweep her off her feet. Give 'em hell, boy! "Strike while the iron is hot." "He who hesitates is lost."

Also, tell her you're more of a "face-to-face" person more than an e-mail person. Bring plenty of money on the date, and whatever else you think you might need. Shave. Good Luck.

Well that's why I wanted to pull out because I was thinking a layoff was coming and I wasn't going to pursue any girl and didn't have a job.

Again, it depends on the woman. If he is upfront about the possibility of an impending layoff, a good woman could see that as full disclosure. I think it actually shows a decent level of maturity to make that a consideration. He might not have had to cancel the date, but it does show that his priorities aren't completely out of whack.

that's fine and all but did you think about going out on a "recession" date. If you really like someone $ shouldn't matter.
Be a bit creative

PS what did you do with your stimulus chec$?
