So, cops leave cars with keys in them to tempt thieves, and thieves are dumb enough to steal them.
Say I am getting into a new relationship … a month or two. Gal plans to meet me for dinner Friday evening. Doesn’t show on time; then, 15 minutes after we’re due to meet, she calls: “I can’t make it tonight, or at all this weekend – my family member is ill.”
I figure I’ll stay at the bar and have a drink; the game is on anyway. Soon enough a smoking-hot hottea comes over and tries to seduce me (hey, it’s my story, so it can happen.)
Yes, I have my emerging relationship to think of (no promise made of commitment, in my case, but there’s a real story out there and therein I guess it was.) So, I could defend on a technicality, if I went for it. Or, I could be faithful in fact and spirit.
Or, I could assume that anything too good to be true is too good to be true[/i].
The tragedy that wasn’t, is, that had I assumed this was a trap, I’d dump the real gal, when the real gal didn’t even know. And that’s the debate the guys should have come with.
Best wishes.

If your scenario were to more mimic the one to which you refer, your smokin hot hot-tea would have simply been in the same establishment, chatting with you as well as others. You then proceeded to approach her and request a hook up. There was no trap. And if you would dump someone over an assumption, then it wasn't meant to be.

You should go and rearrange the books on the shelves in your library.

This was your first sentence... they are already thieves, nobody made them thieves, they were thieves before this particular instance began. If you tempt a thief with somethingin order to prod him into stealing /again/ ... then you've just reproven they were thieves to begin with.
But as Peg said, the correlation doesn't fit so it's kind of hard to go forward.

This all hinges on whether you have both agreed that the relationship is exclusive or not. If not, then picking up another woman at the bar is fine. If so, then picking her up is plain cheating.


But let's face it, if a woman you're seeing stands you up like this, being late even, I'd wouldn't buy it. If her family member was sick and it wasn't that serious, most likely she would have known ahead of time and would have let you know. And if it's serious and sudden enough where she had to cancel like this, wouldn't she tell you what hospital she's going to...so you could meet her and comfort her?


More likely, when a woman you're dating pulls this at the last minute, it's because she'got a better offer' but doesn't want to tell you.

Any woman who would set you up like that, just to test you, isn't worth your time. At some point, you have to trust the one you love. If you don't, you shouldn't be involved with them.

You got a "setup" out of that? Wow. I got "I don't know what the h*ll he is talking about".


Well, I go that Girl A cancelled,Girl B came on to him and he was deciding which way to go, but I have no idea which way he went.


I kinda figured he came home and had another scotch.


I was confused.

Aussie, this is a continuation of the ongoing drama happening elsewhere on these forums right now.
