No harm in that. Just keep your feelings in check, man. She's being honest. That's all you can ask for. Let her move the relationship forward. Don't bring that stuff up.
Oh my. Guess the ex just wanted a quick pump and dump. And that printer isn't going to fix itself! LOL.
If it helps just be aware that when online dating you and the girl have virtually nothing invested in one another and it is very, very common for someone you are interested in to just all of a sudden stop responding to your messages and texts. Just move on. I used to take it personally but around the 10th time it happened I just decided to fuck it and never get invested in anyone until maybe 3+ actual real life dates. Even after the first date it would happen that there would be no chemistry. I used to try the "You're a great girl ... buuuuut" line but then I decided it is actually easier on everyone involved to just cut off contact completely and not even respond to her texts. Sometimes I felt like a dick but it is just the nature of the beast of online dating. A few times I felt bad but after they kept texting and going "Why aren't you responding?!" and shit but they'd eventually stop texting after a week or so of being ignored.
Haha, let's not pretend that ignoring someone is "easier on everyone". It's just easier on you because you've created a fantasy wherein this woman you are cutting off will be so heartbroken over how wonderful you are that she's going to cause drama and/or beg, when in reality as long as you aren't a dickhead that almost never happens. It's far more decent to just simply say "It was nice meeting you, I enjoyed our conversation but I don't think we had any romantic chemistry". You might not realize it but the "You're a great girl... buuuuut" line is about as condescending and patronizing as you can get. It's incredibly fake, and people don't like being treated with obvious insincerity.
I have no fantasy about this. You seem to paint me as a completely different person than I actually am for your own fantasy about me (stop fantasizing about me, btw.) Saying things aren't working out leads to them asking why which leads to you having to give specific reasons why you don't like the girl. Which basically means I have to insult and critique this girl I barely even know -- I just know I don't want to pursue a relationship with her. 9/10 it was obvious we didn't have a connection and we'd both just mutually stop communicating to one another. It wasn't the standard for one side to be oblivious.
Nothing wrong with saying exactly this, which you said yourself:
I think its ok to flat out stop responding after saying that you're going to flat out stop responding because you're not interested. Just stopping responding without saying anything is douchey. My $0.02
That line I gave is what I use 100% of the time, verbatim, word for word. I either get no response, or a response that says "I agree, it was nice meeting you, good luck out there". You're talking about much younger women than I am though I think. You were like 24 when you were online dating weren't you?
