I've been doing this ginger dating thing for a while now. And I've never been one to buy into the whole "gingers don't have souls" thing. Until now.
I dated a ginger that I met on Tinder last summer for almost 5 months. Until he told me he no longer wanted to be in a relationship with me, in the parking lot of a Korean BBQ, after I had just paid for the meal. And then I found out he had cheated on me and is now "in a relationship" with THAT girl on Facebook. Grrrrr.
So after a month-long man cleanse, I ventured back onto Tinder/OkCupid and got asked out on a date by another lovely ginger. We had a wonderful time, did some fun stuff (wink, wink), and then agreed that we would "totally" meet up again. So we texted back and forth for a few days, talked about "goals" for future hang outs, and then......nothing. Just nothing. Like BANG, out of nowhere, he just stopped responding. Now, I'm no stranger to guys who go ghost. I am a single female Millennial after all. But I have NEVER been ghosted by a ginger before. His loss, right? Little did I know...it was the start of a trend in my life.
Just last week, I met up with a ginger for trivia night with his coworkers. It was fairly awkward, seeing as how I didn't know any of them, or him for that matter, and the event didn't leave a whole lot of time for conversation. And then of course afterward we all got stuck waiting for the same metro for 10 minutes until the train came. Anyway, we were supposed to go on a second-chance first date tonight. We just talked about it on Monday. Today is Wednesday. Typically, every morning, I get a "Good morning, gorgeous!" text from him on my way to work. Tuesday morning rolls around...no text. So around 11 am I sent him a "Good morning" text.....no response. This morning, I tried again with a little humor. "Two days in a row and no good morning text? Hmmm".....nothing. A little bit later, I tried again, "Sooo...I'm going to assume that your failure to respond indicates that we are no longer bowling tonight...?" Still nothing. Of course, at this point, I'm hoping that he's lost his phone or fallen off a cliff or something because clearly that's the only reason why he wouldn't respond to my texts. Literally the last texts we exchanged were confirming that we would be bowling on Wednesday. WTF?! This guy seemed to be really into me. I don't know what happened. Regardless, it did.
At this point, I'm starting to think that maybe the critics are right. Maybe gingers do NOT in fact have souls...or maybe they DO in fact steal souls. Because, even though I have always been a ginger ally and advocate, I am seriously reconsidering my stance. Gingers, beware! YOU WILL NOT GHOST ME AGAIN!
Thank you.
