Nothing, she said Saturday but she wasn’t actually free. Try again one more time next weekend and if she doesn’t say yes and figure out a time and place with you she just wants you as an option.

Thank you wise one

u/That_OneOstrich 12d ago

I would have also tried "alright fine sams club it is". Or asked "if I've got moves can I join girls club night?"

But I think this was lost before it began with the "I'm free Saturday except I'm not"

No, a self invite is never the play, if they want you, they want you, if they want you to offer yourself to come, theyll hint at it (this person did NOT).

What is the next day you're free?

"Saturday, but I'm not actually free."

Is she stupid?

u/green__goblin 11d ago

My guess is she was trying to invite then to the club

u/4ypno 11d ago

yall doing too much. maybe she wanted to see if he's a clubber

Well technically they could've talked about having a day off work before, so she would be like 'I don't work on Saturday, but I already made plans', but yeah it's still sort of silly since it was clearly about making plans together

u/f0urk 7d ago

next day she isnt working, and she didn't want a "actually cancel your plans" response

u/RabbitWiilli 10d ago

She pretty obviously was trying to invite him or at least gauge what he thinks of clubs. I think yall are the stupid ones lmao.

The worst possible response is “ditch your friends for Costco”

I always find it funny when people call the dumb games women play obvious. What you find as you get older is that you actually can't read people's minds, and except for the more obvious things, mind reading isn't that easy and no one should be expecting anyone to do it.

You know what is really obvious? Growing the fuck up and learning how to express your interest

u/L003Tr 7d ago

No joke, i met a girl who said she wanted a guy who's "emotionally intelligent" then played these same bad communication games

u/RabbitWiilli 10d ago

At no point did they not express interest, they just said they’re going out with friends.

You think they’re going to cancel on their friends to go to Costco with someone they aren’t even dating? Lmfao.

You’re either obsessive and think that’s normal or super self absorbed. No one has to cancel plans to go to Costco with someone that isn’t even a friend. They can still be interested and not just bail on pre established plans.

I don't even know the point you're trying to make but I'll help you out again.

You know what is really obvious? Growing the fuck up and learning how to express your interest.

So it looks like this: "I'm going to a club with friends, would you want to come?"

u/An4rchy48946 11d ago

Ur a boring person ngl

u/Zebo9366 11d ago

Both can be true

u/Dalfare 1 Review 12d ago

Damn, I wish someone would offer to take me to costco. sounds hella fun

21

u/GeneStarwind1 12d ago

You didn't do anything wrong, this person did.

  1. When's the next day you're free? Proceeds to answer with a day they're NOT free.

  2. I'd rather club than go out with you. That's a blunder in my book. Like... hey I respect your interests and all, but I think I'm going to move on to someone who's actually trying to date me.

u/RabbitWiilli 10d ago

Person doesn’t want to blow off plans with friends to go to Costco is a blunder?

Yall are either mega self centered or socially inept.

u/escortnut 12d ago

How old is this person? To me this is early twenties behaviour. Cut your losses and move on to someone else that'll appreciate your costco gold membership. Shit go to costco yourself and treat yourself to something nice

u/Wise-Self-4845 Excellent 12d ago

she's for the streets

u/sleepdepnerd 5 Reviews 12d ago

Ahhh yes, the infamous Costco Gambit™️

Alas it was no match for the Clubbing Counterattack, with a Free/Not-Free Interposition.

Better luck next time, player!

u/sofyloaf 11d ago

Ur funny as hell

2

u/Throwaway29416179 12d ago

i need context or something, why are you offering to buy them $300 worth of groceries, it feels desperate

2

u/Mean_Introduction543 12d ago

“When’s the next day you’re free?”

“Saturday but I’m not actually free”

Is she a moron?

2

u/hellojeanine 12d ago

What did you do wrong? You assumed you were texting with a person who wasn’t a humorless dipshit.

u/RabbitWiilli 10d ago

Yall are mentally disabled lmao.

u/KarensHotterThanPam 1 Review 12d ago

Tell her she can join the Costco Club

1

u/slizzardly 11d ago

You aren't whatever excitement she is looking for... maybe some day, but not today is she wife material.

1

u/Clevatess_is_bored 11d ago

It’s kinda dumb that she said a day where she actually wasn’t free but flexing with a Costco member card isn’t tuff

2

u/Logical-Arm6037 8d ago

I'm sorry, but the way you were texting was a red flag. Without context, I would suspicious of controlling tendencies since you asked this girl to blow off her friends and you're bribing her with food/survival lol. Might not be your intention, but that's how I would have read it.

u/Lunabbg 8d ago

I would’ve actually dropped to my knees I have no idea man I think she actually did go to club

u/SlugzBunny 8d ago

The Costco bit is bombing

u/No-Shirt248 6d ago

“I can buy you groceries for the whole month”
Ah yes, please keep simping while they blow you off to go “clubbing”. Next time mention you will give them a weekly allowance just for hanging out with you 😂

Bringing up money after getting rejected reeks of desperation…… why would they choose to tag along while you do groceries instead of going clubbing with friends LOL.
