Here's my explanation
. DL has made every attempt to conduct himself in an honest and straight forward manner.
Why should DL have had to ditch his friend that he was having drinks with just because this chick called him at the last minute? !
Why? Because SHE called him......didn't you know? That because he didn't pass her "test" his name is mud. Just like that old joke about when you're in a relationship and you commit some supposed slight, you are rewarded with 5 days of sighs, moans, and dirty looks? And then to try and guess what it was you did is like that old game show: let's make a deal. You have to guess what's behind door number 1, door number 2 or door number 3. Guess the wrong one and you get the hobo on a donkey (and 5 more days of sighs and or no communication lol).
If genie was referring to me, and my posts, then that's fine but I don't hate women, I just hate the stereotypical bullshit that a guy has to put up with.
I honestly don't know why a woman can't say:
hey I like you, let's go out
Hey I really enjoyed myself tonight, want to do it again?
Sorry, you're not what I'm looking for, thanks for the invite though
Sorry, I don't really like you, I hope you find what you're looking for
I'm not really looking to jump into a relationship right now, but I do like you so let's keep seeing each other. How does once every couple of weeks sound?
I know there are a million other scenarios but the bottom line is: just be fricken honest. If you don't know what you want, say so. If you know what you want, say so.

I admit that I am the last one who should be giving dating advice---lol. With that being said IMHO it is of the utmost importance that DL does not get used by this game playing woman. IMHO DL should get rid of this woman ASAP as she clearly is just stringing him along until someone better comes her way. What guy needs to put up with that stress and abuse no matter how hot the chick is? It's just not worth it!
I admire DL for not letting himself be pushed around by this game player!
Many may not agree, but because DL didn't accept her invite (or pass her test) to stop communicating for 5 days is pure 100% game playing. The first was creating a test for him to pass then the second is punishing him for not passing it.
Now you could argue that the invite wasn't a test, but just another measuring post in which she used to determine whether the good doctor was worthy of her affection. Either way to expect a guy to jump when she said jump is typical of the attitude of many women in TORONTO.
SOrry genie, I've travelled quite a bit and as much as it pains me to say it, Toronto women DO have this sense of entitlement that is only equalled to those in Manhatton. I've approached women in just about every major city in North America and in most, you can strike up a conversation with them. In Toronto? If you don't meet their "idea" of the perfect man, they look at you like you have a 12" penis growing out of your forehead......
