This is the foreign girl who met me at an Irish pub last Friday after like 30 texts back and forth, kept trying to push 8:30 to 7 pm, I finally agreed to 7:30 and was on time, she shows up 15 minutes late(!) And "not her fault", of course...but then we had a great time even tho she only drank free water for 3:hours occupying a seat at the bar. Great parking lot make out. she was hot, one of my acquaintances who was there keeps gushing about her.

She works 7 days a week and, very annoyingly, is trying to establish that she just might flake (cancel) at any time if she's too tired. like a guy should just accept that is her frame. With her foreign background, that may be semi legit (she thinks men should pay for women, buy them food on 1st dates, but again foreign so it doesn't seem like a parasite mindset, just traditional)...but also seems super narcissistic and inconsiderate of my time, like I'll be standing by not making other plans while she reserves the right to cancel.

At least she's being up front about it days in advance, she's not a horrible chick, just very high maintenance and needs a lot of hand holding to meet up. but the lack of respect or even basic consideration for my time is not ok with me. Advice would be great

@Chris Wilson

Hey Chris if you're willing, as someone a bit older with childcare commitments, would value your input

It sounds like you don’t actually like her. Or simply incompatible. The flaw with online dating is you don’t really know much about a woman before your date. That’s one reason not to spend much money on the date because you’ll likely need dozens before you find the right girl. If you’re just looking for fun, then stand your ground and don’t be so accommodating to her. Controlling the frame is basically just living your values and not compromising for a woman.

Thank you Chris appreciate your response. Yeah she does keep investing even tho it's a bit contentious at this point. I def have no intention of settling down, I mostly occupy the paradigm of the last paragraphs if Rollo Tomassis "as good as it gets" blog post. I'll lay off and see if she replies Sunday or before. You're right, I don't actually like her too much. To be that steeped in me me me thinking without even a thought of the other person, just don't care for it.
