So...who is the Amanda who won me in auction...

And what exactly does it mean that she won me in auction?

I mean, I appreciate it and all...and I wanted to do good for charity...but I'm not exactly sure what I've gotten myself into here...

	I say what I mean. I do refuse to take no for an answer. Because I'm not going to leave you thinking I'm some sort of horrible jerk. Fine, I'll help you in the pub kitchen. Then I'm taking you somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So now it's a matter of pride that you make sure I have a good opinion of you, is that it? You're taking me out simply because you don't want me to feel bad? Do you have any idea how that sounds? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	..Wow, passive aggressive much? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't realize this was any of your concern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe not, but I'm nosy and this is on a public forum, sweetheart. Yeah. Men can be jerks. But it looks like he's trying to apologize, which is more than you'll get from most men, and you're throwing a pity party for one! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Call it whatever you like. This was supposed to be FOR charity, not an act OF charity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All I hear are tiny violins. Look. I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't do so far as the date goes. But there's no need to get so passive aggressive about things. It makes you look foolish and immature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:30 am UTC (link)
	I was simply trying to turn him down in a polite manner. Perhaps it would have been better if I'd simply come out and said "No, you're an arse and I don't want to."? Because that wouldn't have been immature at all, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onmyway 2013-01-02 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Oh yes, because passive aggressiveness screams polite. It would have been honest, at the very least. Give him a break. He didn't understand what he'd signed up for, and he was asking for clarification on what was expected of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:38 am UTC (link)
	And I explained that I expected nothing from him. In the very beginning. I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable with the situation. But suddenly I'm the bad guy and I'm throwing a pity party all because I tried to politely decline. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	savedthechrldr 2013-01-02 05:11 am UTC (link)
	That I'm a decent guy? That I don't want someone feeling bad because of something I did? Because I happened to misspeak, and she got totally the wrong idea about me? It has nothing to do with pride. Why won't you go somewhere with me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:14 am UTC (link)
	You would obviously much rather spend time with your girlfriend than some random woman who happened to bid on you in a charity auction. So please, do that. ~~I am worth far more than a stupid pity date~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	savedthechrldr 2013-01-02 05:16 am UTC (link)
	You know, it's possible to be friends with women, even if you do have a girlfriend. Shock, I know. I was hoping we could be friends, you know? It's a small place. But you don't seem to want that. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:21 am UTC (link)
	I honestly don't know what I want right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	savedthechrldr 2013-01-02 05:28 am UTC (link)
	I don't know what else I can do. I'm sorry. If you want to leave, make this a big deal, and punish me for making a simple mistake, feel free. I'll work off the charity money. You don't have to, since I was such a disappointment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm out. I'll be back later. I'm sorry. I just need some time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:31 am UTC (link)
	I signed up to do the work and I will do the work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	savedthechrldr 2013-01-02 05:34 am UTC (link)
	No. I'm serious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:39 am UTC (link)
	As am I. I'll do the work. I meant it when I said this doesn't have to mean anything. I'll do the work I promised to do. If you feel the need to do the work as well, then twice as much gets done and all the better for the community. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have things that need doing.

	It didn't have to end this way, you know. But whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-02 05:42 am UTC (link)
	You're right, it didn't. If you had just accepted that I wanted nothing from you and left it at that. But you insisted that you had to prove to me that you're not a bad person. And now everyone is upset and apparently it's all my fault. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You misinterpreted me from the beginning.

I was looking forward to meeting new people. And apparently you thought that because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing, I hated you or something.

And yes, I wanted to prove to you that I wasn't a bad person. But more than that? I wanted you to end this evening happy. But apparently you're determined to feel sorry for yourself.

You're acting as if I can't read the comments you made up there. Like I can't see that you would have preferred to look a little closer at what you were agreeing to before getting involved. If you go back and read what you put up there, you might understand how I could misinterpret it. I wanted to see what the answer was before replying to this.

You made me feel like a horrible person for even bidding on you. Like I shouldn't have bothered. And I apologize if my misinterpretation has made you feel bad. I'm sure you're a very nice person under different circumstances.

And if we're being completely honest, I bid on you because I went through the list and saw that you were the only one that didn't have any bids yet.

I deserved that. And I guessed it, too.

The comments I made up there? I didn't know what I got myself into. That's what I said. I didn't know you. And I didn't want to upset my girlfriend. But if you look, I said I'd be happy to go out with someone, as long as they didn't expect it to get romantic.

The rest is all in your head.

You're projecting your low self-esteem on me, and I don't appreciate it.

And if you think you can make me feel bad about myself, think again. You've never met my mother. Or my brother.
