Got Ghosted? Get Even With This Priceless Tactic
How to Make 'Em Beg After They Leave You Hanging
What happens when a date cancels last minute? How do you handle the no-show? What's the snappiest way to put the ball in your court?
When the Love Boat Sinks Before Leaving Port
Meet Tristan Wilde, a 29-year-old social butterfly who's always ready for romance. One night he gets all decked out for a dream date with Chad, a seemingly charming fellow he'd matched with on the latest swipe-happy app. The candles were lit, the suit was pressed, and his reservation at "Le Fancypants Restaurant" was confirmed.
But then, an hour before dinner, he gets the dreaded text from Chad: "OMG, can we reschedule? So sorry!"
Tristan, with a smirk and a flick of his well-manicured wrist, replies, "That's fine. I'll let you know if I have some time." Boom! That's how you do it.
Can't you just picture Chad's reaction? Flabbergasted! "I honestly thought he'd just cave in and forgive me," he probably said to himself, his voice dripping with disbelief. "But instead, he's playing hard to get, and now I'm obsessed with meeting him."
Tristan's approach was simple: don't be a pushover, but don't have a meltdown either. Chad took advantage of his time, but Tristan wasn't going to be too nice about it. He put the ball in his court, giving the appearance of control.
The Month-Long Ghosting
Weeks go by, and Tristan hasn't reached out to Chad. At all. Now, Chad's curiosity turns into desperation. "I never planned on flaking," he probably said to himself, though we can just hear his nervous laughter betraying him. "But now that he's not reaching out, it's driving me crazy."
You see, dear reader, this isn't just about a canceled date; it's about the thrilling game of love, a chess match played with emojis and text messages. And Tristan is playing it like a pro.
A Twist in Tristan’s Tail
Finally, after a month, Chad reaches out to Tristan, and at this point, Tristan gets to decide if they're going to go out.
Lessons from the Love Battlefield
These shenanigans may sound trivial, but let's face it, dating is warfare, and you've got to have a strategy. Tristan's approach? Keep your cool, take control, and never let 'em see you sweat.
Now, next time you find yourself stood up, ready to face a microwave dinner instead of a hot date, just remember Tristan Wilde and his flawless maneuver. Turn that disappointment into an opportunity and watch them squirm.
And who knows? Maybe next time, that flakey date might just become the love-struck pursuer.
