Gee- that almost makes Saturday night worth it!
Based on experience, when I apologize, I almost always make the girl -more- upset with me. I have come to the conclusion that women -don't like- apologies. They take it as some ancient sign of weakness or something. I sent her a reply this morning. My immediate thought was that I should be rude in return. Then I thought, no, if I beg for forgiveness, maybe she'll think that's nice. As I indicated, my past experience has taught me that's TOTALLY the wrong thing to do. So I kind of balanced my reply- not too rough, but not appearing overly apologetic. This is what I wrote:
<<Amy:
Sorry you didn't have a good time. To be honest, I didn't either.
Here's what would be great: if you would be decent. I'm not a bad
person, so please don't imply that I am. You know me well enough to
know that I'm a decent person, and that I'm sorry. I apologized. I
like to either dance close, or more formally. I offered to dance
formally, and you didn't seem interested.
I'm not going to carry a grudge. If I see you I'm going to smile and
wave. You're still invited to dinner with me (completely unromantic,
fer sure). This is more of a peace offering so that nobody is mad.
Good luck in your future endeavors,
Kevin>>
I kind of doubt she'll write back, and I guess that's fine by me. I could send her flowers, etc., but I really don't think I would regain her respect, which in my opinion, she lost because she was dwelling on some aspect of the evening and getting upset... KT |
