I 26(m) don’t feel bad in the sense that I regret my decision in rejecting this girl. Rather, I feel bad because I don’t like rejecting people considering that it could hurt emotionally even though you have to do it sometimes.
One day, one of my mother’s clients and her were talking about about how the client’s daughter 24(f) and a recent nursing school grad has never been in a relationship or been on a date. My mother knows the girl as she’s also my mom’s client and she considers her to be like a daughter. So then the discussion got around to my mom and the girl’s mom trying to set the two of us up because I never had a date at that point since in my early 20s I was so focused on my studies and fixing my health after beating cancer. Ironically, both apparently said that they can’t force us to be together.
The thing is, this girl is super sweet but she’s not my type and I told my mother this and to tell them I’m flattered but I just don’t see her that way and that I’m busy trying to get into law school. My mom didn’t communicate this and the other girls mother kept asking my mother if I’m down to go on a date with her to which my mom kept saying he’s busy right now.
Once I got my law school acceptance, I downloaded Hinge a week later and the girl hit me up on it. Not knowing what to do, I swiped left and the girl stopped going to my mom and now my mother is mad at me as I expected.
Could I have handled this better?
