That text is a gentle send off, not an invitation to a second date. It’s the opposite of an invitation. It’s saying the interaction is over, and is not expected to lead to any further interactions. ---

> [@FBJJ](#): > > She actually stated it was a pleasure meeting me Accounting for regional dialectal differences: “It’s a pleasure” = “Bless your heart”. > [@FBJJ](#): > > departmental discipline means NO DISCIPLINE And this you know…how? After all, police officers do get suspended, fired, and even sent for prosecution after departmental discipline. Just because you think every single cop on the planet is a criminal doesn’t actually mean they are. Unlike you, departmental review boards and courts require proof. > [@FBJJ](#): > > I don’t know what you mean, this is the exact text > > “Thanks for the message, I got home ok. It was a pleasure meeting you and my presentation went very well” > > I thought it was a positive text Well, of course you do. You’re wrong about so many things, there’s a likelihood that your’e wrong about that. Maybe her presentation was in pretending that you were worth spending the time with after she met you in person. A better choice, of course, once she found out what kind of moron you are would have been to bail immediately. > [@FBJJ](#): > > Well I wonder why she came home and viewed my profile 7 times. All this is confusing She couldn’t believe she wasted her time with such a dunce and kept checking to see if you were for real. ---

I know (a very stupid person) someone who got a rejection letter from a job interview and was all excited. “Hey, look! They say they will keep me on file! I bet I’ll get the next opening!” I didn’t have the heart… ---

So if she sent a text saying it was a pleasure meeting me 2 days later and is not interested in a 2nd date then that means she is retarded ---
