Is it normal i think this is a dick move?
Okay so a friend of mine who online dates has this strategy where after his first date with a girl, he'll text her later that night or the next morning whatever with literally your typical casual reject. So he'll text her and say "Had a great time and enjoyed you as a person but I didn't feel a strong connection so I think I'd ready to stop dating" or something generic like that.
THEN if she replies "politely" he basically says sike it was just a test of your character and then tries pursuing her normally. His rationale is that the shallow or bitter women will ignore his text and move on, or reply with anger, but the ones that were truly interested will take the time to politely accept the rejection.
What do you think of a guy using this strategy?
Obviously, based on the title I think its bad. Its playing with her emotions too much and I feel like a girl who was genuinely interested would be put through an unnecessary swing of emotions. Thoughts?
