Girl who ghosted me now wants a referral. Should I ignore ?

Hi Blind, So recently I met this girl through my sister and we spoke and exchanged numbers. I texted her on Friday and asked her if she wanted to try out an Italian restaurant a friend introduced me to. I got no response till today. She apologized and said she hadn’t seen my message because she’s been occupied applying for job and jumped straight to asking me for a referral ? I know she hasn’t been that busy because she’s been posting on instagram. Should I just ignore her ? Tc:205k

Did your sister explicitly introduce you two for like.,. Romantic reasons? Because if there’s a chance she did it just for her friend to network… maybe things got confused Otherwise I would just ignore her lol. Or actually maybe not. Idk - how close is she with your sister and how close are you? I hate conflict so I might just refer and then put her on my shit list in my head and move on

Ignore and next time you meet, say you didn't see her message if she presses you.

Say you've been really busy referring people you know for jobs

Ignore her. I think it's ok if she doesn't want to go out and she can politely refuse but ghosting is not right. People need to learn that they cannot treat others like shit and then ask for favors.

Most levelheaded explanation I’ve seen

That is like asking an ex who ghosted and such for a referral. Nah dawg.

You guys are so unimaginative. Give her the referral, then give her two leetcode hards to start her loop. Don’t get mad, get even. EDIT: Have the HM give her some in-house hards, then text her after she fails and tell her that you tried to hook her up with easies. Break her spirit and make her question herself, cmon.

What grade is she in? Same homeroom?

She’s probably not attracted to you, that’s all. There is no reason to not refer her.

Decent people still respond and keep formal polite communication when not attracted. That allows to circle back and ask for referrals in the future. When you ghost and then lie that didn’t see a message… good luck with those manipulations.

I was talking to a girl. We both thought that we should meet up. Then there was no response for 3-4 days. After that she messaged on a Saturday to meet up that day. Politely told her to take a hike. The surprising part is that she was so surprised. The entitlement! SMH. Decline her, OP

Pure Storage qsiB87 Jul 18, 2023

Your situation is different. Your girl asked to meet after 3-4 days. Maybe she was busy or something. You should have met her, why not? OPs girl didn’t ask to meet, she asked for referral only. See the difference? ;)
