Tell'em Off?

I had this debate with a friend about a million times.

What do you do if your date treats you like a piece of garbage?

A. Scream at him then and there for acting like a monster.
B. Wait two weeks till you get over it. Then call him and give him a piece of your mind.
C. Email him asking him what prompted his idiotic move.
D. Say nothing to him directly. Call the Shadchan or a friend. Scream about it. All guys are jerks.
E. Blog about it.
F. He is a jerk. That has nothing to do with you. You diagnose him as crazy and move on.

Vote on the top right corner of the blog.

1) A friend of mine went out with a guy for a couple of months after which he crudely dumped her. She started screaming at him for going out without resolving his issues. For going out while he was really incapable of committing.
He told her he was impressed that she was handling the break-up so well. "Other girls have their heads in their hands at this point." he said.
"Other girls!?" She screamed. "You do this to other girls?! You are entirely out of your mind."

2) Another friend had a back and forth with a guy where it was unclear whether he was being his friendly self or whether he was interested in actually going out with her. After what seemed like an eternity, and the involvement of a shadchan, he said he would call.
He never did.
Finally she called him up and let him know what she thinks.

3) I did this to guys from the Dating Trap series and the Grizzly Bear types. I emailed them. Asking them not to embarrass humanity anymore. And they apologized. And then I felt better.
