How do you take a sick leave from game?

Well, I've come down with a virus. Something sexually transmitted. LOL psyche! Nah, I was at the mall and couldn't do the usual evasive maneuvers against some coughing dude. Well, I was there looking for girls to have sex with, so therefore it was sexually transmitted.  

Anyway, there are 4 or 5 girls I'm variously trying to get a meet with, but at the moment I feel like something dragged out of a sewer and certainly don't feel up to meeting girls even if I didn't care about giving it to them.

Thing is, most of them we've already been silent a week or two, and I don't want shit to go cold. (Well, in my experience, I'm probably screwed anyway because these things tend to be time critical, though not always.) So I feel like I have to contact them. But usually I prefer to contact girls when I'm ready to set a date. I'm not so used to contacting them when I'm not prepared to set a date within a couple days or so... it seems counter-productive.

I'm halfways thinking to just straight up tell them I'm sick, so they don't think I'm avoiding them and/or not serious about seeing them.

But on the other hand, I'm not sure if being sick is a good admission to be making. I usually like to have a mysterious, strong, in-control manner to me if I can. Well, being sick is a little plain, weak, and fragile, so I'm not sure that's a good look!

Any ideas? What do you tend to do when you've fallen ill while you had girls somewhere early in the process?

nothing is more dominant than taking care of yourself first.

Sniffing and coughing don't show up on text.

"Hey I'm fighting a bug so I'm going to turn in early tonight and try to beat it."

It is a huge investment if she checks up on you..."Hey how you feeling?"

Give them that opportunity...let them do the work and express their intent...Might even get some Chicken soup out of it.

FT,

Thanks for the advice!

I sent them pings just checking in on how they were doing and of course they asked the same so I was just straight up about being down with a bug and resting. Got the obligatory "get well soons" .. one of them gave advice, lol.

We'll have to see how these pick up afterwards. I could've maybe chatted a bit more but I normally don't get into chit chat on SMS. (These are girls I met in person... I know on-line requires a bit more chatter, which is only theory to me since I've never done on-line.) Then again, I only get out 25% of the girls who will answer a text, so maybe my don't-chat position is overdone, I dunno.

Cheers,
Phoenix

See if they'll come over and take care of you as the date. I've done that before and it went rather well. We met for coffee near my house and I just immediately told her I'm sick but wanted to get to know her why dont you just come over and we'll make some soup. Then make her promise no sexual advances since you need to save your strength (set precedent so she wont feel slutty for coming straight over to a strangers house).

But if you want to go this route probably better to just do it via phone then meeting up first.
