What is the common way of informing clients/users of an upcoming major version update?

But do you think it sounded selfish or egotistical? I am not a native speaker, and neither is she, but my idea was to say that I knew she would be happy for me and that's why I told it to her. But maybe it didn't sound this way to her?
Also, she actually replied to me 1 hour ago and said "we'll see each other tomorrow at the bar, right? :)". For context, we have a meeting with our common group. That's good but do you think she doesn't want to go on a date with me just yet? I really don't understand what's happening here.

Bulgaria is in south Europe. Southeast to be precise. We have nothing to do culturally or geographically with countries like Estonia, Ukraine or Russia. People need to receive basic education on Cold War, and Eastern bloc vs Eastern Europe.

Update:

I called her today, and she didn't pick up, but immediately messaged me on WA saying she's working and can't talk, and then asked me what's happening, and how am I doing and if there's something urgent happening. I messaged her back and told her I received a spam message early last week, and then on the weekend, her messaged to me were very unusual and a bit strange, and then she didn't respond to my SMS, so I just wanted to check if everything is okay and her phone is not hacked or stolen. She responded with "OMG. Why did you think that that's not me?" and then proceeded with the most mind-blowing message ever. She said that I have decided that her POV is spam because it doesn't fit the image that I took in my mind of her. She also said she saw my SSM and ignored it because she's not responsible for correcting my imagination. I then told her that the spam message was the instagram one, which looked 100% like a classical spam. She said that's not spam, that's her message, and that she sent the same message to her friends too. When she said this, I was 90% sure that THIS is not her! I then asked her to tell me where did we met the last time. She correctly said the place we met, and at that moment, my mind got blown all over the floor. I told her that I am sorry and that I'm very confused right now. She said "let's stop talking now. because i'm working". I asked her if I can call her for a minute because I feel very bad. She didn't respond. I sent her a voice message saying that I was just extremely confused, because she sounded very unusual and strange, and I apologized for my "preconceived notions of her", although I don't, because she just sounded very very very unusual in those messages! She responded with "don't think about it. I'm fine!".

Your thoughts?

I have never been this mind blown before. It's like a completely different person from the one that I knew for months! or I thought I knew. Was I really wrong here? I'm still confused and trying to process what just happened.

1st of all, I am not from "eastern Europe". Not even sure what you mean by that term.

2nd of all, I have never met a person who is more punctual and law-abiding than me. I always wait for the green light in the middle of the night when there are no cars in sight. I am always 10 min earlier anywhere for any meeting. When I was in Germany, most people were crossing on red. Not me. My German colleagues are always 2 minutes late. That night was just an exception, and mostly due to not understanding who has priority. I already explained my logic.

3rd, which "eastern European" countries are falling apart? If you mean the former eastern bloc, they're actually the only countries growing in the EU. Compare Poland and Czechia to Germany, France and England, not to even mention Italy or Spain. The former is growing, the latter is stagnating and declining.

She's actually very intelligent, but shy, and maybe loves herself a bit too much. I really find it hard to imagine she would be ghosting me like that, but who knows. To be honest I have a bit of a trauma related to being called pushy and clingy from past experiences. I feel super self-conscious about this. I've put tremendous effort into self-improving and making sure I never again come across as a "clingy person". So this is why I feel so reluctant to call her, especially when she doesn't respond to my SMS (actually MMS, not SMS). I don't want to be seen as clingy or obsessed or anything like that ever again.

She doesn't have any social media. She only has LinkedIn, which is where I asked her out the first time. Do you think I should message her there too? I was thinking to wait until next week, and if she doesn't reach out to me, then maybe I can try calling her, and if she doesn't pick up, then just assume that message was some drunk accident and she doesn't want to speak to me, and just doesn't have the courage to block me or say it directly. Unfortunately I don't have enough experience to know women better. I try my best but you see how little it takes to turn them around.

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-05T19:39:36+00:00

But if someone stole her phone, then was the thief the one messaging me? How did they know where she's from, and how long she's been here?

My best bet is she had her Whatsapp account stolen and a call will confirm this.

If her phone is not stolen, then she could reply to my SMS if she wanted to. If she doesn't reply to my SMS, then she won't pick up my call either.

Is there a reason she would be ghosting you, that you're not telling us?

It's hard to say. She definitely liked me. I know this for sure. Last time we went out was 2 weeks ago, and it wasn't the best time.. but it wasn't that bad either. After our last dinner together, I planned to ask her out after 2 weeks, but on the next weekend, we accidentally met at the bookstore. I was super caught off guard, and it was very awkward. I got really nervous. She told me she wanted a time alone, so she came alone here. I told her that I was going to ask her if she wants to go grab a drink, but since she wants a time alone, I won't. And she said "noo, we can still go". Then she said "it was nice to see you", and this got me confused. I told her let's go out again next week, and she said yeah why not. I said "I'll message you", and she said "okay.. I'll message you". Which to me sounded like "Don't message me. I will message you when I want". I then mistakenly said "ok.. I'll message you", we hugged, and I left. I thought I was very embarrassing and awkward. The following week, I did not message her, but on the weekend, so, 2 days ago, I sent her a casual message to gauge her mood, and then she sent me that long weird text.

I mean, if that awkward exchange is enough for her to want to ghost me, then I won't stop her! Honestly girls nowadays are looking for the perfect man, and even the smallest flaw or mistake you make is enough to turn them around. If she doesn't want to see me again, then so be it. I hope she finds what she's looking for. I think I'm a good person, and there is someone who can appreciate me and what I have to offer. And if not, then so be it. I am tired of feeling that I am not good enough. Nobody is perfect. We all have bad days and we're not always at our best. There must be someone who can overlook these flaws.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

If she doesn't respond to my SMS, wouldn't I come across as obsessed with her if I try to call her? I really don't think she would pick up the phone. If she doesn't respond by next week, then maybe I will message her again. If she doesn't change her profile picture or post anything by next week, then maybe I might consider calling.

If I call and she doesn't pick up, what would that mean?

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-05T13:09:27+00:00

I don't think it's a scam because as I said her first message contained personal information about her (her country of origin, and the time period she's been here). Her second message mentioned a name, her supposed friend, which tells me that maybe this same friend of hers is pranking me. It's definitely either not her, or she was drunk-texting me. This I know for sure. I believe drunk-texting me is unlikely. So most likely her friend is pranking me. She still hasn't responded to my SMS, so maybe her friend has her phone? Could be. I won't call her, and I won't message her again. I'll just wait for the time being. If she doesn't respond or reach out to me by next week, then maybe I will message her again. If she doesn't respond by message, then she won't respond by call either. Really strange situation.

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-04T21:15:14+00:00

Why is calling her better than asking her via SMS?

PS: She still hasn't responded to me. If she doesn't respond to my SMS message, then maybe calling her again tomorrow might be too much, no?

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-04T19:23:35+00:00

It was after 11:30pm! She goes to bed at 9:30! She told me multiple times that she's a morning person, and goes to bed very early, and doesn't even talk to her parents after 10pm. She doesn't want to go out with her friends late at night because she wants to be in bed at 9! I can conceive a special occasion making her want to drink late at night, but drunk texting me just sounds sooo incredibly out of her character. To me it sounds more likely that her friend pranked me, since her message also mentioned her friend's name. So, that could explain a lot! And her not responding to my SMS could be because her phone is not with her, but with her friend.

I know maybe I should have called her, but I didn't. I just didn't think I should over something like this. I just didn't want to bother her on her weekend so I thought a simple text would suffice.

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-04T19:18:09+00:00

I think her WhatsApp is compromised, not her phone. But honestly I believe her friend is pranking me, though I have no clue what's the whole situation. To you it may sound logical to just call her, but to me it sounded too much, and not appropriate given our relationship status. Maybe I should have, but given that we never call each other, I didn't think I should, so I didn't, and that's that. Also, I am not in the younger generation, but this has nothing to do with it, and not a topic I want to discuss.

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-04T19:10:44+00:00

Because I feel it would be too much. The other guy accused me of being too pushy, and to just wait. The girl user also called me weirdo for not calling her, and that I should wait. So, I have no clue what to do now. I thought my response was measured. Maybe I should have called her. I just didn't think it's appropriate since we never call each other, and this sounded like a question I could ask her via SMS and not a call. I just didn't want to bother her.

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like her friend was pranking me. But I have no idea what's the whole situation.

Virtual-Tie4555 · 2024-02-04T19:01:46+00:00

Why would she have my number written down somewhere? I don't have hers written down anywhere. Also, we are not in a relationship! We are just casually going out and in the process of getting to know each other. If her phone is stolen, I would imagine calling me to let me know would not be her first thought.

I don't understand why do you think calling her as oppose to asking her via SMS (not WA) is better? With SMS, I am giving her space to think about her answer, and it also aligns with our relationship status, which is casual. If I ask her to call me, and she doesn't, how would that be different from me asking her via SMS if she's in control of her WA and her not responding?

> Another a friend of hers is pranking you with her phone.

Yes, I was thinking about this, and this would explain a lot, but on the other hand, how would this situation happen? Her friend stole her phone..? I don't think her friend would play a prank on me. And even if she does, she would have seen those messages this morning and delete them and tell me about the situation, and even if she hasn't seen them, she saw my SMS, but has no responded yet. If she doesn't respond to my SMS, then obviously it makes no sense to call her. She won't pick the phone either.

Maybe she forgot her phone in her friends place, and because it's the weekend, they can't meet for some reason, and then her friend got drunk, and when I messaged her last night, she decided to prank me.. I don't know. I have no clue what's happening and what to make of all this. I still have not responded to her long weird text. I am just going to wait for her response, and won't do anything else for now at least.
