Need some advice on a woman

Post Reply New Topic

So I was dating a girl for about a month. I thought she was the whole package... smart, good looking, educated... we had great conversations that lasted for hours... I thought I was truly falling in love with her. I would make her fancy dinners, going all out.... wine glasses, candles, music... I really tried. Really, really tried. And it seemed like it was working. One night, we end up making love. I really wanted to take things slow, but she began taking my clothes off, and I knew it was time. Afterwards, we lay in bed talking for a couple hours... I felt like this was going to be a great relationship. We talked about a trip together. She eventually left, and I went to bed.

Next day, I send her a text message. No response. Next day, nothing. I text her on saturday, inviting her to a steak night. She simply says "I can't. Have fun though." I was perturbed by this. Next day, I text her saying let's go for coffee. She texts me back an hour later, saying she is really busy and can't just do things spontaneously.

I call her, no answer. I text her saying that I don't appreciate being blown off... Then I get a few messages. She says she is very busy, and very unsure of us as a couple. I tell her I care about her, and want to continue to see her from the heart. She says she needs some space to figure things out, and is very unsure. I text her back, and say I have to leave the ball in your court. You know how I feel, I will wait to hear from you.

That was almost 2 weeks ago. No response.

I really cared about this girl... I still do. I don't understand what happened. She seemed like a girl I could really have a relationship with, finally.

Should I just leave things be and move on? Or, should I text her and say we need to go for coffee and talk. If there is any chance of continuing the relationship, I want to seize it.

I am sick of being alone. All I do is work all the time, and I really miss her. I know the chances of me having a successful relationship are slim, due to my AS plus my job schedule.

Should I contact her one last time before I give up, or should I just leave her be and move on?

No, because the ball is in her court now. Her serve. Easier said than done, sure, but it's her serve. So far, she has produced a double fault.

If she wants to call you, she will call you.

She doesn't, so save yourself that one phone call and move on.

She sounds pretty unstable to me. Maybe it's for the best this happened now instead of later on when you may have fallen in love.

Move on. Dump her.

The more you chase her the more she will despise you for being a weak "beta" male.

If you can make it look like you are dumping her then she might chase you.

Did you ask her to stay over after you slept together? Just from personal experience I often get a bit clingy and vulnerable right after sex. Going home afterwards would probably make me feel a bit cheap and unwanted, even if it was me who started it.

2 weeks with no response does suggest that she probably isn't interested. Maybe you could contact her and ask her if that is the case and whether she could let you know if you did anything wrong. That way at least you might learn something from it.

You may have moved too fast for this particular girl. It's hard to tell, but in future if you don't get a reply to your text, don't send another one. It's up to her to respond.

Personally I don't think you moved too fast, although the thread about you 'not appreciating being blown off' sounds a bit threatening. If she is playing games, then the best way to end it is to just not text again. If she is genuinely busy (which is likely as well), then the same solution applies; let her get back to you when she has time and the next time you meet up, maybe come to some formal agreement about when to contact each other (that's what my partner and I did).

Maybe just chalk this one up to experience and move on with your life. She may get back to you, but I wouldn't hang around waiting for it.

I think I do deserve an explanation when someone I just had sex with, who agreed to future plans between us, ceases all communication.

I went back on my word here, and I texted her back. Saying I want to have coffee and talk on thursday. She blew me off again... saying she is busy studying for finals and has no time... But it's "NOTHING PERSONAL"... jesus christ. She has finals, then it's christmas, then she moves to another city in january for at least a few months and won't be here anymore, except on weekends if she comes into the city.

I said I am busy too and not going to chase her. I say there's "busy" and then there's "emotionally unavailable".

She texts me back saying more or less that she thought she was going to have the feelings for me that she needed for a more serious relationship, but they didn't materialize. She says she "was a jerk for not communicating that. Sorry."

That's it.

Ok, fair enough. At least I got some honesty out of her. She doesn't feel the same way as me. I can accept that. This is not the first time I've had this happen, of course. No big deal really. At least I know now.

Time to move on.

Would have been easier if she said that earlier.

I guess people just don't like conflict and try to hide from their problems. Whether thats the real reason or not, I don't know, you probably never will, point is shes not interested do don't waste your time.
