First reply for me in this thread but I have been in this "situation" for quite a while now (2.5yrs). I have just about given up attempting anything serious with females because Iam just sick and tired of being put through the emotional grinder. Now I don't seem to have any problems when going out and having some "fun" (especialy lately) but when it comes to meeting someone where it's not just based solely on the lust factor and I want to pursue it further then just a root it ALWAYS fucks up. Now you might be sitting there reading this thinking well maybe the issue/problem lies squarely with me. In some instances it most likely has and I have acknowledged this? Maybe I have been too pushy? So what do I do, I back off and be all chilled about it but do you think that works... NO, then iam accused of not showing enough interest. The line is so damn fine with you girls!
Here's my reason for needing to vent my spleen....
Meet what seems to be a nice girl at St.Kilda Festival in Febuary, have a chat for about half hour and there seems to be a friendly connection. She gives me her number and tells me it's her birthday the next w/end and iam invited if I want to come. I don't end up going on her advice that there is someone there that iam not exactly too friendly with. All Good. That Sunday night SHE sends me an SMS saying she had a huge birthday and would like to catch up during the week for Dinner. Obviously I accept. Had dinner and drinks and got along like a house on fire, couldn't shut us both up. Great! Sends me an SMS afterwards saying she had a really nice night, hope to catch up soon. I organise Dinner the following week, pay for her meal... she even opens up to me about personal stuff about family trauma when growing up etc. which seems to show a great deal of trust in me already.
Afterwards she hopes I can come out to where she was going on that Friday night but I already had plans. Oh well no biggie I think. Have dinner again following week and have another nice in depth chat. This was over 2 weeks.... this was the last time I have seen her. Afterwards I said lets catch up on the w/end, says she is too busy with Grandparents coming down. No problems will organise to catch up soon. The next week says she is busy with heaps of stuff, so I said ok then you give me a call and let me know when YOU do have the time to catch up. No call for a week, so I SMS saying hey how was your week, what you up to? Lets catch up soon. It's now a week later and NOTHING
Now girls I want to know WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE WRONG??!! Seriously. This girl seems to have her shit together. 26, holds down a corporate job, has travelled, easy going etc. I swear I have said nothing wrong to scare her (I was deliberatly careful in what I said as sick of being fucked around in the past), I didn't push her we just kissed each other on the cheek at beginning and end of each "date". It was just carefree and relaxed. I just wanted to get to know her better and I was... until now. Maybe she is really busy, ok, accepted but SO AM I and it's not hard to make a bloody phone call is it??
I know I shouldn't generalise but you girls are a VERY strange breed. Either I just know how to pick the wrong ones.... getting close to double figure attempts in terms of pursuing something serious in the past 2.5 years. Or iam doing something seriously wrong. Surely the law of averages would say iam due... *sigh" I dunno
