Wtf. Dude. You are so fine here. You guys are just busy and can't find time to be free together. This is totally normal.

She definitely likes you but there is an issue because you won't be able to see her for a while which means she may forget how much she liked you. Which can then lead to her saying she doesn't want to see you.

As of right now, you are sweet.

In 9 days time or whenever she's available again she may not feel the same way.

I think the only thing you can do to avoid this is send her a text every few days just for a quick chat. Say 5-10 msgs each. Or maybe a phone call or two. Just to show you care about how she's going and also so she remembers why she likes you.

Don't be so insecure dude. At the moment you're fine.

You saying you can't do the weekend is exactly the same as her saying 'I have to study'. They are unavoidable clashes. You are busy people. It's gonna happen.

when she said weekend why did you say thursday? and she is 500 miles away?

Actually more of a beat then a brag. Whatever u do do not get serious with this girl as she is crazy.

Really depends on how young the bride is. From my experience its only the grenades that are single. The difference in looks of chicks Toronto- to most places in New Zealand is astronomical, so I imagine there would still be a lot of hotties in canada.

Nothing is wrong. She was legit sick. Work is obv very important to her. I think after Sept 16 she will get back to you. Based on her text language there is nothing to suggest she is not still into you. If she wasnt keen she would not be texting you back.

funky,

you exaggerate here. It's all been said, but you are fine.
Text her now and wish her success for the GRE and then get back to her on 19th.

This is my view as well but It doesn't always apply. I've known people who take these standardized tests really seriously and even though their strategy of being a hermit is not a good strategy and in the end most of the time they don't follow though with it they nevertheless convince themselves that they are going to. As such I don't see this as the bad thing it would be under other circumstances.

The situation is difficult to read but I am leaning toward you are fine with a 70-80% probability.

The options on how to play this are numerous and really depend on what you want from this relationship and you're individual personalities but as far as thinking you ****ed up that is likely a mistake. You're most likely fine.

I would say after your first date her attraction for you was at its peak but maybe as the days went on she got distracted etc and has slowly lost interest. She could be legit stressed about her exam but I think if she was really into you she would still make time. There is no excuse to take 48 hours to reply to your text imo (especially if you are someone she is dating., no one is that busy. so im leaning towards she's lost interest.

What you should do is tell her to let you know when she is free then wait for her to initiate.

I just texted her "no worries gl on the gre. Let me know if you want to hangout after" she instareplied "thanks for understanding. Will bein touch" we'll see

I would still keep in touch every few days. Just to keep the attachment strong.

I'm developing oneitis for one of the girls I'm seeing atm. Shes pretty awesome. The single life might be in trouble here.

Well obv nothing serious. There are 0 beats there and in plan on banging this chick at all 7 home games this season if possible. (only 7 times I'll be in town)

9 tho? really? 9?

lettuce be cereal, that aint real tea

U wot mayt?

Question: I have a few free days.. should I read this thread completely or search for the posts of the people who look like they know what they are doing?

Read all posts by wsopmichael and you will get all you need out of this thread.

Read all the posts by me and you will be a lady killer in less than 4.6 days.

Serious answer: Doubt reading the entire thing is necessary but this thread and the EDF dating thread (the old long one, they just started a new one recently that's like 1 page) have a ton of good info. When I got out of a LTR a few years ago and realized I was clueless I read the entire EDF thread and most of this one. Great stuff.

i don't think touching base just because is a good move--might come off as too clingy considering we've only met twice. i was thinking of asking if she wanted to get lunch one day, since we work two blocks away. not sure how that would be received though

Funky,
Get off the gas, you seem desperate at the moment.

Contact her a day or two after the GRE. If she is keen on meeting up with you again, she will make it obvious in her reply. Until then, do something else.

I'm of the same view. I don't believe in initiating contact unless there is a specific purpose -- usually to make plans or to check in on something significant. Making contact just to chat is always a bad play.

I like the lunch idea if you are looking for something more serious.

I disagree. After one date (?) you could just be some guy you went out with once. There's not enough there to keep the attachment for so long imo.

Lunch is perfect. She has to eat anyway so it may as well be with you.

This is bad imo. It comes across as clingy and you have nothing going on for yourself. Especially in this scenario since she wants space to concentrate on exam. Only contact to set something up, if not wait till she initiates first (very unlikely).
