I thought we had something special ;( : dating_advice

Facts: 24M met a lovely 19F in a public area who instantly took to me with eyes widening, attentive listening, asking me to take a seat when I was standing.

Set up the first date easily through text. The whole first date she was basically touching me the whole time and getting within a few cm of my face. Kissed her at the end of the first date when she was at her car. Second date her behaviour didn't change and I kissed her after dropping her home.

She visited me twice at work and called me cute each time. The second time she visited she was tipsy from drinks and said she wished I wasn't working because she wanted to be with me.

Third date I invited her back to my place and she exhibited the same touchy behaviour, she even asked me to show my bedroom to her. We ended up having sex. She wasn't wearing a bra so she wanted/expected sex. Unfortunately I had difficulty maintaining an erection but she was still patient and made a lot of effort trying to blow me. We had to stop all of a sudden as my mother got home early unexpectedly and she felt shy/wanted to leave the house even though my mother left shortly after. I offered to cook her food etc. but we went to a park instead and the touching/hand holding/kissing continued.

Deviation from normal behaviour started from this point. I sent her a Merry Christmas message to which she replied with a generic “Merry Christmas yall”. After that I set up a fourth date to which she agreed to but unfortunately I felt sick so had to cancel.

Texted her to set up a date a week later to which she stopped responding half way through. Messaged her casually a few days later and she responded, apologising that she ‘lost her sim card’. Didn’t offer to meet up. Asked her to meetup another day to which she said had work. Decided to persevere and asked her about a different day to which she agreed.

On the day for unforeseen reasons I had to change the date venue (but still meetup) a few hours before and tried calling her. She texted back saying she was at work/so I had to explain over text. She then responded that she had to work late because someone called in sick. I then asked her what she was doing the next day. Normally I wouldn’t arrange a meetup like that so soon after she flaked on me straight away but she is leaving for a 2 week trip in a few days and I would be leaving interstate soon after that.

She’s seen my text (got a read receipt) and hasn’t responded. Just wondering what’s going on. A few days before our date she sent me a picture of my work and on the day she cancelled sent me a photo of her at work. If she lost interest why would she still be sending me things??? Attention???

Other facts which may or may not be relevant:

It wasn’t all physical, she laughed at my jokes and asked questions about my hobbies etc. at our meetings and remembered/texted me on my Birthday.
I told her on our first date that I was studying interstate and only in her city for a month a so but keen to move back to her city after this year
I was a virgin which I didn’t bring up with her
She asked for my snapchat on the first date but she/I haven’t asked for/connected on facebook even though we’ve mentioned it in passing
She hasn't initiated any dates/texts

My thoughts (more subjective): My instinct tells me she genuinely likes me. I know she's young but no one has ever looked at me the way she has, it's so puppy like and genuine. At the back of my mind I wonder if I was being played/she's just (ironically) using me for sex/to pass time/attention? She knew I was leaving her city in January so I'm wondering what her motive is in seeing me? Sex didn’t go so well and afterwards she apologised for ‘not making me cum’. Maybe she was turned off by that experience. She also asked me if I knew we were going to have sex, and I didn’t give a concrete answer because I was afraid of sounding sex hungry. Maybe she feels like I’m a little naïve/she was too forward and now embarrassed? Could it be that she lost interest because we didn’t meet for 2-3 weeks after sex?

Happy to provide more details on any part of what I said if it helps. I really like this girl ;( and am more interested in a LTR than a hookup.

Quotes from the book “You were promised to me” by Elchin Safarli – LitRes

Everyone forgets differently. Someone seeks salvation in vodka, someone in illusions, someone in the past. If I'm looking for salvation, does that mean I still believe? Or is it just a temporary pain reliever? nine0003

* * * * *

No strength to make a choice. Moreover, in reality there is no right choice - there is only the choice made and its consequences.

* * * * *

I fall asleep in the illusion that the files with the past are locked. Although thoughts, great traitors, still originate from the events of that time.

* * * * *

Loneliness laughs at those who hide from it in illusions. Anyway, we will return to it sooner or later, disappointed to the last drop of blood. nine0003

* * * * *

In relationships with people, we like to play roles. Require actors to strictly follow our interpretation. And at the same time we play selflessly. Then, sooner or later, someone will want to be themselves for at least an hour, and not a character. And in that moment everything falls apart.

* * * * *

Often I want to believe that I am in the last stage of recovery, when a critical perception of reality takes precedence over nostalgia, memories.

* * * * *

In life, people periodically crumble into pieces, and then they are collected, and a new picture is obtained. I don’t know what kind of picture I am, I’m all the time in pieces. Sometimes they are larger, and then I feel better, and it seems that some kind of harmonious prudence is about to come. And sometimes they are so small that I don’t understand at all what to do with these crumbs. Exhausting.

* * * * *

Now I hate it. Such quiet hatred when you want to hurt even at a distance. nine0003

* * * * *

Both people and dogs have the same desire - to be loved.

* * * * *

When a woman decides to give herself to a man, she certainly wants to know his origins. Surrendering is not a single physical action, it is a process, germination into what becomes the most dear. A woman needs it: to know what his day was like before now their day.

* * * * *

Support is not to be found in a friend or a cigarette. In myself.

* * * * *

When asked if the glass is half full or empty, I prefer the answer “there is water in the glass”. The main thing is that there is still water. Encouraging realism?..

* * * * *

And why is the past such an infection that it doesn't disappear at all, even when it's vital?

* * * * *

At a certain period of life we meet a certain person who is needed in this particular period. Such a strange law of attraction, such a mutually beneficial salvation. We spend some time together, then we will definitely part. Because each of us needs to go further, enter a new, next period of our destiny. Marriage is designed for the lazy, who find it easier to stop halfway than to go further. nine0003

* * * * *

First I fall in love with the very thought of him, then with the plus sign of the dough, the pod with arms and legs, and then with the chubby little man who puts his feet in his mouth. Feelings for him change quickly. In the first year it seems: well, you can’t love anymore. Then this love expands, deepens, multiplies in some absolutely incredible dimensions. And every new day becomes another step on a long journey. Now mom is already a companion, hand in hand, and not just shelter and food.

* * * * *

What good have I done for the universe that it is so generous in giving me you?

* * * * *

Everyone around is sneezing and complaining with one voice about poplar fluff. Just like small children, so many extra words. Poplar fluff is not that evil, but just such an obvious fact of life as heat in summer or snow in winter. It flies, it will torment you for a week, it will stop, but then relief will come.

* * * * *

Happiness is a property of character. Some have it in their nature to wait all the time, others continuously look for it, and others find it everywhere. nine0003

* * * * *

After all, women are much better than men. We are brainless selfish, narcissistic whiners. Too much we do for the sake of public opinion. And women believe in us to the last and, I am sure that many, if I shared my thoughts with them, would say: “No, mine is not like that!” They are able to find excuses for us - that is their absolute advantage.

* * * * *

We should collect our thoughts, but I'm afraid not a single thought will come to the meeting.

* * * * *

Silence is your best friend. Verified. She doesn't want anything from you. She just sits next to him, charges with peace. Just don't confuse silence with silence.

* * * * *

You know, I must have waited so long for summer to miss autumn again. Through slightly cold air and sad twilight. Wrap yourself in a scarf, keep your hands warm in your pockets. .. I'm crazy, right? All year I hurried summer, it has come and that's it, I'm burning out. And it's not the heat, I don't get tired of it. It's just that I'm more like autumn in character. nine0003

* * * * *

They say that there are no miracles left in the world, that there is no more a single unicorn, not a single dragon, and dryads with elves have sunk into the distant past. I myself sometimes believe in the disappearance of all this. But then I remember my childhood, as it is now, and everything again seems two-sided, like a wizard's hat - reality and a fairy tale. It’s just that everyday life with its kicks makes us believe that life has one layer.

* * * * *

It's easy for others to say, "Don't take it to heart." How can they know what is the depth of your heart? And where is close for him? nine0003

* * * * *

Without you there is no way, without you there is no need.

* * * * *

In summer, I crave sweets more than food.

* * * * *

A man is pleased to know that a woman is saddened by his absence. We cherish our selfishness.

* * * * *

As a child, I loved coloring books. I could not draw, there was no spatial imagination. Therefore, with pleasure I decorated the finished drawings. So it is with life. It is given to us colorless, with clearly defined contours and a general pattern. We decide with whom or what to start and what color to paint. This is what we define. You tried to get away from it by throwing your pencils aside. Then your coloring remained nothing, gray. As a result, dullness surrounded you from all sides, you began to merge with it. You can not do it this way! You have to choose your own colors. First, color the sun yellow. Or, if you like, green!.. True, sometimes strength runs out, pencils are erased. But they came up with sharpeners for that ...

* * * * *

If a woman receives attention and care from a man, even a friend, she involuntarily thinks about the possibility of being together.

* * * * *

All life consists in freedom. Only this does not mean allowing yourself what you cannot afford for some reason, a taboo. These are not drugs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And do not seek salvation in the arms of unloved people. Freedom is the ability to move in any direction. Go and listen to your desires. Do not think about money and the notorious moral duty, conditions, circumstances. It would seem that such freedom cannot be afforded - it looks too reckless. But it's easy if you want. You just need to understand everything and take the first step. Forward. nine0003

* * * * *

Happiness does not have a session schedule, it may start even after turning off the projector. Therefore, it is foolish to run after what should happen anyway, as well as to run away from it.

* * * * *

Everything that, from my point of view, defies explanation, I call either "bullshit" or "love."

* * * * *

We sit on the curb of the square with plastic cups of coffee, stretch our legs. Nothing is thought of. We feel good in this most ordinary weekday. The beauty of life is in an instant. We, the former children, have forgotten how to see it. Children wake up in the morning and perceive the new day as a miracle, like the first day of their life. Most adults don't know how to do this. We can't stop thinking about tomorrow, we can't leave the past behind. We constantly sigh, regretting something. It's time to retrain. nine0003

* * * * *

Sooner or later we all come to the point of saturation with all kinds of human relationships. It could happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, next year or in a few years. This state is called maturity. For me, it's too pretentious. Everything is simpler: you understand that everything that has happened and everything that can happen will no longer penetrate so deeply into you. Not because of the increased armor. It's just that you have so many all kinds of relationships that there is no room for new ones. And then you pass them, yes, filled to the throat and wounded to the bottom, but strong in your own wealth. nine0003

* * * * *

We women of the big cities have become too masculine. Weaned ourselves from the desire to trust the opposite sex, to show the weakness that is in us by nature, no matter how we argue with it. We are afraid to admit to ourselves how sometimes we want to hug someone and bury our nose on the cheek. Life is beautiful when someone's cheek needs your nose.

* * * * *

You no longer give your all to people. You separate a piece from what you can share, you extend it to someone who is worthy and truly needs. nine0003

* * * * *

Blows to the back are most often delivered by those who are defended with their chests.

* * * * *

I fell in love with the eyes, did not think about what awaits me with this person. Love, like a sponge, easily absorbs not only everything beautiful, but also all human dirt - lies, betrayal, humiliation.

* * * * *

Drink one big mug of coffee for two, buy ugg boots of the same color, hide your frozen chin in your scarf, run in the rain in short dashes from cover to cover. To live through the winter with thoughts of summer Italy, then finally break out there to bypass cafes in sunny squares and gorge on cheese ravioli. nine0003

* * * * *

I thought I would never forget him, and I would live with this disability in my heart. But it turned out that he played only a cameo role.

* * * * *

It turns out that the feeling of happiness inside can always be present, and its especially bright splashes appear in moments.

* * * * *

Sometimes love cannot endure even a short separation. Too fragile feeling, for which neglect is often fatal.

* * * * *

In love, there is no precise definition of anything except the fact of love itself. She either exists or she doesn't. Everything else is pictures with a subjective alignment of feelings and the possibility of consequences. Especially when it comes to the feelings of a woman. We are in love, no matter how we shout about pride and feminism, we think about the whole, and men about themselves.
