This is going to be quite long because I'm trying to give as much details about it.
It has been boggling my mind for a quite a while and I need to make it clear for me in order to grown and not make same mistake (if I've actually done any) further in time.
This is about the girl that I was posting on in my few previous threads.
So I basically know her for about 8 years (but not that deep - most of the time either she or I were abroad) and I was basically a friend for her and she didn't represented such a big interest for me at that time, althought I've tried to game her in the past.
However few months ago (fall 2014) we started seeing each other more often, just as friends but eventually we hooked up in november. It just happened, I did my thing and we kissed. She came to my place several times and I was at her place few times and we slept once. (that night that I did the
cooking thing for her the next morning).
We saw each other couple of times after that and at the one time she told me that:
"We better just remain friends".
She did me that before too, but I managed to handle it and not take it seriously. (since a lot of time women don't mean what they say, they test, and I don't catch up for all they say).
However this time I could't manage to handle it as before and I tried again to kino escalate and play it as nothing happened, but she still persisted that she was serious about it.
I then backed off and said...
"Cool, no problem I think it is also better to remain friends". I didn't got emotional, I didn't asked why, I was just cool with that. Even told her that if that is so, then its OK to date another women, she replied:
"well sure, no problem for me". (no negative emotion here)
So this happened end of november and I decided to really not bother with her until she contacts me and date other women for real.
She contacted me for Christmas - wishing me Merry Christmas and to fulfill my dreams and missions. (because we spoke about those before and I guess it really made an impression to her). And then she told me:
"Oh and btw you got my book at your place right - I'll need it back, so when you are able call me to give it to me"
I was thinking that it would be childish to fool her around about the book and play her to come and get it. So I messaged her few days after New Year to come at the gym after I finish training and we go to drink something and I give her the book. She said OK, but then she said its not very convenient for her to come to the sports gym, and she suggested another location at a later time. I told her that just better call me during the week and better meet then. She said:
"don't count on that" (i.e. IMO - not sure).
So now I'll not contact her since she doesn't... or at least not contact her in a week or so.
But anyway this is not what I'm asking.
I still can't figure out why she gave me the LJBF speech at the firts place. I never acted needy, seeking approval, over calling, over texting, jealous etc.(comparing to past experiences, where one of those was the case for breaking up - now I'm more wise so to speak due to that)
As far as I can see in my mind there are few options for the reason why.
1) She didn't felt enough attraction at first at all, and the element of she chasing me was kind of missing. She said on several occasions that I'm too cheeky and pushy. (while from my POV I was just escalating). But I guess yes, she didn't had the opportunity to chase me.
2) didn't had enough comfort level - she didn't felt she can trust me and just wanted to brush me off with LJBF (but if thats so, why she contacts me to wish me Merry Christmas)
3) her past impression about me (just regular friends) somehow kicked in and she rationalized, that it is better for her not to engage with me. - I personally think this is the biggest reason or #1.
IMO she likes to play it all that intendant strong girl with slightly high ego (maybe because she was hurt in the past from a relationship). However she is not bitchy and super ego boosted, although i don't want to idealize
her - she has flaws as most people do. But something tells me that it is not very masculine and mature to change chicks one after another all the time. ( I think I already past that period).
So what I want from her you might ask - well I'm clear now what I want. I want her to be genuine friend with me, but not just some superficial friendship. I would be happy if we are in intimate relationship, however I'll not die if we are not,(I'm NOT needy about her), as long as I know I can trust her and she can trust me.
I don't really want to play PU games with her. Better I let things be completely natural.
My policy is that I'll still meet and date other women, and once in a while will try to ask her out or come in my place or me go in her place.
What do you think about it? Did I did something wrong and if yes, what? What did I do right?
what is something that I don't see?
