Cheers for the reply weznut. Very informative! Yeah i pussied out big time, but i guess you live and learn. To clarify, i didn't pull H up on what she were doing, pulled my mate up! I was casual and danced with H no problems even after. As if i didnt care...Which after sobering up...I didn't care about!
Anyways, i have a little update for you...
So i left it, didn't text or call L. A couple of days after the night out she texts me during the day...
L: Hey. So i'm sorry i wasn't the nicest person saturday night...I definitely paid for it yesterday. How were you feeling yesterday?
I replied with a casual:
En1gma: Hey hey, am glad i wasn't the only one feeling it. I was pretty much a vegetable, was a good day! Had to drive as well which were interesting blah blah blah...
I didn't reply to her saying she wasn't the nicest person. I didn't even awknowledge it and just carried on with other conversations.
We talked throughout the day until the early hours of the morning (Til about 2am) via text. Was a good sign i guess.
Now i guess my next question would be where do I take it now? Do i act as a friend toward her, how i usually act toward her. Or do i let her know am still interested? Do i bring up other girls am interested in on occasions when we chat? What would you guys do?
First bold sentence -> Good
Second bold sentence -> Bad
This is in-congruent. When you didn't initiate contact you showed strength and value, this can intrigue her and make her a little less sure that 'you aren't her type', moreover you not chasing her shows that there might be other women with more good sense than her in your realm already, so she reaches out. You don't take the bait to soothe her feelings of insecurity, this is great, you communicate that you have options (you're not cut up about her rejecting you, so you must have an OK situation within your own world) by not taking the first opportunity to supplicate yourself to her with some lame response forgiving her. You walked the fine line between not being bitter (you were friendly and positive in your reply) that she basically rejected you, and not being a doormat.
Then you talk to her via text till 2am? You know what kind of guys text till 2am with girls that haven't invested in him? The kind that have no options. Let me ask you something about the text convo that went on so late, ignoring the fact that even having it lowers her perception of your value for a moment:
Was that conversation exciting for the both of you? Did you surprise her? Challenge her? Qualify her? Was she investing in the conversation or were you just happy to have exchange with her?
Looks to me like you made her curious with the freeze out, and then confirmed her subconscious suspicion that you have limited options.
How should you play it? I say move on to the next 50 women with more good sense that are just waiting to meet and be attracted to you. Get things rocking in your life so you don't have the time or inclination to txt with someone who dropped you till the wee hours of the morning (I don't know, maybe because you're having wild passionate sex with someone hotter and smart enough to know that you should be her type, because you're fucking awesome). I don't mean be a dick to her, but certainly don't extend yourself anymore than you would for a friend, and even that might be a stretch. That is, be warm and generous, the same way a positive, confident person is with anyone who has the good fortune of being in their sphere, and let her do the investing before you do anything more than that. Go out and live your life bro, you're walking the path to fulfillment and success, so don't sweat this. Oh and another thing:
"I'm attracted to someone... someone who looks like you"
"I know that guy, he's a great kisser" -> Caveman
Don't apologize for your desires, don't be afraid to lose the girl, love your life and celebrate in it every day.
Good luck dude
