My first post on this forum, I couldn't get over how good the advice and content on this forum is, it really is top notch! so I had to post my own question and see what you guys thought.
Anyway, here goes, long story, so I met this girl at the gym I work at, she was a 9/10 and we hit it off the minute we started chatting. Seemed to have a lot in common and I asked her out for a coffee despite the fact it was work and she said 'yes we can!'. After getting her number, I text her and set up a date and played it cool by not contacting her again other than to set up the time. Well, from the next day onwards, she seemed to then do most of the running. She contacted me and began texting me non stop. We met on Tuesday, it was amazing and she said she had a great time, she then texts me all Tuesday night and asks me if I want coffee on Wednesday so we meet again and it's great, I ask her out for lunch on Friday and shes really keen on the idea and then the next day suggests we should go to the cinema that evening, again I say yes and can't believe my luck, it all feels so easy!
Anyway, we meet on Friday afternoon, go for ANOTHER coffee, this is where I got complacent, we were getting on so well, I decided to get more physical, I start kissing her on the lips and she responds mutually this carries on all day in the end. We go to the Cinema, lots of kissing and fondling going on we get back to her car more kissing and fondling going on. She even expresses her enjoyment of it and says she wishes we were in bed right then. Basically we are acting as if we are BF and GF already. I get home and she texts me first, it was still going really well.
Saturday, I text her in the morning and she seems her usual self, in the evening I notice she seems a bit different via text and for some reason stupidly then decide to ask her out again, assuming it won't be a problem. She then makes an excuse about why she can't make Monday and I then suggest Tuesday and she says 'sounds great!'. Next day, I text her and shes immediately cold now, just give me a couple of responses, I stupidly then try to text her a couple more times. (Yes I know! Really weak of me!)
She then texts me on Monday morning telling me 'we are moving too fast, I am not used to all those kisses all the time and I am not ready for a relationship right now, I have other priorities right now with moving flat and job hunting, it's not a bad thing, just I don't know you and we already feel like we are in a relationship!. She also sent a photo of her new hair to me following this and seemed to be seeking my approval of it which seemed strange.
I respond by telling her that 'I agree maybe we are moving too fast and maybe I was a bit over the top the other night, I'm not looking for a huge relationship myself as I have just had a big career change, but I am really enjoying spending time with you and enjoy your company, I hope that clears up where I am coming from! And by the way, the hair looks good!'
I don't hear from her again following that last text, so I leave it a couple of days and text her yesterday just asking her how she is. She responded really enthusiastically and immediately which I was suprised by and text me for about 20 minutes before she went to work, within this time she sent me another photo of herself taken that day. Anyway, I am leaving it again now until she contacts me again, I'm not really sure what to make of all this, I know I have made some amateur mistakes but am trying to claw back my pride at the moment by giving her space and not bombarding her. My game was really strong in the beginning and she couldn't seem to leave me alone, I seem to have killed it though potentially by being over physical.
If anyone can give me their take on this?
Sorry for the essay!
