Don Juan
Met this girl back in January. We really clicked and had fun together, plus I was super attracted to her, but she was hot and cold, mixed messages, hard to read, etc.
She disappeared without explanation for a few weeks in March-April. Crawled back again and we danced around the idea of a relationship until she disappeared again in early June. For what it's worth, last time I saw her in June I made a comment about splitting the check she took the wrong way, but she texted later that night saying don't worry I'm over it. Don't know how much that had to do with it, but the following weeks she returned a call but ignored texts, so I quit reaching out. We saw each other maybe 20 times total.
We didn't talk all summer, then Monday afternoon she texts out of the blue. Sends a link to this nearby historic home for-sale, like we used to do. Said she was eager to see it and thought I'd enjoy it. We've had a rolling text convo, maybe a dozen texts over the last few days. I played it cool - aloof but not too standoffish. We joked about me buying that house and teaching her how to negotiate. Her last text was Tues night and said "Ok show me how!" which I replied Wed afternoon "Alright. Maybe we'll go see it". No reply yet- figures.
I probably should have offered an exact date, not "maybe we'll go see it", but didn't want to give the appearance of jumping right back in her arms.
Now I'm left wondering... what was her motivation for texting anyway? I assume to "reel me back in" or "see if I'm still on the hook". Do I reach out again in a few days with a more concrete answer or maintain radio silence until she contacts me?
