Well, my dinner date at my place tonight ended early. Was our fifth date in 1 month.
Recap:
We had dinner, usual laughing and joking banter, few kisses mixed in.
Ten minutes after dinner she tells me she has something to talk about.
On her work trip two weeks ago, her boss offered her a promotion, for which she would be moving out of state for within 6-12 months.
She said she really likes me, but doesn’t want to get emotionally involved because she worries it wouldn’t end well with her moving.
She basically was saying we can’t see one another anymore because of it.
I didn’t press it. I congratulated her for the job and acted happy for her, even though I knew what it meant.
She talked about it not being good for us trying to be friends since we already have been sexual. I agreed and said I don’t want to be friends anyhow.
We briefly talked it over, I reassured her it wasn’t a big deal since I’m not her boyfriend at it was only our fifth date.
When she left, she offered a handshake or a hug - I declined both and said “this isn’t a business meeting, ya know” with a smirk, and she gave me a kiss instead. I told her if it doesn’t work out and she stays in town, she has my number to call me.
As she left, I jokingly said “call me” and that was it.
Honestly a little bummed, and I really don’t believe I overpursued her at all. I never blew up her phone between dates and used the phone to arrange seeing her. We saw each other once per week for one month
I respect she wanted to talk in person, but I can’t help but feel if she actually really likes me, she wouldn’t end it so suddenly - perhaps I am wrong. Doesn’t matter now - looking ahead and trying to get some plates going with OLD and planning to interact with more women out in the real world on a day to day basis.
I know it’s time to get to spinning plates as usual, and the girl I saw last week is meeting me for drinks again Saturday. Some definite plate potential there...
Just wondering if you anyone has any closing thoughts/advice/pick me ups to give me, as I’m pretty bummed about it, but I’ll live. She was great, but wore too much makeup to cover her blemishes/acne/whatever she was trying to hide.
