So I was studying in a lecture theatre at night some weeks to my exams and this girl was there. I waited till it was obvious she was tired of reading before I approached her. She seemed so into me and we had a good conversation. I got her number.
We went on a date a few weeks later(delayed by exams), had a good time. She said she wanted drinks only and refused the food.
We were communicating poorly due to exams, she texts me once in a while . I tried to see her during her tests but it didn't work out. She had tests but she counter offered
Then I got busy with my exams, when I was done, she still had exams.
After she finished her exams, she texted me about her birthday a day before saying she didn't know how to celebrate it and that she was out of ideas. I get she probably wanted me to ask her out but I didn't because I was going out with friends and we already paid for it.
I ask her to meet the next week and we agreed to see on a Sunday evening. I got there and she doesn't show up. I shoot her a text on WhatsApp "hey, are you still coming". She was offline and I left anyways.(I don't know if this is connected to her birthday) Later that night, she says she was far away from our venue at that time and that she should have told me earlier.
I read her text and got pissed off by it and I reply her with "OK"
Holidays came and I left school on the next Saturday without seeing her. I didn't bother to contact her
Do you think I over reacted? I like this girl and how we get along, we won't see physically till a month or a month and a half.
What am I doing wrong here, how do I step it up. Should I keep texting once in a while or start calling her till we can meet again
PS: We are on different campuses. I'm a medic, she's in arts. This, the exams plus COVID19 made meeting up complicated
You seem young so you are still learning. First, good job in walking up to her and asking her out, most guys cannot even do that so kudos.
Things to keep in mind in the initial phases of dating:
- respect: she should respect you and your time all the time otherwise she is gone
- be willing to walk away: always be willing to walk away if she isnt on your program
- indifference: be indifferent to her, you are glad to go on a date, also you are glad to not go on a date with her.
- keep your emotions in check: always remain centered when dealing with people especially girls.
Your job on a date is to weed out low value women because as a man you have high value. If you don't have value work on yourself physically, mentally, and financially.
Whenever a guy goes on a date and the girl starts acting up he always questions himself like you did: what did I do wrong?
Here is the answer, you did nothing wrong to cause her to not show up on the date from what you told us. You did your job by asking her on a date and having fun on a date. You proceeded to ask her out again in which she did not show or even contact you prior to cancel. She is likely a narcissistic low value women that you do not want anyways and she disqualified herself from being in your life. When she responded in the evening I would not have even replied with an OK because how disrespectful she was.
Let some other loser deal with her and go find yourself a winner.
