Hey guys, have come across a situation that has me just a little perplexed, and was wondering what advice some of you may have.

Met this girl about two months ago. I'm 34, though told i look 26-27, most girls have rated me a 8.5-9. Shes a senior in college and 23. We started hanging out and have basically gotten along just as well as you could possibly ask for. Started having sex pretty quickly, go out about 1-2 times a week, never argue, laugh all the time, and a few weeks ago went to the Bahamas together. She pays at least half of her way when we go out including our trip. By the way she called the trip her best vacation shes ever had.

We've kept it pretty low key, and havent discussed alot about a relationship other than in general terms, although I do know the age factor, while not huge, does concern her some. We have hung out twice since we got back, had a great times of coarse, but yesterday for the first time she backed out on a date. We were going to hang out after the game, but she called and said she couldnt because I guess a friend of hers who she used to go to school with showed up unexpectedly at school for the tailgate and she said when we go out, its usually just us spending all our time together, and she wanted to spend some time with her. I of coarse played it cool and said no biggie, some other time. The only reason this concerns me a little is because I sense that I am slightly more concerned about the relationship than she is from previous converstaions, maybe 60/40. I do notice that whenever i pullback a little, she comes running quickly, but when i start to show more affection than normal, she seems to withdrawl some.
For example, the other day we were at crowded club, and i dissapeared for like 5 minutes to go the bathroom and just walk around by myself for a bit, she called 6 times in that times worried I had left her and was pretty frantic about it lol.

Now we just saw each other two days ago, so its not like we havent been hanging out lately, but I guess what Im asking is what do i do to change the power or IL in the relationship from her being in control 60/40 to me being that way? Pullback, dont be as available for dates or phone calls for a bit? I dont really get the sense that she withdrawls slightly to play games, but from what I know of her she seems a little uncomfortable with too much affection or physical contact. In fact she told me shes been that way with every bf shes ever had. In fact shes had 3 major bf's and has never introduced any of them to her family. So she definetly has some issues in that regard. I sense that she does have fairly high IL in me, but whenever i start to show to much IL, she withdrawals some.

How do I change that, and what specifically do i do to help her "realize" that I am the greatest guy she could ever imagine being with and give me more control in the relationship. By the way, i would have no problem in taking this relationship to the next level, and she has hinted around to it, but at the same time I sense she is pretty comfortable in just "hanging" out rght now.

TIA guys

By the way I guess I should say I know why she broke the date. At least its my best guess. I have let her know is not specific words but in a backhanded way that I think she is definetly LTR material, and I could see myself having one with her. So she knows pretty much where I stand in that regard. I think she feels like she can break a date (and really, the breaking of the date in itself isnt a big thing to me, we've all done it, and if she wants to see a longtime friend, more power to her), but I think she feels like she can break the date because she KNOWS my feelings for her, and that something like that isnt going to cause me to break up with her.

But its that along with some other things that lead me to believe that if I dont change things soo, in the long run this will only lead to me getting heart broke, so I feel like I have to change how this is heading now.

Any advice?

I feel as though you like this girl a little more than she likes you. This imbalance of interest has given her a bit of power over you. I think you answered your question. She shouldn't be the priority in your life. Date other women, have other things going. Give her the feeling that she's replaceable. You don't need her to realize anything about you. Don't convince her that your the greatest guy.

I am kind of coming to that same conclusion Huu. Not saying she doesn't have fairly high IL in me, we actually knew each other from long ago and she stated that she has always had a crush on me, but I think she can sense that my IL is higher that hers slightly right now.

My main question is how do I pullback some and make her come after me and scare her a little into thinking Im not TOTALLY into her, while at the same time not look like I'm playing some kind of game with her?

She just called and left a message saying she was wondering how I was doing. Should I call back tonight or make her sweat a while?

TIA

Fellow DJs.. we have here an AFC who is going to mess up this potential relationship. But then again, that 10 year difference is fukked up. I hate older guys like you jocking girls around my age.
