Very short version. Colleague who got my number from her friend texted me her number. It was obvious she was interested in meeting me, etc. It was always two steps forward, one step back like she was playing hard to get. If I thought she wasn't interested and backed off, she would come engage me again using her friend to come over start a conversation first, then she herself would come join it and her friend would immediately leave us alone. We eventually went on a date, two steps forward, one step back. The first time I had asked her to join me for happy hour she told me she would let me know then the day and time of happy hour I had suggested she texted me asking if I was still going to happy hour. I told her I had already left for the day. She said she had too (then why did she ask me?? lol). So I backed on and she came and engaged me again at my desk. Using her friend to do it. I asked her out again, she agreed. Then she cancelled the morning of citing how she was so busy at work. Third time I EASILY got the date with her. She even told me what days she was running family errands and that she would be free Saturday...So we finally go out...
On the date she was flirty and there was a lot of kino/touching, but she also seemed distracted, texting her cousin halfway through almost constantly. I called her on it, and started to leave when the activity was up anyways. She apologized outside later. Then 20 minutes after the date she texted me that she had a great time. I had paid for the date by the way, that seems to be the norm everyone agrees, even the gurus. Anyways, I took this text as a sign of HI and suggested she cook us dinner at her place (I live far away from her, etc.). She agreed.
We talked about the dinner a bit once more a week later, she said she had not gotten a menu or food yet, I teased her. She said she had been busy and that she started exercising and taking English classes. So I joked how I can help her get some exercise and I would teach her English if she taught me her language. She laughed and asked what kind of excercise.
Now the part I think I messed up. I suggested we watch a movie (I meant a redbox movie, like at her place, but wasn't clear). She asked what kind of movie. I told her she'll like it, not to worry, and that she should let me know otherwise I'll make other plans. Boom, all of a sudden a girl who always texted me almost within an hour or minutes didn't text me for 3 days. I reach out again clarifying that I was talking about hanging with my friends (I was really talking about other women I'm dating hoping it would increase her interest and get her to say yes) and that I want to get to know her better. Next text, we should be friends, have fun with your buddies, etc.
I think that jealousy tactic is where I lost her. I didn't text her anymore than once every 3-5 days usually. I didn't compliment her. I used the usual C&cky comedy stuff on her and she LOVED all that. So is this likely where I lost her? Some have told me yes, very likely.
So other than NOT having used the jealousy tactic on her, is there ANYTHING I should have done differently? Been direct that she seems too unavailable and walked away and let her come to me? What?
