Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forums and looking forward to being more involved because I love this forum's emphasis on inner game and self-improvement.
Quick background: I broke up with my ex of three years around a year ago and found myself in a position where I had lost contact with my friends and had no real goals in life. Since then I've been working on improving myself through pursuing a career, reconnecting with old friends, and going to parties.
This also means that I've started meeting women and have begun to notice a big snag in my game. It'll be easier to explain if I give an example:
There's a foreign girl from India in one of my classes who hangs out with this other guy and I never talked to until earlier in October when I was waiting on line and recognized her from class.
After that she still sits with this guy, but waits up for me after class and starts to join me and my friend on our commute home which is more out of the way for her. Adding on she seems interested, tells me about how guys like to be sexually harassed, starts giving me a nickname, I bust her balls for fun, and she starts calling me an ******* while smiling(always a good sign).
Then this week she did a complete 180 and doesn't even bother to say hi to me, she just leaves with this guy and I'm thinking she's in to him.
So then the question I'm left is why this sudden change? Was she never interested? Or maybe I came off as too aloof and that killed her interest?
There are plenty of women out there so I'm not hung up if I blew it with her, but I've been in basically the same situation for the past year with other women (without a guy) and I have no idea where I'm going wrong or how to overcome this hurdle so it doesn't affect me going forward.
Appreciate any help. I know this is a long-ish post.
