Oneitis/finding out what went wrong
Since I have holiday since monday, I had a lot of free time, which is not necesarrily good, because it gave me time to overthink stuff and I feel my oneitis for Merry coming back, it was gone after I was with that girl in the cottage. Still it isn't as strong as it used to but it is bothering me.
One positive thing is that I probably finally found the breaking point when it all went downhill. It happened much sooner than I thought, we continued going out together for a month after that but when I think about it she wasn't as passionate after that point as she used to be.
The thing happened a week after our first date, though we've been on four dates already by that time, that was basically our fifth date, about 3 weeks after I approached her. There was again a disco at the same place where I met her, we both knew we will be there. I'd say the night went really good, though we had a minor fight or how to call it. She came back to me, asked me to go dancing with her. I didn't really felt like dancing so I just went inside with her and talked a bit with her brother.
He then said to me that she likes me. She then came to me after a while and asked me what has her brother said, and I said that he said she likes me. After a couple of seconds she went to him and told him something. Then I went to her and danced with her, after a while she took my hand, dragged me on a balcony where we sat and made out for a good while. She then had to go home so I walked her to her house. Made out with her for a while again, said goodbye and left.
When I was in a bus she sent me a text message, something like:
"Hi, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you longer but I really had to go home. I really like you
(probably). Good night"
Of course at that time it didn't occur to me that it was a sh!t test. My reply was:
"Probably? It's ok, I almost missed the bus. Good night"
She wrote to me back:
"Well, I'd tell you for sure but I don't know how you feel about me."
At this point I just assumed she was kind of afraid to tell me how she feels because her ex BF cheated on her.
My response was just:
"I'll tell you personally when we see eachother
"
And that was still fine I'd say but I AFCed out completely next time we met. She didn't bring it up, and I should let it go, but as dumb as I was back then I brought it up, expected her to tell me she really likes me for sure. :crazy: So I told her I do like her. Her immidiate response to that was just:
"That's surprising." with ironic tone.
I think this was the breaking point, maybe it could've been fixed after if I'd play it really well, but I didn't. I'm glad though that I have finally figured this out, because now I can really learn something from it.
