A few months ago, I met a beautiful girl through mutual friends while I was still at university. We hung out a few times at parties and got closer each time. During the last encounter, she sat next to me, held onto my forearm, and didn’t let me talk to anyone else at the table. She asked a lot of personal questions, including whether I was seeing anyone, and even made plans for what we should do together since I was moving back home and then relocating to another country for work reasons. I never had a woman act this way with me while at a social event.
Afterward, I messaged the girl who introduced us, asking if her friend was always this forward and communicative. She said she had never seen her act this way with anyone else and encouraged me to message her and set up a date. So, we started texting, and she was very responsive—showering me with compliments, sending voice messages, pictures, and so on. However, since my hometown is hours away from where she lives and works, I was hesitant to make the trip unless I was sure it wouldn’t be a waste of time.
After a few days of texting, I suggested a date, and she immediately agreed. In hindsight, I probably should have left it there, but I kept messaging her to keep the momentum going—which, of course, had the opposite effect. A few days later, she mentioned she was on a business trip and might not make it back in time for our date, but she’d let me know.
The day of the date came, and I got stood up. I waited at the bar for 20 minutes, no messages on my phone. It was pretty clear that I had messed up, so I decided to forget about it and just went about my business as usual. But today, five days later, she sent me a long message, apologizing profusely for forgetting to tell me she couldn’t make it and explaining how busy she had been.
I’m thinking of just replying with a simple “It’s okay, it happens bla bla” and seeing how she responds. What do you think of this situation, and what would you do?
