Sorry for the length of this:

I've been seeing this 20 year old HB8 for about a month now. I call her once or twice a week to set up something to do, with the phone convo never lasting more than 5 minutes. When we hang out, we have lots of fun and the night usually ends in a heated make out session. She is in college and she's always telling me how she loves to go out to the parties and have fun with her friends, she jokingly considers herself a party girl. She is a virgin (she comes from a strict family and religion) and really has good values, like she said she never hooks up with guys randomly and doesnt kiss guys unless she really likes them or they are exclusive only to each other. She likes to take it slow, so she isnt your every day party girl. She is definitely LTR material.

Here's the problem. A couple of times, i've called her up and said "come with me to this party tonight". And both times she said she was tired and didnt want to go. I know I asked her on short notice but if she really had a high IL, she wouldve gone anyway, just to be with me. Last Friday, I gave her a call at around 5:00 PM just to say whats up because i didnt talk to her in a while. When i called, i got no answer so i expected a phone call back some time that day. Well she never called me back until the next day when she sent me a text message apologizing for not returning my call because she was busy and that she will call me later. I was pissed off bc she always calls me back the same day and also because she's turned down opportunities to hang out with me at those parties, so i didnt pickup the phone when she called. I called her back on Sunday and I said lets do something this week, she always wanted to see the movie Gothika so i said lets go this week, she happily said yes so i said i'll give her a call in a couple of days and let her know when i could go.

So on Tuesday, i called her and said lets go Wednesday night and she said ok but she was going to a basketball game at another local college but she said if its done early, we can go after the game. I told her to let me know. So Wednesday comes and she sends me a text message saying "sorry cant make it tonite, i'll call you as soon as i get out of the game. After i got this text message, i made plans with my buddies and went out. I wasnt really paying attention to my phone because i was having a good time, so its about 1 in the morning and i look at my phone and i didnt get a call from her. It pissed me off because this is the 2nd time this has happened and there are signs of possible disinterest.

I can 100% guarantee she will send me a text message or call me today, apologizing for not calling me back. Would you dj's NEXT her and move on or do you think i'm overreacting here. I dont want to accept the apology and let her get away with it because then she'll know she can do anything and i'll come back. What would you guys do to set her straight without looking AFC. If she texts me, i was thinking about responding with something like, " stop apologizing, i dont really want to hear it. gotta go". Do you guys have any suggestions??? Should i ignore her calls and text messages for a while??? Should I talk to her and tell her why i'm pissed off?? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, let her worry about where you are for a change. You don't have to ignore her completely but pull back heavily and let her try to pin you down to go out with her, because at the moment it seems like its you thats doing all the chasing.

The thing is, she is very old fashioned in the sense that she thinks guys should do all the calling, setting up dates, and all the chasing, etc. She told me this the first night i met her and feels very strongly about it.

And you can still do some calling, just a lot less of it.

Also, she may be LTR material based on her values, etc., which are all good things, but if her IL is high enough, she will bend her rules on who pursues to some extent (in fact, it may be important that you get her to bend her rules -- if she gets to where she says to herself [or you] that she usually wouldn't do x,y,z, you're golden).

Thanks for the input. In the month or so i've been seeing her, we've hung out 4 times (usually once a week). The phone calls are infrequent (twice a week)so its not like i'm calling her every day. I have gotten her to bend her rules somewhat. the second night we hung out, we started making out in the car and she said "oh my god i never do this so soon, but i feel comfortable around you". So I think the IL is definitley there but she's pissing me off with her actions these past couple of weeks. So when she sends me a text message or calls me to apologize, i should just ignore it and call her back some time next week? Or do you guys think I'm overreacting and should just act as if nothing happened and continue the way its been going? Any more help would be appreciated
 

If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.

I was right, she sent me a text message apologizing, which read: "so sorry for not calling u back last night, after the game we went to a party on campus. I'll call u today". I'm not going to answer he call when she calls later. I think i'm going to lay low for a while and see what happens. Any opinions??

I would just skip that call, too and see if she leaves a voicemail. Wait to call her back too.

Ok, I can accept this to a certain extent... but as a hard and fast rule, this is cr@p! It would be all well and good if you were getting a better success ratio for all your calling and chasing, but you're not. Force her to bend this rule as well by not chasing her so much.

Personally I start to get annoyed when the phone bill comes in and I don't have anything to show for it except hollow promises and conversations. No more! I make women call me now at least 50% of the time.

You have been doing alot of calling and chasing (Time to lay back and chill). Dont answer her calls for the next two days !!!

This will sure make her think and *hopefuly* realize her mistakes :cool:

man, why are u stressing? You haven't even fvcked her yet
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

I've learned that watching all the little details just stresses you out in the end.

I'm "dating" this girl that I think has a high IL. I'm not going to sit here and explain how I know she does.

Well I called her yesterday at night to setup a date on Saturday. Well she didnt answer. Big deal.

I saw her at school and she approached me. Didnt say anything about me calling and I for sure wasnt going to mention it. She gave good kino signs and I planted the seed to do something Friday. No big deal, no need to stress and NEXT her.

Take everything with stride.
