I am fascinated by this forum, its amazing to see how men process some of the things that we do, that we don't even know that we are doing (well for the most part sometimes more often than not it is intentional, i confess)
So here is the bizarre story: My friend set me up on a blind date with this rich successful guy. We were supposed to meet and he never pursued getting my number so I forgot about it. Two months later she calls me and tells me that he wants my number. At this point i had given up on meeting him and actually i was quite annoyed that he waited two months to meet me. Two days later he calls me and we decide to meet, i have no idea where we are going he calls me at one and tells me we are meeting at six, okay then. I show up and i have no clue what the heck he looks like but he saw pictures of me. He was good looking at 45 (i am 37). Anyway we have an intense conversation for three hours about all kinds of personal things. At the end of the date he goes to shake my hand to say "it was nice to meet you". Okay in my history of dating i have NEVER had a guy shake my hand at the end of a date and actually it annoyed me because that is something you do at a business meeting. Anyway i leaned in and gave him a half of a hug.
So i left more confused as ever since he was hard to read and thought "well i guess he did not like me or we don't click". So I get a text about an hour later that said "It was great to meet you, and thank you for a great time, and if we do go out again, i promise not to be so tired". I was surprised and texted back "It was also nice to meet you and i was tired from work also and i would like to see you again if you are open to that" and he responds "yes i am and hopefully we can get together soon".
He tells my friend that he "didn't expect me to be that beautiful" Ok so a week goes by nothing no call, and my friend is yapping in my ear did he call yet? I was just going to let it go but with all the pressure finally i decided to text him about a week and a half after we met. He said he was just thinking about me and that we should get together soon,, as in the next day. Okay then!
The next day he picks me up and stares at me and tells me "I forgot how beautiful you are" and next thing you know we are "stopping by his parent's house" for a moment which turned out to be an hour, parents loved me.
We had a good time he was incredibly nervous. When we got back to my place he asked to use the bathroom and next thing i knew he reached around and kissed me when i was not looking (not very smooth i should add).
I thought he had said we were going to do something that weekend, the weekend rolls around and no call about plans so i text him and he said he is busy working on some bid so i said ok -maybe i just misunderstood, the next day he texts and sets something up for us to do on Wed. He shows up and we head to a restaurant to meet his friends. I have a drink and I am all over him kissing him and he is loving it. We stop by his house on the way back and he starts in on spending the night etc and i told him i did not feel comfortable with him yet. i don't know why the hell i changed my mind i guess i was like what the hell i am 37 lets live life so we got out of the car and headed upstairs...
So he asks me to go away with him for the weekend with his family and then changes his mind. The next thing he is texting me all day and said he is going to leave in the morning and drive straight to my house from nyc and do i want go down to nyc the next weekend with him. I say yes not thinking he was being serious. Well he literally leaves at three am in the morning from nyc and texts me to say he is an hour from my house wtf, i said okay how about if i come to your house, i get there and i am all freaked out and overwhelmed with all of the attention and he gets annoyed because i am not excited to see him...not the case at all.
The next week rolls around and on Wed we play tennis and go over to his parents house and all of that. So he asks about the weekend and i told him there was this party i really wanted to go to badly and he said seems annoyed but says no no go to the party. So i am the party and i get this text that he is at a bar in the town that i live in (he lives 25 mins away) and if i was around to meet him there, i said okay in 30 mins (i was 20mins away he did not know this) and then i get a text that says "Sorry doll we already left next time" Really you couldn't have waited twenty mins and you drive all the way to my town to have a drink? I think this is when the games started.
Now it gets interesting. The next day we had plans to see each other so I get a text in the morning how was the party? "Great it was nice to let loose for a change, text me when you are coming over or i can drive to meet you if its easier". No word for FIVE HOURS. I literally spent the whole day waiting to see what the heck we were doing but i refused to call. He called and said his daughter changed her mind and wanted to spend the night, i was so livid because he had no respect for my time.
The next week he cancelled on me wed and thursday and on friday i get a text he is on his way to my house at six in the morning? I tell him my daughter is with me at home. So later its a bike ride with his brother and gf and dinner with the family. Everything is great.
The next weekend i say lets go away together, no word at all from him all week about if we are going or not, so Friday i send him a good morning text and i get "if we are going away this weekend let me know where you want to go. We go to atlantic city, things seemed to go well.
I get a text on Wednesday do you want to do something that day, okay what the hell no advance notice....sure. We go out for dinner and have a terrible time. I hear that he was chasing after some girl about three weeks ago from my friend and i am pissed so i pretty much attack him and his dating history and i know he is not pleased with me however he does not know that i heard he was chasing after some girl. We get home and later he mentions that he thinks "I am nice".
No plans were made for the following week. On Monday afternoon I get a message "Lets have dinner" but i missed his call, i said "i miss you" he says "i miss you too" hopefully we can see each other this week. No phone call at all that week. i decide to wait and see if i do not text him at all to make plans if he would step up and make them. Nope nothing all of the week or weekend no call no text. So i send a text the following monday "are you mad at me" he responds hell no he was working up the courage to call me because he felt embarrassed for not calling me to do something and how he has been disconnected for the past two weeks and we can do whatever i want to do on that Wednesday.
He shows up with a bottle of wine for me looking all harried and crazy and we head to dinner. He said "he just didn't feel like doing anything that past weekend" He mentions that he feels so relaxed around me, I end up having too much to drink and at this point i am feeling insecure with the whole situation. i end up getting all emotional and say "i think i am in love with him, and how is that possible it has only been two months" he gave me a hug and said "he does feel intense love for me at times". So i asked him what he was looking for and he said "he wants to see where it goes" with us.
The next week rolls around and once again no setup to make plans so i text him again on Wednesday and he says yes lets do something that night. I get to his house and he seems happy and i guess i was not all over him as i usually am i was a little worried about what was going on between us so i was distracted and i put my guard up a little.
Well his mood changed I have no idea why and he made a point of telling me that he had to work that weekend so "he was not available" and we ended up going out with his friends which was disaster. There was some sort of tension between us and he was talking to some blonde chick. Its almost like we were around his friends and ignoring each other. i felt so uncomfortable. We went back to his place and i was so annoyed it took about an hour for me to chill out. He texted me that afternoon to say hello and on Saturday i got a good morning two hours later i respond "how is your bid coming along" he goes great and I said "good to hear"....and that was it. We have not spoken in a week and a half.
Seriously I have dated quite a few men in my time and this one is really bizarre.
I have never had a guy introduce me to his family and friends immediately, professes how beautiful i am everytime he sees me, enthralled by my ass etc. Calls last minute to make plans to do something, can never plan anything, doesn't ever call me but sends me business like texts here and there.
So my synapsis is that he is seeing other women or seeing a woman on and off or there is someone in the picture or he is just not interested in me. I am not a chaser by nature so if a guy does not call me i hate rejection so i don't call him i feel that if he wants to see me he will say something. If he doesn't then i just let it go, it hurts but its better than rejection. So i don't know if i was supposed to chase after him and show him attention? He is super rich and successful, maybe he is just used to women throwing themselves at him? I don't know i am successful in shape and attractive myself so i don't really need to throw myself at him, i simply like him.
So any thoughts? I am prepared to hear all of the things i don't want to hear.
