Question for the ladies: Was she really not feeling chemistry, or was it something I did?
A woman whose attention I caught on a dating website, "winked" at me and we talkedo n the phone a few times.
We did go out last weekend. We met in the city. She called me the night before to see that we were still on that night. That was a tell tale sign I knew she was interested.
Usually it’;d be me who’d call to square things away…..
on the date, I noticed she hadn’t touched her food. I knew she had to be nervous, but she just seemed relaxed.
She told me to use her fork if I wanted some of hers.
She knew I liked heels (on women). She asked me about it, (it was on my profile, I forgot) and we talked about it, and told her how I liked how they looked, they reflected confidence on the woman’s part, whatever–it was truthful. She said she liked that explanation, it was well said. So we went to another place to play pool, but it was all reserved, so we went to the bar. Now things got a little more interesting.
We were close up near one another, and at one point, I took the risk of placing my hand on her knee. She didn’t seem one bit uncomfortable with it, as she treated it as nothing was happening. So I placed it there for like 10 seconds. Then a couple minutes later I did it again. Before she went to the rest room, she had a big string of hair dangling from her face, never usually did when I had saw her, I used an old college flirt move–I used my finger and placed it gently above her ear.
She asked me more about me, I did the same. The convo picked up more.
We took the train together back to our cars. hers was a stop before mine. Before boarding, after talking a bit we moved closer next to one another..then I kissed her, and it turned to making out.
Then we stopped, I pulled away and we talked. A minute or two later, I told her I liked boots too, she said "good" and we made out again…..
we cuddled for a bit and I asked her if she’d like to have dinner with me before her trip to Ireland (a week and a half later) and she told me we could talk about it on the phone during the week, that she’d have to get back to me.
We sat on the train, she was on the opposite side sitting because we only had seats for ourselves. The fact that when the train cleared, she moved over immediately to the one next to me was very nice.
So her asking if we were still on, the seat moving thing, and the fact I got her number so quickly were all signs she was interested. Plus we kissed. That was a risk to do that in the first place for a first date.
I thought it felt right, it really did.
So she left, she placed her hand on my knee and said it was nice meeting me and kissed me goodbye.
I told her I’d call her.
Like 4 days later I called, left a casual message.
I said I had a good time, on the date she said she did too.
But she stared in space when she said it. I did say it once earlier in the evening (to my chagrin) and she said "good".
I dunno. So anyways, she emailed me last night……
and she said "Hey, what’s going on? It was ncie meeting you last week. You seem like a genuinely good person, but I am not interested in pursuing things further at this point. I don’t see a "click here’
Good luck,
and I was dumbfounded. Ok, so she rejected me. But it was just a nonchalant email.
Then I wondered what I did wrong.
You didn’t do anything wrong. She just wasn’t feeling a spark…
Move on…
