Hi, everyone
I wonder if you guys can put me straight on this. I have a pretty strong feeling that I have blown it or very close to it... can I get out of the hole I dug myself into?
Anyway, first the background: met this woman, she was very much into me from the beginning, displayed interest writ large... asked her "Are you trying to seduce me?" she said yes - next day we kissed, anyway to cut a long story short we met afterwards, did the biblical deed, hang out, got very much into each other, did the biblical deed a few more times, including on short trip abroad etc etc. My approach was reasonably ****y and funny, took the piss, in a gentle way etc.
She started saying a lot of things that indicated high level of interest, (she wants to go away with me, how sexy I am, how much I know how to make her feel amazing), all good things and ego boosting.
I think this unhinged me a bit.
The turning point: I got arrogant and careless, started to listen to the words and not to the actions.
Consequence: I told her how much I like her, started talking about "going out" together - I squirm in shame now, but this is it...
Result: she rejected some other travel suggestions that I made, and five days ago flaked out of a dinner date (we live in different towns, about 1 hr travel time) the day before, offered some alternative, but I was too angry at her flaking out to take her up on the weak-ish alternative. Last word I said was to text me the days she's free, and we'll take it from there.
An hour after the phone conversation she texted me a message about the passion she feels for me etc - made me angry somehow, as by then I had started to say to myself: always the actions.
This was the last communication, about five days ago. I had realized that something had gone awry, and I didn't call or write or anything, however tempting that has been in the meantime.
Anyway, the question is: can I dig myself out of the hole? and if so which is the best way?
gratefully yours
