There's this girl I've been dating for a little over a month now. I'd say she's around a 8. She's really into me and I believe I've successfully gamed her enough where it appears she's the one "chasing me". She usually initiates the calls/texts everyday and asks me to hang out with her more often than I do. She does act up a lot, in which I punish her with indifference or threats of me just walking out the door (doing this works everytime and makes her like me a lot more). Last week, she gave me the worst attitude ever and I refused to answer any of her calls/texts all day, until around 4am when I decided to pick up the phone after about 20+ missed calls. She was crying and really apologetic about what she did so I finally just let it slide. Point is, based on her actions I know she has deep into me.
This past weekend she ended up taking a trip with her family out of town. On saturday night she kept on texting me asking where I was and who I was with (she always suspects I'm talking/hanging out with a lot of other girls and hates when I'm on my phone around her). I gave her some vague responses and told her I'd text her the next day. Fast forward 2 days and she didn't respond to any of my texts or calls since that saturday night.
I eventually left her a fb message saying that I dont appreciate being ignored and her sudden disappearance makes me assume that she's with another guy, so I told her I was done. She texts me immediately saying:
"I've been thinking for days.. I'm scared. I don't think I can do this. I like you so much that it scares me. Super scared. Good luck with everything. Take care."
I respond with: "if that's what u want, ok. tc"
Her: "Let's be friends though? And I know I'm not the only one. You're entertaining other girls. So this is better. I'm scared to get hurt. Cant handle things like that. Let's be friends?"
Me: "ah so its a trust issue. after all this time I don't know why u dont trust me, but then again I can't force u"
Her: "I cant force myself too. I dont want to be paranoid everytime were not together. Friends?????"
Me: "why are u always paranoid"
...she doesn't text me back after that. She says she's into me but she's also letting me go in a way. And I hate this friendzone bullshit she's trying to put on me.
I got a little paranoid myself the past couple days because I thought that maybe I had tindered with one of her friends, or maybe one of her friends saw me with another girl at the mall when I went to watch a movie. If ever she was to bring up anything like that I would have downplayed it or denied anyway, but I don't think that's the case since she hasn't brought it up..
I've tried keeping my mind off her by going out with a girl off tinder yesterday (got the bang), and even talked to a couple of other girls on the phone earlier tonight but she just wont get off my mind. I'm not going to lie, I do have feelings for this girl and was kind of hoping for her to stick around a little longer. I thought I kept a pretty good job of caring less than she did but once started disappeared on me I feel like the tables turned.
I feel like I've been too alpha the whole time and maybe I should go a little beta on her? Is she shit testing me? Should I not have sent that fb message? Should I just ignore her from now on? I usually would know what to do in these situations, but I'm honestly so blinded by emotion I can't even think straight right now. I'd appreciate if you guys can offer some insight or any advice. I'm already getting in the mind set that I lost her and ready to move on, but what kills me is that I don't where I fucked up and hell no am I going to ask her that lol
