Pushing them away by being too unavailable
Has anyone ever found they've pushed a girl away by being too unavailable?
I was seeing someone recently who I ended up turning down for a few nights out (cos I was seeing someone else) after we were already going through the honeymoon phase. I think this kind of pushed her away a bit or ended up just pissing them off - ironic as I was just starting to really get to like her but her mind was already made up. Guess I shouldn't make that mistake again. Having typed yesterday that I don't usually get dumped, this is the first time in years and it's painful! Hopefully just for a few days. |

they then love the new found power wen u say "Hang on but i like u" they prefer to stay in control & thats the end of that! u learn shit over time. dont be distant, just dont be needy |

Anyway, I deleted her number, email, facebook, prob take a couple days to get over. The part that hurts is not being explained to I think - I hate this feeling of rejection. |
Get a hooker, she won't reject you..
But seriously.. You were probably too distant.. Playing it cool too much and she's an attention ho.... Why do you feel rejected? You don't need bitchez in your life to feel validated and awesome. You were fine before you met her, so don't let her have an impact on your feelings for long... it's all good.. it obviously wasn't the right time for you both.. |
Just treat them the same way you would a mate or acquiantance.
Text them when you can/feel like it, be honest with them when you're realistically available and be consistent with it. If you're busy on another date tell them, sorry I'm out with a friend. At the same time if you're sewing your oats you can't get upset because she went and did the same, I think it's unfair to do so. Girls do it to me all of the time so I don't get fussed unless they make a big fuss over it, at what point I cut contact... |

TBH it was a bit messy, I was seeing someone before but let's say it hadn't totally ended when I started seeing this new girl - that's why I was distant cos I was trying to manage both my ex's feelings and the new girl at the same time. I just find it ironic, she liked me while I was more unavailable but then when I told her I couldn't go out, she started feeling rejected & losing feelings for me just as mine were growing. Mistake made, lesson learned. I feel I've done the right thing by deleting all her contact details - should stop me from doing anything like drunk texting. Quote:
I think I just feel guilty because I can see I could have made things different and been more consistent but spoilt it because of neither managing my ex's feelings nor the new girl's feelings either. It just seems strange that she spent a lot of time with me in the last few days and then ended it. Perhaps she was giving it one last shot but I suppose once your feelings have gone because the other person let you down one too many times, then it's too late. |
Dude. You are seriously over analysing.
What do you mean about "managing feelings". WHAT? What is to manage? Your ex. Is your ex. For one (or many) reasons. Potentially your fault. Learn from it, but don't dwell. New girl. You like her. She liked you. You obviously didn't show enough investment to suit her needs. Take from it what you will. Learn from it. Move on. Why don't you just ASK her? Stop blaming yourself for everything, women are complex. The more you try to understand them, the harder it becomes. Just focus on yourself and let things fall into place. Also look at the diagram I posted somewhere else: http://i.imgur.com/w570u.jpg |

I did ask her, but she didn't really know how to explain apart from she didn't think we were compatible. I don't think it could have gone anywhere long term so I'm not sure why I'm so cut up about it. She even had the nerve to try and kiss me on the face on the way out, to which I just avoided and closed the door. Bizarre. |

Even if I have an emotional investment in a girl, if she chooses to walk on me because I don't wish to commit, am messing around elsewhere or whatever then I let her go because I would do the same if she wasn't willing to give me what I want. If anything I respect her more for it. Though with your particular preference for girls who must meet a certain criteria of innocence and social sexuality I am surprised you would let 1 of these rarities pass if they came along... |

I just have difficulty letting go of things sometimes and yes that's a bit needy but it takes some thinking about and controlling. It's like even though I know it couldn't have worked, I have this overriding feeling to try and understand from her point of view why it wouldn't work. I think it's probably best that I deleted them off my Facebook but in the back of my head, I'm hoping they would contact me again in the future (needy). Anyway, I'm sure it'll all be sorted when I find another girl. |
