Hello,
I'm new, and finally registered.
I apologise now as this is a bit different with it being a same sex relationship but you guys seem to give awesome advice!
I broke up with a partner I lived with, back last year. Stayed completely away from dating until the past few months and have now met someone online, and so far we've been on six dates (yes I count!).
On paper typing it, it seems awesome, we like each other enough to keep meeting up but for me, and her, I think it's as if there's something missing. On the third date we had a tiny kiss at the end. And nothing since then. Maybe not for the want of trying, back last week we had an absolutely amazing date, and wanted to, but ended up in the car surrounded by chavs and realised it wasn't quite the right time!
It brings me to our last date, after the one prior, I was so excited! We'd had such a good time and became really close. This time though it was just strange, we did pretty much the same, cinema and food. But she got all wound up when I asked about her best male friend who is apparently in love with her (she told me this on our first date). She kept saying it was rude for me to ask, as if things that were funny then, aren't any more.
I was in the multistorey so drove her down to her car afterwards, and we had a cuddle and she got out. I drove off as usual and thought 'screw this, I'm going to kiss her'. Got to the junction for the motorway, and text her saying 'Go back, or stay in the car park' and I drove back. I was at the back of the car park, saw her car there. Saw a text come through saying 'Gone to McDonalds for my sister' and she drove off. I was gutted!
However I'm at the point now where I want to just stop dating her, but can't. It's as if I have a mental block on it, apart from that one amazing date, the others haven't stood out as special. I keep going to block and delete her number from my phone, but just can't do it. I get like this with people, seemingly attached yet know they're not right for me!
Should I just try and phase out the texting? We don't message often, maybe a few times a day due to work, but I could try and just stop replying. And not mention going out again. I really want out of this, but just have that aspect of what if...if I let her go what if it could've ended up amazingly good!
