How to date again

5 replies

After a divorce 5 years ago I spent most of the time seeing people on and off but nothing really serious as I've been too fragile. I recently met someone who is lovely. So I don't blow it (because I get too emotional) I'm trying to take it really slow and nothing major has happened but we've kissed and held hands and seen each other about 3 times.

But what is upsetting me is that for every text I sent I might get one back 4 hours later. I am falling for this girl and think why would she meet me if she didn't like me? But she doesn't reply back much and I'm nervous to call her because I feel like I'm interrupting her.

On the weekend we hung out for a bit and she let me cuddle her and hold her for ages but didn't really like cuddle me back much.

I feel sad. Should I just accept she's busy and stuff and keep going? It is very rare I can find someone v cute and small (I'm not that tall) and I usually blow it by getting too intense.

It's been 3 dates. Give it time.
How much are you texting her? If you're being a bit too keen and texting too much, this might be putting her off. Or she might just be busy.
Have you got another date arranged?

I text her a few times a day, just get v quick one word replies or an emoji. I wanted to see her before I go to Spain for a few days but she said it's complicated because she works early

Go enjoy yourself in Spain

People do have different communication styles, it doesn't necessarily mean she isn't into you but it might mean you aren't compatible. Give it a bit longer but there's nothing wrong with you and it might be that you need to find someone more in your wavelength. It's too soon to call yet. Google love languages and attachment styles- it might help you understand yourself and her a bit better.

Thanks you're probably right. I'm resisting the temptation to just delete her number and say sorry but you're clearly not keen etc.
