Sort of a one night stand? Now she won't speak to me.

First post, bear with me.

 

I just need a place to vent and let this out. A lot of my friends won't see this from my perspective.

 

About a week ago I started chatting with a girl on a dating site. I'm a picky bastard, and she was the first girl in months I'd made an attempt to contact via the website. Surprisingly, we got along great and have tons in common.

 

Neither of us were doing anyting Christmas night, so I suggested we meet for drinks at a neighborhood bar - hey, it's Chicago, bars are open on Christmas. She agreed. When I saw her, she had me at hello. Things were going much better than I expected. We stayed for almost 4 hours. One drink turned into 4 or 5 and then we finally decided to leave.

 

She lived a half block away so I walked her back to her place, she hooked her arm in mine as we walked down the street. I thought it was cute. We both went inside her apartment. She made the first advance not too long thereafter and I reciprocated. I accidentally left a few marks on her neck (very tacky, I know) . I felt really bad about that. She wasn't thrilled with it, either.

 

I thought I'd try and leave to keep myself from getting in more trouble. But as I suggested that to her, she decided to pull me into her bedroom and kiss me more. Onto the bed we went. BUT - we didn't sleep together, just lots of kissing, touching and a few missing items of clothing.

 

Eventually we cuddled and she fell asleep. I got out of bed, put the blanket over her, got my things and left. I sent her a text as I was leaving letting her know I tucked her in, apologized about the neck marks, told her I was happy to have met her and I'd get ahold of her the next day.

 

Of course, the next day I reach out and I get nothing; no reply. She even took her profile down on the dating site. That really made me feel good.

 

I've felt awful the past two days about this, like I did something horribly wrong. What do I do?! Should I have stayed? Let it go and just take the situation for what it was? Wait a few days and try and contact her again? It's a damn shame because I thought there could be great potential between us.

 

I'm a little embarrased to admit that I don't have much experience in matters like these, so any insight would be appreciated. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

Maybe she just didn't want to be alone on Christmas. She got what she wanted and felt satisfied. Who know though, maybe she was that distressed that you left your mark. I say don't obsess over it. It was just a moment in time.
