took a girl out on a first date, it went great. flirting, blowing kisses across the table, actual kiss at the end, future date plans, and we got drunk and even cried a little bit on eachother.

 

i was a bit aggressive on text- i like you lets go out again.

 

her response- im not ready for a relationship, lets meet again but only as friends.

 

most likely its from lack of attraction, but what she showed me in person was A LOT of attraction.

 

could it be because she's afraid of her feelings? her last relationship was abusive.

IMO, avoid the trap of trying to figure out a woman's thoughts and emotions like a math problem to be solved. Fruitless venture.

 

She had fun on the date then later decided she felt no interest when you asked her out again. Discrete moments. Relationships, even during dating, proceed or end. Don't let them go backwards.

 

Consider it a fun first date, learn from it and move on. Examine your own feelings if she contacts you out of the blue. If this hot and cold bugs you, decline. Your prerogative.

i drilled her about this today. she seemed like she wasn't interested in me in general. says im not ready for a relationship, nor is she.

 

but she keeps saying she still wants to meet again, as friends.

 

i said next time we meet in my mind i'm treating it as a date.

 

she says thats fine.

 

i've never had to deal with such a mixed response. not that i get friendzoned often. its usually hard yes or no, mostly no.

 

what is going on here? the flirt was so strong last night- 'youre cute, nice eyes, ect' from her part with fake kisses and an actual kiss at the end, planning of future dates, and then the next day over text, this.

....don't cry with her her

Give her time to miss you, don't want it more than she does - she feels like she is the real deal, she is the prize..

her response- im not ready for a relationship, lets meet again but only as friends.

It's not what she did..it's what you deed..

No

Don't appear needy

Wrong move, the fact that you had ask her for the reason confirms to her that she made the right choice, seems needy, let go of the outcome

but she keeps saying she still wants to meet again, as friends.

It's a test, you are man of many otpions who knows what he wants : be decisive,it's either u get what you want, or you take nothing at all. That's not needy and is attractive.

i said next time we meet in my mind i'm treating it as a date.

Needy and desperate, you are accepting less than what u want and hoping that if you persevere hard enough she will then reward you with a date...

she says thats fine.

...you are now an orbiter, 1 of the guys who likes her, a friend-zoned dude,she will use for attention while she looks for another guy..

Respond to the NOW, never make what happened last night, or last week the basis of your interaction...this is the essence of the test-a needy & unattractive man will hold on to what happened yesterday, the kisses ect -a confident man responses to now

 

Text her this : ..I really had a great time last night, and I think you are a great and fun person to be around. At this point in my life I am not looking for anymore female friends (I have enough female friends already), I am looking forward to meeting someone to share a special bond with. I understand we are both not looking for the same thing right now, and I respect that. Because of this I won't be meeting you today...

Even so, but for reasons that are either simple or complicated and personal to her, she doesn't want a relationship right now. Or perhaps not with you. Either way, if you're treating your next meet up as a date (she won't be), you're only setting yourself up for misery. Unless you can hold your feelings down and turn this into a friendship, I'd suggest not seeing her.

Women are not looking for men to cry with, they are looking for a strong man they can cry in-front of; masculinity is a grounding force, a riverbed, the frame - femininity is the expression, the river flowing, the artwork in the frame- her attraction comes from you creating the environment where she can express her femininity for you, where she can laugh, dance and cry for you...where she is free to be feminine.

 

But you remain grounded, you remain stable - you acted as if she was talking with her female friends, you cried with her ---it's myth that by showing your emotions with women you attract them, you don't - seeing a men crying is not attractive for women.

Once friend zoned move on...

 

No point meeting up as friends there will be someone you go on a date with that will like you

That's not connection....you turned into her best GF, her teddy bear.

 

 

 

One time this guy got emotional on me about his childhood during what would have been a hot ONS.....like a switch, I got turned off. I sent him off on his way.

 

 

So I suspect this is what happened.

That seems pretty intense for a first date, blowing kisses, really? Crying on each other? Did you know each other beforehand or did you meet online?

Yup, OP, gotta co-sign on the crying thing. It's OK to cry when your mother or father or spouse, etc dies but a man must be pretty stoic to successfully reproduce. Show weakness and they'll toss you in the abyss without a care. Plenty of other guys to choose from. After divorce I dabbled with that, showing natural emotion, as an experiment and it helped me to decide to move on from relationships with women. Not worth the grief. You're young though. It'll work out.

Oh hell no! What you should have been doing was try to get her in the sac and nothing more.

Alot of guys co-sign on to a woman's signalling that she's not looking for anything (even though she actually goes and makes out with a guy) by trying to analyze her actions and words. Just because her boyfriend was abusive...that doesn't mean she doesn't like him. She may have the tingles and feels for him and most likely based on their longer history. She will still be connected to him. Sorry to bum you out.

 

Don't send any serious follow up messages about commitment. Just roll with it by saying "Okay, cool."

 

Ask her out again maybe a day before the thing you're doing and just try escalate the sexual tension/making out.
