I'm not trying to salvage this one, I'm just genuinely baffled as to what went wrong in the process. Perhaps this is just a typical attention whore scenario except jacked up to the extreme level?
MEETING HER - I met her at a neighborhood party (she works 5 min near where I live), moved her to our own table, did some deep diving, built a connection. Lots of flirting, touching, everything seemed fine. There was no logistical way to make something happen that night, but I left the party with her number, and with her asking me to text her about hanging out later that week.
INTEREST? - I sent her a text a couple hours after saying "great to meet you tonight
" nothing more. A couple of days later I get a ton of messages on Instagram from her, with her talking about how awesome this week is going to be/what adventures we are going to go on together. That whole week, she initiates a conversation with me daily, to the point where I start expecting it (and treasuring the low effort I'm putting into the interaction). I try to get a firm plan and plan a time. After locking down a time. She enthusiastically agrees. Lots of smileys, lots of !!!! and
.
FLAKE - No show. No reason given. I treat the flake like it's no big deal, and don't reschedule.
I'M A LATE NIGHT OPTION? - Couple days later on a friday night, she calls me at 3am. I was asleep so I didn't answer (maybe a good thing) and later when I see her on Monday she said she was going to ask me to hang out (at 3am..?). After teasing her for being up to no good late on Friday night, I ask her out in person on the high note and lock down another date time.
FLAKE - No show. I treat the flake like no big deal again while talking to her later, but mentally chalk her up as a loss, thinking she isn't interested. Moving on to someone else, right?
ATTENTION, OR INTEREST? - Couple days later, after another flirty conversation in person (we run into each other at the gym frequently), she starts snapchatting me asking me if I find her attractive. I tease her for fishing for compliments, and dodge giving a direct answer. She then rephrases the question, asking what my type is. I give a general response, not trying to show all my cards that I find her drop dead gorgeous. She literally has a porn star body. She persists, and finally I tell her that she has a really sexy vibe. She replies saying that she also thinks I'm really sexy.
SEXTING/NUDES - Well....OK. Maybe I can get somewhere here. She thinks I'm really sexy. I tell her that we should do something about our mutual feelings, and start to move it towards a sext conversation. I succeed, and she eventually starts sending me nudes, and videos of her touching herself. I reply positively, without trying to sound too OMG OMG SO HOT (very sexy...I'm certainly looking forward to our next hangout!). She offers them all, I ask for none, and send none in return. I again try to set a firm date.
FLAKE - No show. This time she apologizes, but doesn't reschedule. I'm confused since I thought nudes = I'm somewhat in, but again I treat it like no big deal, consider it a loss and move on.
MORE SEXTING/NUDES - Next weekend, more nudes sent to me out of the blue, totally initiated by her, no request from me. Later, I see her in person, we talk about the weekend, and she suggests hanging out. I confirm a day, as usual, and a time, and she says she will get back to me. Couldn't lock down a date (she never confirmed).
So as confused as I was by all this, I concluded that I should give up, maybe she just likes the attention, isn't interested, and goes so far as to send nudes to get compliments.
BLOCKED..? - Now, I've gone away for the weekend somewhere else, and just noticed she blocked me on snapchat.
.........what? The last thing I sent was a video of me playing the electric piano and saying it would be fun to do a jam session together (she is also a musician). Never sent anything creepy or weird, and I do believe I balanced persistence versus chasing. She replied with excitement, smileys, and !!!. Later, I find I'm blocked.
Like I said, I think this is an extreme case of attention whoring, but I could be totally wrong? If she had attraction, it's almost her fault that it expired, since she flaked on every plan. Or maybe I did not move fast enough/push hard enough. Or maybe I'm blind to something that the gurus here can easily see. Perhaps I have not given enough information. I'm curious as to what people think of this scenario.
