warp123 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Hello, im a 31 male and this is my story, ill try to make it as short as possible. I started chatting with this lady and the more we talked, the more we found to have things in common, made a lot of jokes, we loved talking to each other. The more time passed, the more we talked, to the point where i wake up every day and already had "good morning" on my phone. So, she is the kind of woman that likes to go very slow even to meet with a man for a drink, you have to earn her trust. We finally meet and it goes perfect! We talk a lot, laugh a lot and have a lot of fun, we were together for about 4 hours. Sounds good by now right? Well, i started to feel something for her, so i asked her what was that day about. Was it a date or just a friendly meeting? The answer is the latest... She works 7 days a week, her boss is her ex and she wants to quit that job, but she is stressed not only by her job, but because she knows her next job wont be paid as good as this, one of her many options is traveling (escaping) somewhere else for a year or so, to disconnect from everything. Basically she said she has no time for relationships until her personal situation goes better, which could be months from now. I think that puts me either "first in queue" or in friend zone. So i dont know what do do... should i just disappear, slowly fade out and see if she misses me, or act like nothing and see what happens? Her situation looks bad, i know, but the is the kind of woman that i want to be the mother of my children, and trust me im very demanding, shes 100% what i want in life. Only have found one woman like this before, dated her for 2 years but didnt work out... so please note that i have a really hard time finding women like this. What should i do?

smackie9 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 What should you do? Take it as a rejection and move on, that's what you should do. The bigger the story the bigger the lie. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I knew her a long time ago (but real quick) and by then i already knew she was always busy. Some years have passed and she has always told me how busy she is. This is something that she has been telling me for months, not a last minute made up story. She is busy for real. Link to post Share on other sites
Author warp123 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 She is the manager of 5 restaurants, also does human resources. Sorry but couldnt edit the previous post. Link to post Share on other sites

Yet she has time to text you good morning and chat every single day. It doesn't matter how busy someone is, if they are interested they make time. Most excuses for not wanting to date (and that's what this one sounds like, are just that - excuses). It's a soft landing so your feelings aren't hurt too badly. You're only other option besides friendzone is to go all out and start creeping on her. But that only works in the movies. IRL 99 times out of 100, she either blocks you or it ends in a restraining order... 4 Link to post Share on other sites

IRL 99 times out of 100, she either blocks you or it ends in a restraining order... Good morning is easy to write, you can write while you get your coffee machine working. She barely talks during the day (one line or two maximum) until she is almost in bed when she ends her shift at midnight. Most conversations are at this time, we chat for an hour or two. Im pretty attractive, dont have trouble finding woman to bang so i doubt its the problem, and there seemed to be a lot of chemistry. Maybe her breakup is too recent? Shes been telling me about her plans of maybe leaving way before meeting. Or maybe you are right, i dont know. Being in the situation or not, you can see what you want, both from my view and from outside. But i appreciate your thoughts. Should i just totally disappear and block her everywhere? Should i disappear slowly, stopping the daily chats and see how she reacts?

I dunno. When I'm working 7 days a week and really don't want to be there, I can't think of anything better than a night out (however brief it may be) and some good sex to relieve stress. Men and women are different in that way sometimes, but not THAT different. From what you describe, she just doesn't seem interested. I'll share a current interaction I'm having that is exactly what I'm talking about. I've been texting back and forth with a girl for 2 or 3 weeks now. She kept agreeing to meet, but was VERY slow to respond to texts and flaked every single time. She complained constantly about how busy she is and that various aspects of her life are stressing her out. I finally got tired of it and deleted her number. Wednesday night she texts me yet again about meeting. I agree only because I'm already out and told her to come to where I was. Well we finally met and really hit it off. She has now texted me good morning two days in a row. Called me last night and talked on the phone for an hour. Last night she also mentioned being very spontaneous and is hinting at plans for next week. What happened to busy, stressed, and can never meet???

healing light Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 So you're telling me she can travel and escape for one full year but can't leave her 24/7 job with her ex for a more reasonable one because it pays well? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author warp123 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) You can continue along with this, but I'd definitely date other women as well If would definitely date others, same as ive been doing before meeting her in person. The thing is, how would you "continue along"? Should i act like nothing? should i be colder...? I dunno.

Well she works until midnight and wakes up early too, shortest shifts are 10 hours. Your girl was making excuses to NOT meet. Mine does want to meet again, its just that she is at least for now not expecting to end in an LTR So you're telling me she can travel and escape for one full year but can't leave her 24/7 job with her ex for a more reasonable one because it pays well? She would rent her apartment while she is away. Edited November 3, 2017 by warp123 Link to post Share on other sites
elaine567 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Are you definitely sure her ex is really her ex? Being always busy and midnight texting may be a bit suspicious... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
O'Malley Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 She has her priorities but dating you isn't one of them. I'd accept it and turn your attention elsewhere - great if she initiates meeting up for coffee or a drink sometime, but I'd stop putting effort into daily chats. Link to post Share on other sites

Mine does want to meet again, its just that she is at least for now not expecting to end in an LTR Something doesn't add up. Anyone who works shifts is hourly. If she works 7 days a week and 10 hours a day, that's a minimum of 70 hours but sounds like 80, 90, or 100 hours. And she works in HR? It sounds like many labor laws are being violated unless she opts out and chooses to be there. But I thought she doesn't want to be there? What is the difference between making excuses not to meet or making excuses not to date. If the end game for you is marriage and kids, there is no difference except you're wasting your time if you agree to continually meet someone who doesn't want the same thing from a relationship as you do...

Author warp123 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Are you definitely sure her ex is really her ex? Being always busy and midnight texting may be a bit suspicious... It would make sense to lie if we were actually dating, but we are not. She has her priorities but dating you isn't one of them. Why does it have to be "date me" and not just "date" in general? I mean why do you make it so there has to be always a person or another person? When i left my ex (i was the dumper) i didnt feel like meeting any girls for many weeks, even if it was just for sex. Something doesn't add up. Anyone who works shifts is hourly. If she works 7 days a week and 10 hours a day, that's a minimum of 70 hours but sounds like 80, 90, or 100 hours. And she works in HR?

Its not in the US to begin with. Like i said before, when im stressed, like when i dumped my ex, i dont feel like meeting anybody. Never happened to you?

You said she wants to meet you again, so continue to go on spending time with her. THROW the relationship, bf/gf crap out the window. Don't worry about all that.

Trip2TheSky Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The man of my dreams just popped up out of nowhere and we got married less than a year into our relationship. My best advice is to not go looking, because the right one will walk into your life when the timing is right. I am 26 and he is 54, but that never mattered to me and seeing as you don't seem superficial or bound to a certain "type" you have limitless opportunities to finding your ideal women. I wish you the all the best and keep us posted on your journey, if it helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GemmaUK Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 You've said you're very demanding, she is a busy lady with a lot going on just now which she needs to focus on. Sometimes it's just not worth getting into something that you only know is likely to cause more obligations when life is already tough as it is. You should move on from this one.

Cookiesandough Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Right. Too busy... The "I don't have time for a relationship" line. The president has time for a relationship. When Chad or Tyrone come around, watch her schedule and other things open right up. Keep your options open. Real open. Edited November 3, 2017 by Cookiesandough 5 Link to post Share on other sites
GuitarGuy7 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 My best advice is to not go looking, because the right one will walk into your life when the timing is right. Only when you already have the natural tools to attract somebody. This advice isn't going to work for everybody. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I found the guy of my dreams. But if we'd been using your criteria, we'd both still be single - especially given that we met at a party. Perhaps you'd do better if you loosened up a bit.

smackie9 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Reality check: Obviously you will never be a priority, and there is nothing you can do to change that. So you either accept it and stop complaining, or you move on. Link to post Share on other sites

normal person Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The man of my dreams just popped up out of nowhere and we got married less than a year into our relationship. My best advice is to not go looking, because the right one will walk into your life when the timing is right. So do you really think that because this just "happened" for you, that it will just magically "happen" for everyone, and they actively shouldn't put in effort to going out and looking for someone they want to be with? It's like you're suggesting that there's only one way to do things, and that because you met someone when you weren't expecting it, that it happened because you weren't expecting it, which we all know is bogus. It was totally circumstantial and you've romanticized it. People meet each other as a result of circumstances, like being in the same place at the same time, or having a mutual friend, not because they were or weren't expecting to meet someone. Whether or not you're looking for someone is totally irrelevant. I'm happy for you, but let's not pretend "not looking" is the best method of finding a partner, because we know it's not. It's like you hit a half court shot in basketball once, and your advice to basketball players is now to stop practicing lay ups, and to just need to shoot from half court every single time. What do you mean "when the time is right?" Are you assuming these things are all preordained? If you want to find a partner, your best odds are by looking for one (not to the point of being obvious or desperation), affording yourself opportunities to cross paths with as many people as you can, looking online, etc -- not by sitting at home watching TV, telling yourself that you're not looking for someone, secretly believing in the fairy tale that your person is just going to magically materialize in front of you.
