This situation is exactly why dating sucks sometimes. You meet someone and you really like them, but you can't tell what they're looking for. You're trying to be cool and not come on too strong while also showing that you are interested. It's like a huge chess game. And no one wants to flat out say what they're looking for or call people out on their flaky behavior because then you might be seen as being too needy.

At six weeks it sounds like things should be progressing beyond once a week if that. When you really like someone you make time especially if you live close to each other. The fact that she isn't making time for you on a regular basis makes it seem to me like she has you has a back up plan. Someone to see if nothing else is going on or someone to text to pass the time when she's bored. I wouldn't expect someone to be dropping everything to make time for someone after six weeks, but she seems luke warm about you at best. If you're fine just seeing what happens, then do that, but if at six weeks you're looking for a relationship, then you might want to start opening your options back up.

Sums it up to a tee

It's the dinner date at home that convinces me she's not that into him

Yes but its only my opinion mate

It's not gospel of course as everyone is different but yes after 6 weeks and in that environment I would have thought sex was on the cards

Don't worry about your " inexperience " mate as I said earlier I think you went about everything from start to finish in a very good mannered way and done everything correctly

Thx Bro. I was obviously hoping for it lol. All i got was a 5 min makeout session lol. But obviously sex wasn't the ultimate goal. I actually like the chick. Oh well.

If you actually really like her and have no interest in starting from scratch with someone new then give it a bit more time then. Naturally if you were just after the shag I'd look elsewhere.

Honestly yes I would have expected it and I'm sure you have expected it by now but again if she's that special keep at it

This I know contradicts ALOT I've said on the forum but if she's special ......

The more I've seen her facebook page and think back to the effort I've put in w/ her and her responses, the more turned off I am by her. I think her being as hot as she is and coming onto me so strong in the beginning kinda put the blinders on me. The more I think about this, the more I feel like she's known what she's doing to me and it kinda pisses me off. I think this has been more of a casual game to her. It's a game I am inexperienced at.
