Oh no. I didn't see this.

I'm really sorry.

Now, that doesn't mean she wants this guy more than you or even plans on pursuing it. In these initial stages it's possible to be interested in going out with more than one person. It's not like anyone's made a commitment. But...all things added together, it's not sounding all that positive. You deserve more, let's put it that way (IOW, you're ready for a relationship, you're a good person, you should get that in return, in a perfect world). So move forward.

Agree with this.

She is keeping her options open.

You should, too.

I was pregnant, trying to lie on the cot with my sick toddler, wouldn't want to revisit that.

I can see such a thing happening but I agree that such "emergencies" seem to magically happen an awful lot with OLD dates who then start putting dates off, and off and off and off. Once in a while it's the person him/herself but usually it's a just distant enough relative.

I'm not feeling this one but I'm rooting for the OP...hope things turn out well, one way or another. Personally, though, if it were me, I'd be cooling off.



She told me friend she's currently talking to me, and another guy. She told her the other guy is very attractive but she's iffy on him.

I guess you can be reasonably sure that she was lying to you.

I would say it's more likely he's iffy regarding her and she is hoping he will change his mind. Meanwhile, you're still there, in the likely case it falls through.

ETA: If she is sharing what she is talking about him to you...well, you know.

This what she was telling a person that we both know. She's been trying to help me out ever since she found out her friend is talking to me. Nothing wrong with exploring options, seeing as I am doing it as well and am replying to people who message me on the dating app I am using.


But this girl was putting in the most effort, and I have gotten faster and more detailed responses from her out of anyone else.

Dude, I'd stay in the game. Quitting gets you nothing but wasted time. Not quitting at least gets you more information about her, and potential for future development. As you said, you're exploring options as well, and you two seemed to have liked each other. Just go for it, but don't be desperate. Womenfolk can smell that a mile away. From your posts it sounds like you're doing okay on that front.

Thank you, I needed to hear that. I like her so far. (need to meet her in person to determine how I still feel though.) Right now I am trying to think of ways to show her I'm still interested, without appearing desperate, as well as making her feel like she's being smothered.

She already knows you're interested. I would back down and see if she approaches. You're not out of the game, so to speak, if you do that.
