I'm the exact same way. It's a bad trap to fall in to. Unless this guy tangibly proves he's different, don't expect anything and don't trust him. These things need to be shown, not felt.

flowers are a banner to show you are on trial period like student driver. trial period is just that and nothing more. anxiety and fear are skunk juice for relationships.

Skunk juice? Ok, I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.

I agree... But sometimes one can let their guard up and not realize it until they've fallen into that trap...

Ugh, this thread makes me sad.

Yes, there was some overreaction on my part, but I don't think I did anything so terrible that he should've been put off to the point where he can no longer even acknowledge my existence. That's the part that bothers me the most.

Yes, I maybe liked him more than I should have, but I'm just not a person who sees someone 5 times and communicates with them daily for a month unless I do really like them.

Yes, I feel bad about being so wrong about him. Didn't get a "player" vibe at all. Makes me question whether I'm a good judge of character or not because I never saw this coming.

Yes, I regret making myself too available to him. I'd like to think that silly rules and dating games aren't necessary, but maybe I'm wrong.

Anyways, this thread is hindering my ability to mentally move forward, so I have to let it go. What's done is done. Thanks for the input, everyone!
