I'm wondering if the OP thinks that he is being "ghosted" if he sends the young woman a text or email and she doesn't respond within five minutes? People DO have lives, they DO get busy and may not be able to respond instantly when sent a message. That is NOT "ghosting." If she fails to respond to texts and emails over a given period of time, say several days or longer, then that might be considered "ghosting."

But to the OP, women's lives should revolve solely around him, a silly subservient satellite orbiting the glory of his entitled and monstrously materialistic Wall St based sun.

Therefore, a text not replied to within a matter of seconds - irrespective of where she is or what she is doing, and irrespective if she is am improbably splendid eleven - is a clear example of "ghosting" in his mind.
 
OK, I think I'll try "ghosting" now too, not using forum tools but just for certain members. "Byeveryone" see you elsewhere.
 
I’ve read the whole thread and OP you need to STOP texting women that makes you look despaorent fool! Wait for HER to text you first!

Plus modern women ALL want to trade up with guy they want, be confident and girls will flock around you!

Everything is fine again. That’s just how it is. takes a little bit to learn about a person.
-iphone is good lol
-dating is going good (for now touch wood)
-need to start trying to build muscle and get toned but hey doesn’t everybody? Haha
 
Historically, when a man loved a woman who didn't desire him at all, he gave something up to entice said young woman. Perhaps try cutting your ear off?

@Zenithal: Even those who might possibly be classed as needy narcissists need their ears in case they manage to learn to listen.

Nevertheless, if the subject of cutting, excision, or removal of a body part is under discussion, I'd suggest that we look elsewhere.

So let me get this straight.
The girl you like is going out partying with friends, probably seeing other people in between, and when she wants a nice dinner on the weekend hits you up, and you fall for it every time?

Seriously, if she is not getting back to your texts for 2 days or so, then you need to be moving on. When you are at the dating stage and getting to know each other I'd expect a lot more interaction. Stop letting her take you for a fool.

Have you read the OP's other threads?

Instructive and illuminating, to say the very least.

That got an evil chuckle from me. That is, of course, presuming that particular appendage is even useful for the poor chap seeing how his rather illustrious tales seemingly end in nothingness.

So it’s been maybe a month or so. There’s been some up and downs but overall in the end despite any drama we do end up seeing each other and have a great time. Yes I’m supporting her with things she wants, although it hasn’t been too much. Yes I’m having a lot of fun. It’s nice to have her in my life.

What’s tripping me up though is that she says she wants to “date” which is basically what we’ve been doing, so she clarified what that means to her, which is I can’t see other girls, only her. And that’s fine with me. I have no intention of seeing someone else. She also says she’s wants something more serious if it goes there in the future. The thing is, I want that too

But,

I just hope she’s being genuine...
 
it’s not like she’s trying any less hard. She asked if I wanted children on our first date! Which isn’t a big deal but still


I’m not trying to convince anybody I just want An answer.

like why? this is crazy. Never happened before
Welcome to dating my friend. Take it from someone who was there, and was one in a position like you.

It sucks, it hurts, it's annoying, it's confusing, especially when YOU THINK it's going well.

I know it's hard to do this, BELIEVE ME I do, but you "ghost" as well, or whatever the kids are calling disappear these days.

You tried, it didn't take for reasons that have nothing to do with you, now move on.

Next time, like others have said, go lighter on the first dates. A drink, coffee, no need to spend a fortune.

Take it one day (or date) at a time. You'll know if she's being genuine soon enough.
