Is She Into Me?

Q.

Met this girl, was shy to approach her, but somehow managed to start a conversation and get her number. We’ve been going out for a couple of months and I think she is slowly losing interest in me because I’ve been displaying (not on purpose) all the negatives you can think of – responding immediately to texts, accepting a short-notice date by changing plans, etc.

I am 27 years old, well-educated, and have a good job with a future, but have never been in long-term relationship due to lack of confidence. I get laid from time to time (not frequently) but that is not what I want.

So here’s the deal: When we last hung out, I spent the night at her house (not the first time) but we did not have sex. I wanted to, and am guessing she wanted me to take the lead. I was hoping we could get it on in the morning but she had plans. I kissed her goodbye said we should make plans later. Then Monday I texted her asking if her weekend was good and I got pretty cold response. The general pattern has been a drop in interaction. What do I do now? I like this girl and want her to be a part of my life, but it feels like she is not serious – or is not serious about me, at least.

You aren’t ruining this relationship by responding to texts and accepting last-minute plans. You’re blowing it by not using your words.

If you want to have sex with this woman, say so. If you want to see her, make that clear. And if you’re desperate to find out whether she’s into this, just ask her how she feels.

I am 27 years old, well-educated, and have a good job with a future. That’s you, my friend. You’re a guy who has sex from time to time (that means random people want to be naked with you), and you’re clearly charming enough to get a woman’s number.

Tell her what you want and find out if she reciprocates. If she doesn’t, you can take your great self and move on to something better.

Readers? Has he been too available? Is he accidentally sending mixed signals?
