I fucked up.

I have been seeing this girl for about two months. Things were going well but she was acting a bit relationship ish. I.e. Present me to her friend, sister, text everyday, hold hands, etc. Or so I thought. She met another guy a week before and then started acting odd. She didn't want a relationship and wanted to be free. I'm reading fucking other people. For some reason it made me uncomfortable and I told her about it. Pretty sure she still went on her dates. It's kind of where I realized I got a liking to this girl. I'm very new in the TRP world. I've been working a lot and haven't been meeting many new girls. So I don't have much other options right now. I'm still shy but improving. I'm reading the theory but I have a hard time with the emotional aspect. I like having someone around that I'm comfortable with and enjoy spending time with.

By now, I think I fucked things up with this girl and I'm not sure if there's anything I could have done to keep whatever was going on while being attached.

I ended up seeing texts between her and the guy she met (her phone opened on the texts when I closed an alarm) and she was hamstering away hard. She messaged things about having a cold sore so she won't be able to kiss him and when I saw it she was trying to explain that it's because the last time she saw him he tried kissing her so she was telling him that to keep him away.

I think I've had a bit too much hamstering of hers [and my own] to deal with lately and need to vent.

At the same time, how do you guys deal with your emotions and getting more girls? I am working on myself at the same time I feel more comfortable in LTRs than what I'm experiencing so far in the dating world and I'm very confused about how to go about it. Either the girls are boring and I won't see them after a date or they're cool but then I want to keep seeing them and seemingly get attached. I've read about abundance mentality and I do think there are other girls out there. It just doesn't seem to calm my mind.

And how do you 'let go'? I find I have problems with doing so. Like even right now I'm debating contacting this girl when it doesn't seem like a good idea.
