Background: 24 male. Inexperienced, never had LTR/Plate.
Alright, so I made my first cold approach about 3 weeks ago at Uni. I wen't up to her said Hi and then sat in complete shock for about 5 seconds with my lips quivering not knowing what to say. She laughs and says "its ok, I'm here for the next 30 minutes, if you want to talk" (gist of it). end up talking with her ask her if she would like to smoke/hang out sometime and grab her number. Text her a day after and she responds quickly at first but then goes silent till the next day. Her replies were very delayed for the next few days but she continued to convo. When we finally agree on meeting up she ends up choosing a place where you can smoke weed and play board games/chess. This seems like its heading to a LJBF situation here. During the 'date' we play a few games, laughing, teasing each other and there's plenty of eye contact. A few times she just starts giggling while holding eye contact. But in the back of my mind i still get a very friendzonish vibe.
Signs she doesn't see me in a romantic/sexual way:
-Calls me dude all the time, (she's from europe so maybe its not a friendzonish term like in NA?) ( she doesn't even remember my name, says names are a problem for her)
-ignored when i asked to go out for drinks (but turns out she cant drink on her meds)
-She responds maybe when I try to set up a day, at first she said she was busy and recommended another day but it was a maybe as well. Told to her hit me up the next week and she did text me though.
-she led the whole interaction, she talked most of the time. led me around the city and was basically doing everything for me but in a motherly instinct kind of way. Mind you I'm 2 years older than her, so she definitely doesn't see me as above her in any way.
-Wanted to pay for cover and got confused when I payed for her. She bought me a coffee and some rolling papers in return. (I see this a sign that this will be our only and final hang out).
-No kino at all. She put her stuff the space next to her so I had to sit across from her. I tried to get close to her at the end of the night while walking home but she sensed it and evaded it. Turned her face away during hug at the end like she didn't want any part of a make out.
-She twice told me how she forgot I was older than her and says I'm passive and act like im 19.
-I got AMOGED to death while playing chess with her. She wanted me to teach her but some next dude (rough looking guy) comes sits next to her and pretty starts helping her play. I barely play chess and start getting my ass kicked, and the dude starts talking shit like "i'll anahllite this dude" "give me 3 moves and he's done" but in a passive aggressive way. I knew what was up, dude was jealous 'cause he thought she was my girl. She's very friendly with this random guy and starts laughing and shit. Pretty much he ends up playing for her and they both start teasing me on how I'm going to lose. I sorta lose frame at this point and tell her "you're not even playing though, you're just asking him what to do" to which she responds" are you jealous?" At the end of the night she sees the dude again and says bye, he continues lowkey talking shit and I just walk away. I tell her that dude was' a character' to which she replies " well he'll always be in my heart for teaching me how to play chess". I was the beta in this situation 100%.
-She's a psych major and pointed out I'm neurotic, agreeable and introverted when I asked her about the Big 5 traits.
-mentioned that 'she's not that easy' and that 'i'll get used to her rhythm' (whatever that means)
-no overt flirting or sexual innuendo. (she's from Belgium mind you which i hear are more reserved).
-After the date I text her "cool chilling with you, let's do it again sometime" (i wasn't direct because I don't know what she wants from this) she responds "yeah it was cool :)" ( she doesn't agree explicitly that we should hang out again). We text a little more and then I haven't texted her after (been two days).
So what's it looking here boys? I'm pretty sure she gave me a pity date due to the fact the she was lonely and had time to waste. But my inner hamster is rationalizing this as her being a little weird and awkward herself or playing some sort of game. She's definitely little 'off' being overly happy, and nice. I think its partially due to her meds. she could get way more attention if she tried but she's kinda one of those smart, quirky, nerdy chicks.Don't think she has many options.
everything i've described screams like she doesn't really respect me as a man which hurts. I know AWALT and all that, but maybe dating and getting to know someone is different in her country? She's not tryna make me her beta orbiter at all, it just seems like she was obligated to go out with me after she said yes initially and didn't really seem interested in seeing me again. Should I hit her up with a merry christmas in a few days? or just leave it and ask her to chill when school starts again? or just be upfront dgaf attitude and ask her out on a proper date? i'd be cool with just a fwb situation dont really care for LTR. Don't think i have much to lose at this point.
