Hello TRP-

Recently I have begun seeing a girl - we have gone in 7+ dates over a month and each one was very affectionate, fun, and both seemed to like to see each other. We’ve had sex, and she generally calls or messages me in the morning each day. I had to leave town for a week to visit and during that week I can honestly say I screwed up bad and spent hours on the phone with her which likely lowered attraction significantly.

My issue is that now that I have gotten back she doesn’t seem to want to hang out with me. The first night back she was going to dinner with her friends but I had told her I wanted to see her before she went. She didn’t respond to my text until hours later when she said she has fallen asleep. I happened to be around the area where you was having dinner with her friends and she invited me to join them. When I got there she was drunk and seemed very cold to me. After dinner she didn’t want to grab drinks or come over to my place and I could sense that something was very wrong. She didn’t want to kiss nor talk so it what was bothering her. I kept pressuring her to tell me what was wrong but she refused and I began to feel like I was being too pushy. I told her I was worried about her because of how different she was treating me.

We left on pretty bad terms and the next morning she called just to say good morning and ended the call when I asked her if I overreacted to her being cold to me the previous night. She texted me that I didn’t overreact and it was “her fault” but again did not elaborate.

My question is: should I give her space and let her do the chasing? I have already asked her when she was free but she gave wishywashy answer and no definite answer. She also claimed She was going to be busy the entire day today but just ended of sitting at her house watching Tv and relaxing. I just feel like she’s rather chill at home than spend time with me even though we’ve been talking daily for the previous week. She recently went through a really rough breakup with an EX that stole her life savings- and during one drunken call to me after she went out she told me she was thinking about calling him, and that he regretted doing that. Do I need to give her space to be ready for another relationship?
