Context: been on a few dates with a girl,went back to hers last time. Have been talking to her since, she didn't reply for a while, I assumed our 'fling' had finished its course and felt a bit down. Is this a normal feeling or should I have been more indifferent about it? I know we like to talk about women not being everything and living a life where you don't need women, but is it normal to try and live by these principles yet still experience positive/negative feelings related to women? I've been feeling bad for feeling a bit upset about the situation, basically, and I'm wondering if that's ok or a sign that my values aren't great.
