I'm somewhat new to TRP and have been in more of a self improvement mode lately, i.e. hitting the gym, reading more and developing new skills, advancing my career, etc. All of which has been going well, but I have not had many opportunities yet to apply what I've learned from TRP.

Long story short, I recently got back into the dating scene and matched with a girl online. We hit it off pretty quick and I ended up sleeping with her about a week after first meeting. Got the usual "I don't usually do this" and "I don't want things to move too fast". Unfortunately I pretty quickly reverted back to my BP ways. Basically making it obvious how much I liked her and probably making it seem like I wasn't pursuing other options besides her. She was turning into a oneitis for sure. Pretty soon I got the sense that she wasn't feeling the situation as much anymore, giving more dry responses, not being nearly as flirty, etc. So I decided to cut my losses and basically walk away. We'd made plans for another date this past Sunday but I told her I'd forgotten about concert tickets for that night that I'd purchased a while back (true story) and that we'd have to do dinner another time. Her only response was "ok".

We haven't spoken since then and I keep having to remind myself to just leave it be, but there's that voice in the back of my head telling me to reach back out and gauge the response. I know I need to focus on other prospects and keeping my options open, but I would like to keep her around if possible. In your experience is this even a possibility to regain any of that attraction if and when that initial sense of chase or mystery is gone? Is it worth it to try and reschedule the date I canceled or should I just wait it out and see if she tries to contact me again? And if not, hopefully by then I'll be onto bigger and better things anyway.

One thing I know for sure is that I'm overthinking this whole thing so that's why I'd like to get some outside perspectives and opinions. Thanks in advance for any advice, even if you're just going to call me a beta idiot. In all honesty that's probably what I need to hear lol.
