Look, I'm busy, as fuck. She's busy, as fuck. We have jobs. We have kids. We managed to have one date a couple months ago. It went well, but not as far as either of us had hoped. I got her back to my place. I was getting fuck me vibes, but (honestly) I didn't feel confident in myself.

Why?

All I can say is she is super submissive. I tend toward women with a bit of an edge, some fight and this girl, she just doesn't have it. She's stunningly beautiful, successful, quiet and soft hearted. She doesn't cuss, barely drinks and doesn't have any tattoos. WTF I am supposed to do with this?! Ha.

I had her in my apartment. I kissed her, deeply...bit her lip...and then, I backed away.

Clearly, I put her on a pedestal.

After that date, we tried to sync calendars, but it never happened. She cancelled our final attempt at a 2nd date with a last minute message on the day of, saying "Sorry, I can't make it out tonight...never found a sitter." I had assumed a cancellation, already next'd her and started focusing on a LTR attempt soon after. The pedestal girl would text me every once in a while, just checking in - saying she hoped we'd get together again - I didn't respond with much substance. When I broke off the LTR attempt, I saw the pedestal on Tinder and sent her a text. She asked where I had been. I just told her I had been super busy. She said she had been busy, as well. Right away, she sent me some new pics. Beautiful, I tell you.

This Sunday evening, I sent one back. She responded "Handsome man!!!"

"Come and get him! ...careful, I'll eat you up!" I said. She lol'd and I didn't respond.

Monday morning I bluntly set it up. "Friday night, date night - best Chinese on XXX Road, then jazz at XXXXXXX - let’s lock it in, let me know."

"Omg sounds like fun. I'll check my schedule let you know by tomorrow."

And now, radio fucking silence - I'm not saying shit and she hasn't confirmed the date. Today is the tomorrow she meant, but obviously I can't message her. At this point, it's either she confirms or I have to hard next. If it's on, I'm escalating like a motherfucker - telling her meet at my place (for convenience) and come in while I finish getting ready.

The pussy pedestal is putting anxiety on my game...I hate it! Fortunately, I have a date tonight with an established plate and a first date on Thursday. Again, not sure I have a question, but welcome critiques and support.

UPDATE: she texted just now, a day late, stating she can't go - has a forgotten kid event. She didn't suggest another time or day. Oh, well. Next.
