I met this plate a few months ago and we got on really well, very compatible. I decided to take it to LTR levels but before it could reach that stage we had a big fight, I lost frame and just realised she wasn’t worth my time. Moved on from then.

Since then she has tried contacting me a few times although I have just ignored them. However the other week I just felt lonely and horny with a third more severe lockdowns where I live. I decided “fuck it” and began texting her again out the blue. She responded and we started talking again. Right from the start I acted very dominant and teasing, she shit tested and I passed. She knew where it was going and didn’t beat around the bush. Next few days were smooth as, although I fucked up somewhere and not sure where.

I decided I didn’t want to give too much attention so applied dread. Gave short, spaced out replies. It worked and she became more eager and pleased to text me than she was before, I could tell I was her “first option”. However I responded to these texts with more dread, less attention etc. This seemingly pissed her off and she went two days without messaging me. I feared I had been to push and decided to message her to see if she was feeling ok. She responded with just “yes” and then I asked her if something was up in her life she just went “no”. I wasn’t being taken for a fool and wasting my time, I took the hint and just said “suit yourself”. She mockingly laughed in response, I ignored it and haven’t spoke to her since.

How can I not make the same mistake in the future? Did I have the right attitude in the end?
