Women confuse me

Okay, somebody explain this one to me. I asked this girl out - whose name I didn’t even know. I just knew that she went to the same church that I did and that she was attractive. Well she said yes and she gave me her phone number. I called her up the next day and we talked for an hour and forty minutes. She said that she was leaving on vacation in two days so she wanted to go out the day before she left. We went out and I had a great time. She was acting like she was having a lot of fun too. She was flirting with me the whole time and I was getting some good vibes. At the end of the date she told me that she really had a good time and told me that she would like me to call her when she returned from her vacation. So a week went by and I called her up a day after she returned. This phone call was much different from the first one. She sounded like she was either in a bad mood or completely uninterested in me. We only talked for about 20 minutes and it seemed very awkward. I asked her if she was free to go out on the coming weekend. She produced this very busy schedule and apparently had no room to go out with me. Then she said that she had to get off the phone but closed with, “You can call me later this week if you want.” After I got off the phone I thought that there was no way I was going to call her as it seemed like she wasn’t interested in a relationship or anything like that. Well later in the week I thought I would call her anyway. I called and she wasn’t home. I left a message with her sister and said that if she would like to return my call she could. That was a week ago. She never returned my call and I don’t plan on calling her anymore. What I’m confused about is how could a girl go from acting like she had a great time to acting completely uninterested? Moreover, how could she act uninterested and still tell me that I could call her later in the week? Women confuse me.

She met someone on vacation.

Move on.

Sorry, man.

Give up. Noone can explain it, or if they can, they won’t. It’s their job to keep up guessing, and to just be generally evil :slight_smile:
“I sold the memoirs of my love life to parker brothers. They are going to make a game out of it.”

umm… it’s been a rough week and a half for most people, so it’s understandable if she’s a little off the idea of a budding romance right now. I’d say you should reset to the beginning. See her at church, smile, say hello, and see if she’s still as distant as she was over the phone.

I’m afraid that I must have bombarded her with Evil Kabbes Rays[sup]TM[/sup]. I have very little control over Evil Kabbes Rays[sup]TM[/sup] and indeed have only inferred their existence from observed behaviour of ms kabbes.

Sorry 'bout that.

I agree with Magdalene,
She met someone on vacation.

It sucks though. Timing, sometimes it’s all about the timing and sometimes we don’t have any control over the timing.

I want to say call her once more but it’s probably pointless.

Women used to be very confusing to me until I learned all I needed to know in one little saying.

“There are two types of women, crazy or dead”

It got so much simpler after I learned that.

Well, there are only three types of men - crazy, dead or smelly.

No wait - I think that actually one of those types applies universally, come to think of it.

I’m with Ethilrist. Forget the phone call, see her in church, and say “Hi.” No need to hold her behavior against her…after only one date you probably don’t have enough emotionally invested to hold a grudge. If you guys chat and get back on a good foot, then great. If she shows ANY signs of the earlier weirdness, then keep walkin’.

Good luck…

I’m convinced it’s random…
There is no logical reason for a great deal of women’s behavior.

Of course I’m pretty sure that applies to men too…just in different ways.

Who knows for sure but, in your case I’d forget about phone calls for now, and just talk to her at church if she still acts uninterested bring a good chick friend of yours to church with you, and explain the situation and ask if she’d pretend to be your girlfriend for the day.

Introduce the two of them and take notice of the way she acts, I’d say if she still wants you she will give you some kind of clue.

You could then even excuse yourself to the bathroom, so the girls could talk, then let your chick friend feel the situatuion out.

If your chick friend thinks that this other girl still likes you, you could wait a week or so and lay this big old story about how your “girlfriend” broke your heart.

Yeah, so what a little deception never hurt anybody.
Just a thought, but then my own ideas have backfired just as many times as they’ve worked.

Ahh yes, the vacation amnesia syndrome! I’m been a victim of this malady many times. I don’t know why, but for many women going on vacation is like having the hard drive of their heart erased. You’re luck she remembered your name.
