This situation keeps getting more complicated. I previously posted a thread entitled "Where do I stand with her." The short of it was I dated this girl we hit it off and by date five I asked her if she thought our dating was going to progress further, because I caught some hint of disinterest on her part, which she confirmed to be true. That very same date we continued to stay at a bar and talked where I told her she could leave if she wanted, but she didn't. In fact while we left to catch a cab she grabbed me and started kissing me. Basically she was sending me the most mixed messages I've ever received in my life. I believe this all stems from her mistrust in men, because her father cheated on her mom, and I think she had some bad relationships.

Anyways, I kept confronting her about why she would not be attracted to me yet still cling to me and want to make out, but she claims it was cause she had a few drinks and still had typical female urges, but couldn't see us in a long term relationship. When we parted ways I said I would delete her number, and told her if she had any doubts to call me and we could try to start out as friends and go slow.

I assumed I would never hear from her again, because she was more than likely playing games, but three days later I get a text with her apologizing and wondering if we can still stay in touch. At this point I'm more curious about what other women's reactions are to this. Despite everything I'm still really attracted to her, but I can't tell if she is screwing with me or sincere, because of her past with men. Maybe she gets scared of being hurt and detracts. I guess the only way to find out is to slowly enter the waters again with no expectations.

Believe me ladies, your two cents are greatly appreciated.

I see this as a very bad risk, if you continue with her.

Either she is really messed up, to be so "on again, off again," or she is setting this groundwork to use later as an excuse for her bad behavior ("I told you I was ...")

***

If you choose to keep her - which I would not - then my suggestion is to set specific rules, and not allow any deviation. If she does, then you just have to leave.

I see this person as too likely to hurt you.

D_Lion I totally agree with you, which is why I'm not going to invest that much into it, unless she really tries hard to prove herself.

Sorry, even though I'm a woman, I can't add my two cents, because I don't act like the person you described and cannot begin to dig into her thinking to tell you why she is so flaky.

She seems like one of those women that really make it hard for someone else to date you after. I wouldn't waste my time with her if I were you. She could be laying the groundwork, as Froggie suggests. But, I have a feeling this is just her normal MO and doesn't know any other way of doing things. Kinda like the Rules Girls. They found it works once, so don't fix it if it ain't broke.

She might change her ways as she grows older, we almost all do. But, we're talking a decade or two. No need to wait. Set her free to mess with some other man's head.

agree. Bad risk. Using 'I had too many drinks as an excuse never counts. You are responsible for what you do - if drinking makes you do stupid things, cut back. In fact, I can't imagine a situation where I could make her seem like a healthy normal person capable of an intimate, caring, considerate, relationship. You can find better.

I'm "scared of getting hurt" and I would never do this to a guy!

You sound really nice. Please don't let her jerk you around like that. Cut off all contact with her and find someone that appreciates you.

Sounds like she's on and off meds. Not a good bet. Confused women or men are not what anyone wants.

I have to agree with this. Honestly, these are the women other women can't stand. They mess with the minds of nice guys, and then we have to deal with your trust issues after they've left you in the dust.

Tell her "No thanks" and find a good woman who knows a good man when she sees one. Yes, they're out there.
