Flash in the Pan Romance

The key is....you all went out 5 times..and as you've said...there was nothing more than kissing...

It just wasn't a match. You are throwing around these terms of "great romance"..."love"...etc. It was just some fun dates with a woman to see if you all had enough in common to go forward. You were falling unfortunately all by yourself.

She had fun with you...but that's it. Making this out to be something so much greater than it was keeps you from seeing people for who they really are and comparing other women to her when she was just someone who you dated 5 times who just wasn't that in to you.

I know it hurts a bit...but that's all it should be. Just a, "Oh well, didn't work out, next!"..

There is nothing to "hold on to" here..She has moved on, so should you.

This is what dating is all about, going out a few times to see if it's a match. Getting so emotionally invested by yourself is going to lead to this happening again.

As others mentioned on your other thread, it's also WAY too much pressure on someone to be having this big "relationship" talk after only 5 dates. This could have been the reason she ran the other direction.

It's one thing if you all were discussing exclusivity before having sex, this is perfectly fine. But asking where you see the two of you going...is going to come across too needy and yes, anxious.

So, dust yourself off, see this for what it really was, and move on to the next date...Good luck!
