Bartm I agree that the honesty and feedback is helpful though I still disagree on her attitude about the flowers. She pretty much is asking for gifts after only 2 dates and then if I don't ever get her them in a clueless douche or if I later do like I did it's only bc she 'opened her mouth'. Puts me in a no win situation. Should I really be showing up with flowers for a girl on only the second date? She really wants someone to placate herr low self esteem, that's what it comes down to. She was abandoned by her father so that's why needs gifts, compliments etc at a more intense rate. She badly wants to feel validated, wanted, and accepted. She is high maintenance, entitled, and ungrateful which was bothering me even before this message. It's a learning experience and prob best we go our separate ways and I'm a better man off with this new knowledge
I agree that her expectation of getting gifts after 2 dates is bullshit.
If I were you I would send her a message thanking her for the lessons. let her know you appreciate her honesty and she helped you grow as a man. then leave her alone.
like I said it's rare to find honest girls like that, most girls would have told you "sorry at this point I am not ready for a relationship" or "sorry my hamster just died" and you would have been confused as fuck what happened.
keep on trying with other girls and in a year you will have a lot more experience and look back and laugh at today. I guarantee you.
and just FYI, I can relate to you, I am shy and suffer from social anxiety too. I can totally see myself getting a text message like that.
