Hi all, this is officially my second post on this forum after my introduction in the introduction section

You can read about me there as to save me time on this post
I've always held crushes from the age of 12 on-wards. Thinking that one girl owns my heart and I wanna be her prince charming, that she deserves the world and to be treated like a queen *facepalms* Like I said in my introductory thread, I don't engage much in the social scene, I just hold crushes and semi obsessive views on some girls. I've had the same feelings for about 5 or so girls over the course of said 8/9 years. Currently at age 21, I met a girl online and we got talking. She said she liked me. I like her too. We agreed to meet up and date and try give it a go. Thing is, I asked her out months after, and she gave me a really really lame excuse, and I now know she was kindly saying no.
Like I said in my opening thread, I do really like her, a lot actually, and what really gave me high hopes was her telling me she liked me, which blew me off my feet, as this was a first for me. I am now regretful of my actions over the last few months ; I treated her way too nice..I didn't show my cocky, teasing and confident side. We flirted loads...got her to dirty talk some, and was cocky and teasing at times.. coincidentally the best convos and reactions came when I was acting this way.
Don't ask me why, because, I pedestalized her, I said, she's the one, she's the most beautiful girl ever, and I continued to shower her with praise. You should hear the shit I've done for her, bought her phone credit once or twice, I wrote her a poem. I've only realized, even though she says "you're so lovely and I love you", "you're so sweet and you make me feel great"....she's fed up. I'm a tool. Literally. She knows, I've got this guy to run and cry to, who will always shower me with praise, who will always love me like a queen.
Last week or more, our convos have been total shit, she doesn't reply hardly ever, loses interest quick! So, I stopped talking just so prevent any further damage. She's the kinda girl who loves to be complimented...I know deep down she loves it....she says she is really shy..and she 's only opened up her feelings for me once, because she says she's just too scared to talk about her feelings. We chat on BBM, which, is on phone, to anyone not familiar, is always signed in. Now, BBM has a message notifier thing which you can see when the person you're talking to has read your messages,. She doesn't read mine for hours and sometimes wont even reply.
So I came to the conclusion, this girl is bored, I'm not stimulating her enough...but I know..deep down..I'm the best fucking guy she"ll ever meet or talk to...that's how cocky I am. She's stated I'm attractive, hot, and that she would like sex...so I know the attraction is there. To save my sanity, I haven't talked to her in a day or more..with no word from her.
What I want to ask is, what do? What's in my gut is, leave it for a while, play hard to get, when she talks, read her messages don't reply etc, update my BBM status to out, with other people, make her a bit jealous..talk selectively. But..I think what's best is to chalk this one up to a loss and move on...stop obsessing over one girl. The problem is I've already told her how I feel and showered her and came across as maybe needy and pushovery...is there ANY WAY, I can break down this image of me, and create a new one that I wanted to create from the start?! One that says yes I still am nice...but you only deserve it from me at the best of time, be cocky and blunt and neg/tease her. I've been too respectful of her to do these things, a huge mistake.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
