I posted a thread about this earlier, but thought it might be helpful to make a more specific one on how to recover. Here's my situation. I've been seeing this girl things were good then like I said in other threads our last date ended kinda awkwardly when I was sick. I've played it cool haven't been needy at all, but the last few convos I had with her the things I did and said I viewed as leading, but looking back they could be viewed as trying to hard. Example I made what I meant to be a nice gesture, and said if she was gonna be around I'd bring her some chicken soup. (She's sick) no reply. So once I figured things out asked a couple friends got some advice on here I realized ya maybe that did seem try hard, so I stepped away. My theory is give it some time if she saw me as trying hard/needy and I chase right now. Thatll only prove her right. If I step back, and don't chase she could think oh maybe I was wrong maybe he was just making a nice gesture. Now I've got my abundance mentality back I've got 3 dates lined up for this weekend. I hope things work out with this girl, but I'm not gonna oneitis myself. My question is how long should I wait to re establish contact? I'm thinking a week then send a simple, but properly worded text along the lines of hey what's new and exciting in your world?? Then once convo is rolling move into a phone call. Just my opinion though. As always any advice is appreciated thanks!!
