What the hell happened?

The past month I have been trying to get over this woman. We had been talking for 3 months and all of a sudden it went dead. A little backstory;

I myself am a woman who recently found out I might also like other women. All of a sudden I meet this woman, she’s more on the masculine side, which attracted me even more. We live in the same city and had been eyeing each other for a while, but never really started a conversation. In these three months we went on 2 “official” dates. They seemed to go smoothly and I found myself liking her a lot. Because we live in the same city we often bumped into each other in clubs, or bars. After a while I started to notice that every time we were in the same place, I was the one to make the first move. Keep in mind that this is my first time dating a woman, and I was very nervous. At first I didn’t mind, because I knew she was a little shy. But eventually I also wanted her to come up to me and ask me for a drink instead of the other way around. She never really gave me clear signals and was pretty vague when I asked her what it was she wanted. This one night we both were at the same club. This particular evening I though to myself, do I want to consume my whole evening again, or do I just want to hang out with my friends? I chose the latter, in my mind I did decide that if we happened to bump into each other I would say hey and see where it would go from there. We didn’t bump into each other that night, because did not make a move either. Later that week I saw her an greeted her like I normally would and she acted very cold and distant, plus she was with another girl. I didn’t think much of it back then. I texted her to check if she was okay, and she basically told me to “get lost, bye bye”. Naturally I asked her if it had anything to do with the evening before. She said that I didn’t say hi to her and that’s she’s done with me.

Its been a month now and I still think about her every day. I dream about her. When I think about her my heart flutters, and then it aches because I feel hurt. We are not on speaking terms at the moment, and every time I see her she acts cold, rude and very degrading towards me. I keep thinking I should know better. Because the irony is that I have attachment issues and fear of abandonment at the same time. How am I still thinking about this girl? Why am I in it so deep? Why did she cut it off like that all of a sudden?

Please help Sad

@Bumblebye,
Therapy. Go.

You're right that you've got attachment issues (IANAD BTW).

But you deserve something better than to just be cut off for one evening's attempt to not be the one doing the chasing. She gave you what was essentially the nuclear option, and it was on a pretty flimsy pretext.

So to me it appears as if she was looking for an excuse to bow out and you unwittingly gave it to her.

But no matter what the reason is/was, you're not being treated well at all. Yet you are still ready to take more of her nonsense? Yeah, therapy is probably a good idea right about now.

Look at it this way. Let's say it wasn't you involved at all, but it was a friend of yours who was going through this. Would you want her to go through this?

If the answer is no, then take a good, long look in the mirror at the person who should be your best friend—you. Once you start to treat yourself like you would treat a best friend, I can practically guarantee that you wouldn't settle for this.

@Bumblebye,
Time to move on. You just can't figure out some people - their motivations or reactions. If she's being this way at the very beginning, who knows what will come down the road.

Go find yourself an uncomplicated woman you can be yourself with.
