About a week ago I asked a girl out and we went from a yes to her saying I was sexualizing her before the first date. I don’t know, I am really just dwelling on this too much. After a few bad experiences dating back to back. I finally decided to poke my head up and I got this.

Context - we had been chatting on and off, on the work shuttle bus for the last 3ish months. I asked her if I could take her out on a date if that was something she wanted. Initially she acted a little flattered and said yes and we exchanged numbers. The texts pick up the next day.

I don’t know why but this makes me feel really bad about myself. I know I didn’t do anything wrong but I don’t feel that way

    Seems like a honest miscommunication. I don’t think either of you should feel bad, it just seems like y’all are on two totally different pages and because of that, wires got crossed. Don’t beat yourself up, it just isn’t a match.

    EDIT: FWIW text messaging may be the worst communication medium when you’re just getting to know someone. It is so easy for things to be misconstrued, especially when exchanging huge bodies of text. I always keep texts light until I feel like I know someone’s communication style well.
