I don"t really see the point of giving someone advice on how to play the field when what they want is the girl they"re with. Just like girls can be wired different, so can dudes. Not all dudes want to run around fucking a new and different girl every weekend. That"s never been my style either. Not that I turn down every casual encounter that comes my way. But I certainly don"t go looking for them all that often.
I"m not sure if Needless had more backstory to his issues or not. If you"re three weeks in to "seeing" someone, does that mean you guys were dating or friends before hand, and had a conversation where you decided to be an exclusive couple on New Year"s? If so, then yes I"d say once a week after that when you were seeing each other more often prior is odd and not a good sign. It"s not odd when first dating someone to only see them once every week or two. That"s the pace I"m at with Annabelle, because our schedules don"t work at all. I"m gone most weekends, she has class Tues-Thurs evening, leaving basically Monday.
But when initially starting to date someone, that"s not necessarily a bad thing if there"s legitimate reasons for it. Two normal people SHOULD have at least some difficulty making time for each other more than once or twice a week, otherwise one or both of them obviously needs to get a job, friends, hobbies or a life in general. If one person is busy working 50 hours a week, taking classes/lessons/yoga in the evening three times a week, and has an active social life outside their relationship while the other person works 30 hours a week and doesn"t have much else going on, then of course the first person is going to quickly grow sick of the second one sucking up every moment of their spare time.
If she doesn"t have much reason for not hanging out other than just not wanting to or wanting to make the time, then unfortunately I don"t think there"s much you can do to salvage it other than make yourself less available and/or work on improving your life through whatever avenues interest you.
Livejournal entry ahoy!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:So I met Annabelle for dinner on Monday. We"d gone back and forth on Facebook seeing what day worked and what we wanted to do, and she suggested dinner that night. I called her the day before and asked if she had any preference and the general area to go to. She right away suggested that she might as well come downtown since I"m already there and there"s lots of places close by (seriously, I love my place for that, it"s so incredibly easy to be like "hey lets go up to my place and watch a movie" or something after dinner, a hockey game, concert, whatever). It was a good evening overall, I can tell she"s quite in to me. I don"t really know where it"s going, if anywhere, because obviously there"s the whole Anne thing still going on.
Speaking of which, I had texted a bit with her earlier in the week and said we should hang out again. She said sure, I asked when would be a good time to call in the evening because my texts kept getting rejected (more love for my fucking iPhone), she said "anytime." When I called her last night she was quite cheerful on the phone, which isn"t always the norm with her. Had the usual small talk, told her I was out of town this weekend and asked when would work for her, and again she said "oh any time", I made a joke about her being so available, she laughed about her lame life, I said I was going to the Blackhawks game on Tuesday (what else right?), she said she"d love to.
I"m fairly amused at this turn of events, especially how available she"s making herself. This weekend could potentially be good times, co-guiding a bus with half a dozen super cute asians that dropped by my Christmas party a month back with the other guide. I was standing there talking to someone else when a friend came up, slapped me on the back and said "good job with the entertainment, how much did they cost?" I had no idea what he was talking about, and he pointed to the group of them standing there in cocktail dresses looking halfway between strippers and hookers. Awesome.
