I could really use some female perspective here. This past weekend I met a girl at a bar and we totally hit it off. We ended up going home together, we had a great evening, and in the morning, before parting ways, we exchanged phone numbers saying that we would get in touch to see each other again. There was some casual flirting via text message the next day and I told her I would call her later on in the week to set something up. When I tried calling her, I got her voice mail and left a messaging asking if she wanted to hang out some time. A day later I got a message from her, which just told me that she needed some time to fix her life up a little and even though she liked me, didn't want to start anything serious.

I realize that I was just "let down nicely," but I guess I am just confused as to why there was talk of meeting up again if she didn't want to. I wasn't looking to start anything serious yet either, I just wanted to get to know her better since she seemed interesting enough. How do I follow up on this? Should I take the hint and not respond? Should I pursue her and see if she has a change of heart? I've never been in this situation before so I could use all the advice I can get!

Do not respond. She'll find you if/when she's interested and ready to date. Of course when you were face-to-face she said she wanted to meet up again, that's only the polite thing to do.
It's likely an ex called or she had second thoughts or was cheating in the first place.
1Or maybe when she sobered up she changed her mind? You were a one night stand. If she wanted to hang out with you she would have answered your call or called you back. Don't call her you'll seem annoying and desperate. Talk to her if you see her at the bar though. She might sleep with you again.
2Take the hint.
3Maybe she's fresh out of a relationship. I used to collect phone numbers with no real intention of calling. I just liked the attention at the time.
Yep... she was just being polite. Move on.
4Yea she basically just said "I'm not interested anymore, stop calling me" Sorry, move on!
5It wasn't a hint. It was pretty direct.
Next time don't put out so easily.
6haha lol at popgoestheworld... i couldn't have said it better
7Your feelings were correct. She was letting you down nicely. Don't respond.
Protect your heart until you find someone who can do it better than you.
8It seems that she's letting you down easy. Just let it go, if she wants to contact you, she probably will.
*Unconditional love is a beautiful thing, just be sure to give it AFTER your conditions have been met.*
9She said she doesn't want to start anything serious, that sounds pretty direct to me too. Leave her alone, don't be one of "those" guys. You know, the ones who NEVER take hints and won't leave you alone for months even though you make it obvious you don't want anything to do with them...
10Welcome to my world.
11She's just not that into you.
12I'm assuming your "great evening" is your way of saying things got physical? Women often feel a very emotional connection to someone they've slept with (or even just hooked up with). At the moment, she likely did feel what she was saying. However, her being honest with you about the way she felt once she'd come down was her way of letting you down. Chalk it up to a good time, a lesson learned, and let it go. As others have said, if she wants to pursue something, she'll be back in touch. In the meantime, you deserve to be with someone who's crazy about you. She's out there; just keep looking!
13Maybe she was just looking for an ego boost?
14It's easier to tell someone you're not interested via text message than in person. That's why she said she was interested in seeing you again that morning. A lot of girls (myself included) have a hard time saying no when a guy asks for their number because they don't want to hurt the guy's feelings when they're standing in front of him. It's definitely not the best policy but it happens all the time.
I agree with not putting out so easily next time. If you had just hung out with her at the bar and then she had rejected you, you probably wouldn't care as much.
15I think she liked you too much and it freaked her out because she's not ready for a serious relationship. I've done the same thing before.
16Wait, did you have sex with this woman? If so, than, what would you expect?
17Put out all you want. Don't feel bad about that part please!
But you shouldn't call her back. She was being pretty clear.
18Don't pursue a girl who plays games.
19girls tend to feel bad about being "mean/truthful" to guys so they just act politely and play games. instead of saying "im not interested" or "no, i don't want to give you my number," they say "sure" or they give you their numbers. i'm not saying all girls do this, but a lot do, so.... she was just being polite, in my opinion. find another girl!
20I've done this. Gotten a guys number and never called. He was nice, but I just wasn't interested. I let him down "softly."
I say just don't bother her about it and if she's still interested she'll contact you in her own time.
21Let it go.
If you're looking for a serious relationship, the bar is not the right place to find the possible mate.
Goodluck!
22tsocolate: Just wanted to say that I disagree with you, I met my fiance in a bar and I almost didn't give him my number because I usually don't give out my # to guys. Anyways, I think it depends more on what that person is looking for, because some people just want drunken sex and others are in a place in their lives where they are ready for a relationship.
23However, usually sleeping with someone you just met is not a good idea if you are interested in a relationship. Although I am surprised that it happened this way, because it is usually the girl that wants more out of the situation than just sex.
OP Don't contact her again, next time take the girl on several dates before sleeping together if you are interested in more than a one night stand. Good luck to you.
I think she was looking for something far less than what you expected.It happens all the time.
She let you down easy so leave it at that, don't call her, and move on. Good Luck!!!
24Don't bother following up with her. Girls always want a man who touches base with them the next day and you did exactly that instead of leaving her hanging. Good for you on that part. It's too bad she wasn't looking for much in that meeting with you. Don't be discouraged about it, and don't let it get you paranoid with the ladies either. Many people have been through this, it's just a matter of what end of the rope you are on. She was trying to be polite about it, so I would just move on.
25to borrow the phrase....
26"she's just not that into you"
