There was a girl who was showing great interest for a while (daily texting, asking for meetups...etc) and things were going well... until she met a buddy of mine in one evening outing, they clicked well and conversed about many things (he's way more extrovert and conversationalist than me); her interest in me dwindled next day (texts, calls...suddenly almost zero) and switched entirely to this guy, her facebook activity on his profile was crystal clear lol - and they seem were hanging out together I've been only seeing her in group outings ever since, I moved on.

To make a long story short, the guy blocked her contact for some reason, - couple of weeks later - her interest in me re-initiated as before, she even told me "there's no two like you" - yeah, right, it took her one evening to replace me.

I was supposed to have a date lunch + cinema with her today (holiday) that she set and suggested but luckily all was postponed due to an urgent summoning I had from work.

I am not feeling comfortable with this situation, I feel that the only reason why she's interested in me again is because I am her only option...for now, does she take me for granted? A plan B guy? - what guarantees that she won't switch interest like she did before?

She sounds like a fickle piece of s**t.

I'd say go for it. /sarcasm

I don't think there is any guarantee. It's the same with fair-weather friends: enjoy them if you want, but be prepared for them to disappear when things get serious.

Personally, I wouldn't tolerate being literally the fall-back girl. Maybe it would be okay if I wasn't the one who first caught their eye, but not the one they saw, forgot about, and then came back to once rejected. That's a rejection in itself (choosing someone else), and if the only reason they un-rejected me was because they couldn't get the one they really wanted then my value in their life would be pretty clear.

I didn't post this thread to see her being insulted.

But yea, I think she was fickle, I agree on that part.

I made up my mind, I will reject her and will tell her why.

I'm sorry that happened to you Boo. For what it's worth I think your handling it well.

I think you've done the right thing. The last thing you want is a relationship with a crap foundation.

Ehhhh, she sounds a bit fickle, don't you think?

Honestly, it sounds like she's the kind of girl that's looking around. Yenno, going on dates with multiple people at once. But who am I to say that? I don't know her. Just assuming from a first impression.

But yeah. Seems you're not taking it very well so I say ditch the girl.

NOTHING guarantees this girl (or any girl) won't switch interests like she did before. It's always a possibility.

Also, if you weren't dating her EXCLUSIVELY (ie discussed it & mutually agreed to date exclusively), then umm you don't get to b***h about her "leaving" for another dude. Youve got no claim to her.

If you're not comfy hanging out with or dating her, decline her invites. An invitation isnt a subpoena!

^ Are you a lawyer? You talk about this subpoena s**t in almost every post.

It's not a matter of what I claim, or entitlement or exclusivity or any of this s**t, but the very fact that she has this mental capability to switch feelings/crush from one person to another in no time scares me - I have the free choice to reject her for this reason.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to. I'd probably go anyway, just to see how things go down. It probably wouldn't have worked out anyway, since she seems a bit fickle. Maybe she thought they had a better connection and they both realized they didn't, or she upset him. Hard to say.
