Re: 21st century phone etiquette or rudeness?

I'm not pursuing an open relationship and neither was she years ago. It's just that at that point of time, I didn't try to commit to her and vice-versa. We were engaged at one time 8 years ago.

I figure she definately doesn't want a relationship with me so I'm trying to take the pressure off of her by making it seem like simple dating. She said things to me such as "I'm too busy for a relationship. I haven't slept with anyone since you last year" but not with that tone of voice that indicates that she was trying to clue me in that she wanted any involvement with her.

I think that she's playing games and ever since she's been thin vs. overweight her interest in me has dropped. She claims it's because she's so busy but I think that's a lie.

I just wanted to date and it would've been nice to get the truth instead of what I suspect to be an excuse.

I've tried saying "I'm never talking to you again" last year after displaying such aloofness only to get back in contact with her. So knowing that she would be a danger of threating a friendship or dating with her isn't enough of a threat to make her treat me better. I think that she could care less.

Should I just drop all contact if she attempts to contact me like some friend? When I was on a date with her 4 months ago, I said that I wasn't going to be some plutonic friend nor was I pursuing a relationship. She agreed to get physical and have an overnight date. Yet a few days before that she came up with an excuse just honoring the going to the movie part of the date saying that she allotted only 4 hours to our date. Just obnoxious in my opinion.

Here I am 2 months later getting the same type of BS.
