I have liked a girl for while. We have known each other for a long time. We've been on two dates so far. The first one I had my arms around her in the cinema and she put her head on my shoulders. The second date was fine too. At the end, we were quite intimate. I kissed her on the cheek and chatted while holding her. Then we didnt talk for 2 weeks (I was really busy with revision and she also went up to scotland to see her sibling). When I texted her today, part of her reply was, ''so when we meeting up mate?'' I initially just ignored it. But in every following text she repeated the word 'mate' or 'friend'.
I assumed it as a signal that she might not really be interested. Besides, usually her texts were cute and implied she was interested. But today, it's like we are just pals. Tbf I was expecting a little more after talking to someone I like (and thought liked me back) after not talking to her for 15-16 days, compared to the texts we used to send each other.
She suggested we should meet up for a study day next week, so we revise together, which I at first agreed with. But, now if she texts me arranging a day, i'm going to reject it and be a little cold towards her, particularly if she continues this style of conversation.
I don't normally over think stuff, and I actually dont mind being called insulting teasing names but the fact that she kept saying 'friend and mate' numerously has bothered me. Do you think I have the right to be concerned? Do you reckon there is a reason for this change in tone of message?
THANKS GUYS. Really appreciate it
