What sucks is I'm pretty much used to this by now but this is the first girl I've met in person and not on a dating app. I avoid using apps after my previous experiences. I quit my job at the end of last year and started a new one in January through a temp agency which is where I met her. We started talking and exchanged numbers though when Covid 19 first started getting serious and she eventually quit cause she's living at home with a mom who is a nursing assistant and was too stressed out about catching the virus and spreading it. Our first week of texting, it became clear quickly that she really liked me a lot but things quieted down from her end super quickly once she started playing some MMO game and turns out pretty much every friend she has she has met online through servers and games. Kinda cool and also lucky to have something like that during a quarantine, but when I asked her if she could do another webcam chat sometime with me (we did it once during week 1) or maybe go on a walk 6 ft apart, she responded "we'll see" cause I guess one of these guy friends of her recently revealed he had feelings for her but she says she probably would have said yes under different circumstances. Thought that was it, but then days later she texts me saying I came up in conversation when talking to her dad and she sent him my picture and apparently he was like "you have my blessing." And later in that text convo she was sending me selfies and asking my opinion on her hair styles over the years. After that, things got quiet again and I really wanted to talk to her over the weekend and I think maybe my neediness came out. She was really adamant about being too busy with her game and her online friends and ended up explaining how else they hang out and do other stuff online and chat and I think it was meant to be a "not that its any of your business" tone if texts had tones. Haven't heard from her and getting the feeling I won't again.
After writing this out, I'm guessing it all seems a little too weird and wouldn't have worked out anyway. I've been single for so damn long though and last time I had sex was like 2 years ago. This chick even sent a nude once. I'm 32 btw and she's almost 27 in like 2 weeks. I'm alone, no friends, stressed out about my hours at work getting cut due to Corona. I'm a total wreck right now and just needed to vent in a public forum I guess to feel a little better.
