Well I don't date anymore, but episodes like this are one of the reasons I gave up on dating in general.

Well look on the bright side! You got a response, and got to the point where you exchanged phone numbers! I mean come on from what I hear on the dating advice forums that's further than most men who look for a date online get!

But let's talk about her.

Maybe she has a boyfriend?

Maybe she is nervous becuase she keeps hearing about the rapists on Myspace, and thinks you're one of them.

Maybe she saw your pic and thought you look like Pirates of the Caribbean Orlando Bloom and not Lord of the Rings Orlando Bloom.

Maybe she really is a spam bot. Did she send you links to "free" porn or give away naked pictures of herself?

But you will just go nuts trying to figure out the whys. The important thing to realize is that this particular girl was really not that into you.

If she was, her boyfriend wouldn't have mattered, or she would have thrown caution to the wind and decided to take that chance and go out for some free coffee with a guy who doesn't look like Johnny Depp.

I'm a hopeless romantic. I keep hoping that one day my princess will come and see past my rough exterior or my lack of a career, and see that deep down inside I really am prince charming and a wonderful guy. See, that's when you know a girl is into you. She can see past your faults, or even romanticizes your bad traits and is willing to take that chance.

Love is stupid like that.

Your clue that she wasn't interested in you was that she never called you. You called her, the ball's now in her court. There is absolutely no good excuse not involving a hospitalization for a woman to not return a call. Period.

But my advice is to just sever your ties with her. You want her for romantic (or be honest a sexual) intentions, and well it just ain't going to happen. Move on and find at least another 10 girls before even thinking of calling her again.
