You don't know for sure she changed her mind. She may just be busy getting ready for her trip or not be a big texter. Some of my best friends don't like texting and it takes days for them to reply to me. It isn't because they don't like me, texting just isn't a priority for them. She did reply and she did say yes to hanging out again. Just try to relax. If she has changed her mind it probably has zero to do with you. Maybe she met someone else or decided for whatever reason she doesn't want to date. Don't take it personally.

Hey man, I am not trying to put you down or anything, I think you are way better than most guys here but this sounds a bit too innocent! I don't know how many relationships you have been but if there is one thing you need to learn about women is :THEY CHANGE THEIR MINDS ALL THE TIME!

By the way you express yourself, I am assuming you are either a young guy or maybe you are not that experienced with the opposite sex, but once you understand what I typed in CAPS, it will save you a lot of frustration and disappointment. I think you have potential, you just need more experience.

This assumes that there are multiple people out there in the cyber-dating world that meet the OP's criteria, high level of education being one of them. Frankly I'm amazed he found someone with an M.A. who has a lot in common with him and seems nice on a dating site. It's just as hard to find compatible people in online dating as it is in real life.

But seeing as how he's stuck waiting until next weekend, he may as well pass the time scouting for other possibilities. He needs a distraction to keep him from going batty.

Well, although I have not contacted her since Tues, have yet to hear from her at all, so I'm thinking she's a flake.

But you know she's going out of town. She may just be preoccupied and a guy she's been on one date with isn't a priority right now. Find something to distract yourself with like Ruth suggested. And then call her and invite her out once she's back in town. Then you'll have a real answer. Please relax!! You're going to drive yourself nuts!

You need to quit this over-analyzing bit... do that IRL and women WILL run away. It reeks of major-league desperation and insecurity. Get some other things going in your life.

Repub is right. Women change their minds all the time. I'm not saying that she has but don't forget that. Personally, I wouldn't call her while she is out of town. If you two had as good of a date as you said, then I would wait to see if calls me while she is out of town. You've already contacted her. If she is thinking about you she'll hit you up.

these guys do have it right, hawk. Go out see if you can find yourself another date for this weekend. She will still be there when she gets back from this trip, or not - no reason to put all your eggs in one basket. Not to mention, most women you date actualy find it challenging and attractive when a guy has several options. To them it means, there must be something about him that more women want.

Though it pains me...I somewhat agree with you. Women can be pretty fickle sometimes. I don't want to play games, but there is something unattractive about a guy who is sitting around obsessing after only one date. If this woman knew how obsessive you were being I guarantee you she wouldn't see you again.

This is it. You need to occupy your time with something, or you'll go crazy.

Premature to write her off, and unfair, if, indeed, she's busy with her job, and going out of town. If next weekend doesn't work out, unless she's sick or something, maybe then you'd be justified in writing her off. But for now, you have no idea what's going on, except that she's packing for an out-of-town trip, probably work-related. What if the tables were turned, and you had a big conference to go to on the weekend, and some chick you'd only just met kept texting you? Would that be annoying? I'm hoping it all works out in the end. Until then, find something to do.
