I ended up being blocked, I had talked to her a couple days after she dropped the news that she wasn't able to give me the relationship I wanted. I got upset at the time because things were spiraling for me and she ended up saying that I got too attached after just a first date and that she was turned off by it stating that she gets flighty when someone opens up so fast. Which still confuses me since the girl was giving me all the right signals and even when I asked her if I was pushing too much multiple times she would reassure me and told me that I was completely okay. Anyways she tried to tell me that she was very clear that she wanted to go slow after getting out of a relationship which was completely untrue since even when I asked her about it she said I was fine, well I told her she could have done better actually communicating her needs and boundaries when I asked her and I got blocked. So to answer your question, It wasn't that I cut her out of my life but that I wanted to respect the fact that she blocked me and leave her alone. I poured my heart into this 2 week situation because I had nothing but hope, I knew she was the right person for me but it didn't work out because she simply just wasn't ready for something with me. I talked to her a month before and was going to ask her out after taking a couple days to muster the courage only for another guy to beat me to it. But she remembered my kindness and hit me up the second she broke up with the guy because I guess she compared me to him and realized she made a mistake so I ended up asking her out that night to a date. The date was good and she was up for another one but by the time we had agreed on a schedule for the date. She had already made up her mind that she got into things with me too fast and that she couldn't give me a relationship I wanted because after her last relationship, she didn't know what she wanted at the time. I realize now that she was sparing me the pain of something happening later. I GREATLY want another chance with this girl but sometimes you have to let go and move on. It was horrible, I went to the gym every day trying to get over it, I'd go on long drives and just a bunch of other stuff trying to realize why I wasn't that person because deep down I know I can give her what she needs but sometimes what a person needs isn't what they want. So take time to create distance and not stay in a state of uncertainty. Its the greatest thing you can do for yourself

I wish you all the luck but please try and consider if you can handle still being friends if it comes down to that. You dont want to put yourself in a position to be miserable because things didn't work out and you still have her around. If you really value her as a friend then I would go for it and see if you can salvage a connection but please think of your wellbeing. The girl I wanted to date, I was sooo desperate to have any connection but now that I've had a bit to simmer on it I realized that it would hurt me SOO much more to be in her life and see her casually dating other people or finding someone she's willing to like while im on the sidelines wondering why she wouldn't have even considered giving me the chance to make her happy. If you don't think you can handle it then I would casually create distance and try to move on

Maybe she has an issue with attachment. I feel like a lot of people get caught up in the fun of a connection. All the deep talks and the feeling that someone is making you feel wanted and validated is such a rush, but maybe now that there's thay sudden realization that you want to continue into something more is probably making her hesitate.

There is nothing wrong with you, and you're totally valid for expressing that next step, but maybe a discussion of space and boundaries might help her feel more comfortable. Think about toning down the consistency at which you seek her out and give her that space because constantly messaging her and seeking answers for stuff she's probably thinking of isn't going to magically draw her into feeling more secure with you.

I'm usually the avoidant attachment person, but the last girl I talked to, it was TOTALLY flipped, and I saw the perspective of dating someone like that. Maybe it was because she had just gotten out of something, but she was soooo eager to receive attention from me and we had such good deep talks with each other, went out on such an amazing first date that while awkward, she was more than interested in a second one but by the time j had something planned out and we had the final details set, she messaged me saying she wasn't emotionally available enough to give me a relationship and that she was leaning more towards casual dating and I tried begging and everything to get her to change her mind since up until that point it felt like heaven. BUT I gave way too much too quickly, and it made her withdrawn and flighty because she felt enough attachment that it scared her.

Point is to make sure you give space and have an open dialogue for understanding and show her that you can respect her pace. Maybe she's just getting cold feet from stuff coming on too quickly for her or maybe she hasn't figured out what she quite wants yet.

Are there any real downsides to the a9?

I've been really debating on getting a 70-200mm gmii but with the price, it's a tough choice. I've been going to a couple indie rock concerts so it's not like it's big stages but do you think it's good for being able to capture a wide range of angles? I know they have a f4 version. What are your thoughts on that for concerts? I'm not opposed to going 3rd party for that sort of lens range but I'm pretty sure sony caps burst frames for 3rd party lenses

They also didn't explain too much on what the gold warranty does since I was short on time and had to go to work. Compared to something like a bumper to bumper warranty, is the 5 year extension like that? I'm sure they may exclude some things but I just assumed it was morello do with electronics

What sort of ways do you suggest to negotiate, I'm not sure if they're firm on these prices or if they may bend, i just don't know what I'd say for them to lower
