>>On Tinder
>>Met a qt latina with a masters degree in art history. I don't think anything of it although she seems pretty cool and hip.
>>Make her laugh with a cheesy pick up line and we start asking each other questions
>>We talk for two days including over the phone and we get along amazingly. She likes the same music as I do and we have the same kind of humor and interests. We even grew up within miles of each other. Easily the most compatible person I've ever met.
>>"Anon, what's your favorite book?" I tell her it's the Stranger by Albert Camus. She is shocked because she just ordered it and can't believe we're so similar. I ask hers and she says Nausea by Jean Peal Sartre.
>>I order Nausea partly to read it, partly because I never got into Sartre even though I like Camus, and partly because she has so much in common with me I figure I must like.
>>We go out on a Friday night. We got to a microbrew, jazz club, and then get dinner. It feels like the perfect date. She was into it, into me and had fun all night. Almost kiss all night but I didn't go for it because she didn't seem like the kind of girl that would be into that with someone she just met. We talk until 2 am before she takes off.
>>I think it goes well. She texts me excitedly right after she left. We keep talking for another two days. Getting along great. We make a date for Tuesday to go watch a movie.
>>Next day radio silence. I think it's odd but since I'm a grown man with responsibilities I chalk it up to life.
>>Next day she sends me a text saying she was only testing the waters to see if she could see herself in a relationship or whether she wants to be single. She says she doesn't want to lead me on. She then proceeds to ghost me. I get pissed off mostly because I actually would have been cool just being her friend since I never met many people who like all the same stuff I do, and I thought she just jumped to one hell of a conclusion. I have no choice but to shrug it off.
>>Nausea by Sartre arrives. I decide to read it because I already bought it and she recommended it.

Holy shit, what the fuck is this garbage? Am I just reading it wrong or is Sartre just a whiny bitch? I thought Absurdism was supposed to be existentialism with a hopeful slant and not just a middle-aged guy going through a mid-life crisis talking about how nothing matters despite making it painfully obvious he's just a robot in the 1930s.

>>Alone in my room
>>Halfway through Roberto Calasso's masterpiece Tiepolo Pink I see a "charming portrait of a young woman in a cloak whose hood is ruffled by the wind and who seems to have been pictured as she sets of in romantic trepidation and a hint of anxiety to a clandestine love tryst", portraying "Lydwine of Schiedam, who lived in Holland between 1380 and 1433 and has been renowned since for the strength of her faith, which permitted her to bear with abnegation terrible sufferings, following an accident that occurred while she was ice skating".
>>The glow of her cheeks, the charming gleam from the corner of her eyes, the way she tosses her head gracefully to the side, and all the beauty which art has endowed to this disfigured woman, whose strength of spirit can be seen in a single glance, and whose reputation lives centuries after her demise makes me laugh, although it touches my heart with a kind of muted sadness to know that she lives not. Looking her up on wikipedia, I realize she was born only several kilometers of my own home town
>>I think about her for the next two days. I invent a kind of fantasy where she likes the same kind of music as I do and we have the same kind of humor and interests. She is easily the most compatible person I have ever dreamed.
>>I invent a mental tulpa of her and, one day while taking a walk together along the riviera she asks me "Anon what's your favorite book?" I tell her it's A Rebours by Charles-Marie-Georges Huysmans. She's shocked because her favorite author is Léon Bloy and she can't believe we're so similar.

>>"Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church" by Bloy arrives. I decide to read it because I already bought it and she recommended it.


What is this garbage? "The worst thing is not to commit crimes but, rather, not to accomplish the good that one could have done. It is the sin of omission, which is nothing other than to be unloving, and no one accuses himself of it." I just want to retreat to my tiny digital simulacrum of reality. I thought life was supposed to be nihilism with a hopeful slant and not just a generation going through a mid-zeitgeist crisis talking about how nothing matters despite making it painfully obvious they've simply retreated from the spiritual world of genuine human interaction for cheap gizmos, anonymous sex, and constant mass produced affirmation by profit driven corporations using algorithmic data tracking.

She has commitment issues. It's very unlikely it's something personal if you're accurate in your assessment of the date, how well it went, etc. It's very likely she got fucked over in a relationship before you dated and she's experiencing a sudden spike of anxiety and ahedonia in reflexive defense.

You should text her and tell her exactly what you said in the second to last line and tell her that you understand if you didn't already fuck everything up by getting pissed at her.

What you do then is you just enjoy her as a friend and if she wants a relationship make her pursue you because she needs to be the one making a positive decision rather than passively accepting a relationship, which is how you get over commitment issues.

>> No.10926603

Not OP but I'm unironically over the games women play and decided that none of them are different or capable of listening. I've been in a couple relationships and just got out of one that was as stereotypically bad as the rest of them. Women are inferior, plain and simple. Probably going to get into Otto Weininger and then live the ascetic/celibate life. I really tried to be liberal and see things as if God created us all equal but sometimes truth just screams at you until you hear it.

Two wonderful posts, anon. Must object to your referring to Tiepolo Pink as Calasso's mp, however.

Just sayin'.
