I like a girl or rather, the more accurate definition would be, I’m 'attracted' to a girl. The point is, we had an 'enemies to lovers' dynamic, which I consciously accepted as a way to flirt with her. However, in our last interaction, she simply stopped playing along, and I didn't know how to talk to her. Interacting with her through that 'enemies to lovers' lens was like masking for me, so when she stopped following the script, I felt overwhelmed, confused, and humiliated.
Worst of all, the lack of feedback from her only intensified my masking and behavior, to the point where I became somewhat rude to her. The next day, I felt terrible, as if the 'character' had taken over. I felt like someone with zero emotional intelligence. The thing is... has anyone else gone through something similar? I’d like to hear about it if so.
