So, just looking for some clarity here.

I met a girl on Tinder (I know. Bad idea...) and we went out on a few dates together (like five or six). She was very quiet and didn't initiate texting or anything romantic, but was always receptive when I held her hand or kissed her. As I got to know her, I opened up to her that I didn't really have dating experience. She seemed ok with it and we seemed to be having a great time. We even talked about hanging out together during the summer and going camping and stuff. The last time we were together (almost two weeks ago), I asked if she wanted to go out again, and she said "Do you even need to ask at this point? Of course".

So last week I texted her and asked when she wanted to hang out. She responded that it was probably a bad idea and that she had recently started talking to someone else.

I was blindsided and I was hurt. Not really heartbroken, but I felt like I got a mean dent in it. I feel better now after focusing on my studies and hobbies.

So I'm not mad at her and I wish her the best (she made a choice and is free to make it), but I still can't understand how someone can flip that quickly. It was one week between the last date we went on and the texts. So, could someone help me figure out how things could change so fast?

How can a girl go from saying "Of course we're going out again" to "Sorry, but I'm talking

How could someone change their mind about dating so quickly? Did I make a mistake?
