I matched with a woman on a dating app. We ended up going on five dates, and texted everyday for a month.

There were signs that she wanted something long term and liked me.

– She would ask about my past relationships
– She would initiate physical contact

On the fourth date we spent Christmas Eve together and had sex. She said “you can sleep with other women, you just have to wear a condom with me” so it made me think she doesn’t want anything serious — I told her I only want to sleep with her and no one else , and she replied that she she likes me a lot and that i’m the only person she’s talking to currently.

On the fifth date she revealed to me she has a sugar daddy, it’s just pictures not sex. I was in shock, and she said she could tell by my face that i was upset. I told her i didn’t care , she said “i would stop talking to him for you” and i said i don’t care. The date went on as usual and I went home.

I would always text her goodnight after i left her apartment , but I didn’t that night. The following morning she said good morning  , and i did not respond. I responded 8 hours later and was very short with her.

I felt guilty so the next day, i sent her a text saying i miss her, and i hope she is having a good day , and she sent a rejection text “Hey i’ve been thinking about some things and i don’t want to lead you on, i don’t think i’m feeling what you are feeling and i don’t want things to develop further and have hurt feelings”. I tried to contact her the next day, but she pretty much just said the same thing that her feelings just aren’t developing and it’s nothing I did.

Here is the reality of things, it was only a month. People lose feelings sometimes, especially in such an early relationship. We were never official, so I didn’t feel right about telling her what to do regarding the sugar daddy thing. I could have had better communication

I just want to ask, do you think she rejected me before I could reject her?  Did I push her away?
Did she genuinely just lose feelings?
