It seems like I've got off on the wrong foot in this new relationship and I worry that I like her more than she likes me (and that we both know it). I'm the one who asked to go exclusive (even though I was banging 3 other girls and she was likely seeing only me), so I've already made way more of a sacrifice, etc. She kind of negged me a bit when I asked to go exclusive by saying "don't you know by not I'm not the type of girl who would be sleeping with multiple guys?", etc. I also texted her "first" last night (to say 'good night, sexy') and then this morning (to show her my kale juice). She took 4 hours to reply to the juice text this AM.
Last night we had a misunderstanding about which I was right and she was wrong. She admitted as much via text but hasn't honored my request to "call me when you're off work". I am pretty sure she's been off work for a couple of hours and yet nothing. I am struggling how to show my displeasure or annoyance without seeming butthurt. Radio silence is my only real idea.
Basically I suppose I should initiate hard core silence and delayed text responses and then just be as alpha as possible when I see her next. But I'm worried that this isn't getting off to a flying start - this is my first relationship in over 3 years and I have been tearing up the dating scene. I waited for a girl of this caliber and was proud to have "snared" her - she's definitely relationship material - except for the way that I'm allowing her to behave.
Any advice/links appreciated
