The woman I planned on hooking up with hasn’t contacted me since I blocked her after we had a small dispute. What should I do now?

You blocked her. She took home the message you don’t want to see her anymore. Why should she waste her time chasing someone who doesn’t want to engage?

Something about what she did or said got right up your nose and you took definitive action to have no further contact with her.

If you later decide what you did was petty and unfair and you still want to see her, you’re going to have to make the first move and explain why you fly off the handle over relatively trivial disagreements. Trust me, that won’t look good to her. It appears passive-aggressive and small-minded in general. Do you get off on having people prove their desire for you by setting up fake little challenges? That’s immature, at best. Plan on eating a lot of crow; plan on this being a lost cause; plan on seeing someone else.

If the dispute was about something truly offensive to you, then it wasn’t a small dispute. Something about what she did or said made you realize you have a major conflict and incompatibility with this woman. If this is the case, you should look for a woman who mostly fits your ethics, beliefs, and behaviors rather than pretending not to be put off in order to save face.

If what you disagreed about revealed an uncomfortable truth about yourself that you weren’t ready to deal with at the time, then take this as an opportunity to change for the better. You can explain this to her or not. If you do, she may or may not forgive you. In any case, move ahead with your self-improvement plan.

All the best.
