V1 you were pursuing (again). You sent a flirty message "later chica" ... what where you expecting in reply from XW? "later hot stud" ??? She was being polite. Plain and simple. Nothing more to it.
Instead you fell back into the same old cycle of: "I think she liked it." ... Gee, gosh, willy-whiskers -- is that an opening I see?"
Ergo my response above. Future, his XW is not playing games. She has moved on, its V1 playing games and setting himself up for disappointment.
