      Don't worry about relationships right now. Enjoy your life as a single man and have some fun. Everything else will unfold itself naturally down the road. :)

          You're not even engaged and she's already in that place? Run, run fast. Now the disclaimer. Is she really complaining or are you being a b***h? Maybe she's trying to communicate with you like a well adjusted adult. (a)dinners->for you too, and to lead to c (b)drinks->for you too, and to lead to c (c)physical relationship->for you mostly (d)messages->depends on the messages, are they selfless or do you just want to know what she's doing or tell her what your day has been like? (e)spending time together->doesn't mean much if it's not selfless You haven't said anything to indicate you're giving her attention. You haven't said anything on the contrary either, but either it was the beer talking or your points were subconciously ambiguous.

                    I have to agree with most of the other advice here. 1. Concerning her list of demands...we don't live in the Victorian age, women are all empowered and such. Relationships go both ways now. Is she putting forth effort to do special things for you? Spend more time with you? If she just expects you to make everything happen around her while she soaks it up, that would be a red flag. 2. My rule of thumb is you give 'em an hour a day (on average). Maybe a bit more while dating. If that is not enough, then you are better off cutting your losses now. My best guess is that she is thinking the relationship is not progressing and is making a last-ditch attempt to see if it can be revived before giving up and moving on.

                          Dinner, beer, shag, dump. If she is too immature to realise that life is not a bowl of cherries, then get what you need from her and then get out.

                                She's showing her true colors before marriage. Consider yourself lucky. My advice: Get out. Get out now.

                                  A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer when all of a sudden he said aloud, "Lord grant me one wish". The sky clouded and a booming voice said, "Because you have tried to be faithful I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want to." The Lord answered, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time to think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me". The man thought for a long time and finally said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know what they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly happy?" After a few minutes God said, "How many lanes did you want on that bridge?"

                                  “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

                                    Well, I've found that when a woman learns I'm capable of licking my eyebrows, she usually doesn't complain, but rather lives in a world of hope. I therefore suggest another beer or three, followed by consideration an exercise program to learn the skill* * once technique is learned, the chances of procuring any woman's favors is greatly enhanced.

                                        Good point. He's getting clearer error messages than Visual Studio ever gave me, but still can't figure it out.

                                          Have a few more and it won't bother you so much. Seriously, either she's a needy, clingy whiner you're best shut of, or you're a neglectful, self-centered twit and she could do a lot better. There's no way to tell which with the information give, but there's a clue in the fact that, rather than talking it out with her, you're asking a bunch of geeks for relationship advice.
