Since she emailed that to you, I would question her maturity level.

why because it looks like she is going out her way to make me jealous?

Sadly enough, this is often true. Rarely will you come across a woman who makes her decisions alone and not by Girlfriend Committee. Frankly, it sets my teeth on edge when a woman can't make up her own damn mind. I can't even imagine having my best friend decided whether I'd go out with someone or not.

All jokes aside, tell her you're more interested in being exclusive, as FMR suggested. That alone will get things started a little better.

In a word, yeah. As LeisureSuit suggested, it looks like an "in your face" email. We could be wrong, though.

Call me old fashioned, but using email for something like that is childish. People have no social skills nowadays.

Maybe she's lying to you about this other guy just to make you jealous and she wants to see how you really feel about her. People are sneaky, cunning and shrewd.

Women are also very fickle and "for the moment." I'm not hating on women, but that's just the way it is.

Girlfriend Committee seems a better way to do it than soliciting the suggestions of random internet users. heh

It's not lacking any meat and thats what real women need.

That's why its best to not get bogged down by analyzing what she may be thinking or doing. Often times, there's no rhyme or reason. Just let your instincts guide you. If you like her enough and her being with another guy bothers you, just tell her that you wish you two were more exclusive.

By the way, when you canceled out on her, did you extend a firm offer for a reschedule (i.e., "let's go out on X night instead" as opposed to "maybe some other time")? If not, that might be what is causing her to craft that e-mail (I say "craft" since this was probably the work of her girlfriend committee). Canceling out without a firm offer for reschedule is often taken as a sure sign of cutting things off. After all, if you had asked her out and she agreed and then she came back to you a few days later and said "blah-blah-blah came up and I can't go out, maybe some other time", you'd probably take that as a rejection. After you two know each other and are more comfortable with each other, it would be more ok to cancel out without a reschedule since there would be an understanding that you 2 will see each other again. At the early stages, however, a cancelation without a reschedule is akin to a blow-off. Therefore, when you respond to her e-mail, you might consider saying "Sorry I couldn't make the other night. Are you interested in doing XYZ on Saturday?"

Best of luck!
