I want to be more than just friends, confused by her.
Well, I come here when I have relationship problems, and it's been a LONG time since I was last here, but of course, I have another problem, and it's different than anything that's happened to me before.
I met a girl who lives in Tennessee (I live in Colorado), through a friend of mine who met her online. Well, I've known her since November now, talked to her, she's wonderful and I'm always thinking about her.
Well, I went to visit her this past weekend and took her to her senior prom (she's 18) and we had a great time, she even said so herself.
The problem I have is that I've totally fallen for her, and she says she still sees me as just a friend. I asked her why that was, and she said she honestly doesn't know. Her friends said she was the happiest they'd ever seen her when her and I were at prom. They said she was glowing, she even said that I'd treated her better than anyone else ever had.
She's never had a boyfriend before, she's never been in love before, and my thinking is that she's just not ready, which is obviously what I'm hoping.
Her mother is over controlling, and tells her everything she's supposed to do. To get her mother to let me take her to prom, we had to lie to her and tell her that I went to college in TN, and that's how I met her. Well, when I flew back to CO Sunday night, her mother found out the truth and flipped. Now her mom took her computer away, took her phone away, made her delete all phone numbers of males from her phone, she has to go to her mom's work after school on her way home, she has to go straight home and call her mom from the house phone so her mom can see the caller ID so she knows that she's not lying about where she is. When she thinks she's not going where she's supposed to, she has her followed. They live in a small town, Crossville, and her mom basically knows everyone and she has no freedom of her own.
For instance, yesterday her mother told her that it's her decision if Tiffany (that's the girl's name) is ALLOWED to go to school at ETSU, and not Tiffany's choice to make. She also said to Tiffany, "You're mine, I own you"
So basically, my problem is I don't know what to think. If I should wait and hope that something could happen in the future, or if I should let it go, and forget about being anything more than friends with her.
I'm going to help her the best I can with her mother, cuz she wants to get out of there and away from her mother for good as soon as she can... which is why she wants to go to college over three hours away.
So any help and advice is much appreciated.
