The signs are all there, but my two time Ex is not taking the hook.
Let me explain. About a year ago I had an on-again off-again girlfriend who we'll call Carey. She was a nice girl who I liked then, and now, a year later, it may be love. Anyways, we went out two times, once I dumped her another she dumped me. I moved away last summer, and I'm just now coming back.
She hasn't had any boyfriends since then, and she is a good looking, fairly popular girl. We've got to talking thru texting, and there is a HUGE amount of flirting. She even denied a guy to go out with her while we were texting, so I thought maybe she wants me back.
Well, we talked for about five or so days, and today she told me she thought I liked her. I did the usual song and dance, "I'll never tell." and all of that- not saying I didn't want her back, not saying I did. It all finally culminated around 7:00... She asked what I was up to, and why I sounded pissed. I bawled at her a little bit about why she keeps on asking me if I like her, and finally she just says, "I'm sorry, let's drop it."
I didn't really know what I was doing, but the man in me told me not to be a coward. So my reply was, "No, let's not. Will you go out with me?" A few tense minutes later I get a flat 'No.' (literally, nothing but No and a period..) and I just say thanks and bye. No more conversation.
What did I do wrong? Was I too forward, did I not give her enough time? I mean, we haven't even met face to face yet... Please, help. Any advice of what to say or how to salvage any bond we had is greatly appreciated.
Please, I'm a defensive linesman in highschool, I don't normally want to go to all this lubby-dubby stuff. But I've just got a feeling that I love her, like she might be the one. I know, yea, that most highschool love is never real... But please, just give me some advice.
Thanks.
