Hi, new here and looking for a bit of advice
Here’s my story
I met a girl in college about 7 years ago. I new the instant I saw her that she was for me and I needed her in my life. We got quite close but nothing really happened and after college we drifted apart.
About 6 and a half years later, thanks to the internet we got in touch again. She had just had a messy break up. She started calling me and texting me 20/30 times a day, but I was heavily involved in a project and didn’t have time for her at that time (which I told her). When my project was finished, we started hanging out but she said that the space I gave her made her realise that she needed her own space. Anyway, we got together at the beginning of December but then last week she said she made a mistake and wasn’t ready for anything but wants to be friends
Basically my question is this. If she wants to be friends, does that mean she’s waiting to get over her ex, then have a relationship with me?
I cant work it out. She has a very big heart, so I’m thinking that if we’re friends, then she cant start seeing other people because she knows that’ll upset me. I want to give her space but I don’t want to stop seeing her as because then she might think I don’t care about her anymore
Thanks in advance
