i'm in my mid twenties and have a solid job now. She is 23 and just finished college. She moved back home after school while she looks for a job and took a job in the mean time in order to save some money. Oddly enough she is from a neighboring town to my home town which is over two hours from where I live now. I traveled to her town two weekends in a row and we spent most of the weekend together going on dates and such (I stayed at my parents) Then the third weekend she was up for doing dinner with some of my friends (a married couple). I ended up in a car accident and couldn't come up. The next few weekends things came up that didn't allow us to see each other. Then this past weekend I was home for easter and we met up for dinner. After the accident I felt like she may be pulling away a little but she still called me back quickly whenever I would call. At dinner I asked her how she felt about things towards the end of dinner. She said originally she felt ready for a relationship but had realized with the uncertainty of knowing where she was going in terms of finding a job and the distance that she didn't feel ready. I'm currently studying for a professional exam that is very demanding and expressed that I agreed it would be hard on me as well to take time on the weekends to travel the two hours and spend time with her. She said she loves spending time with me. I told her I had no plans to look around and that if I were to find time for a date I would like it to be with her. She then said to let her know if I were to change my mind. My question is did she lose interest or is there a fair chance that she does like me and feels like backing off for now? She has never had a serious relationship and seems very independent. I also texted her happy easter the next day with no response which I found surprising. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
