Over the Christmas holiday I attended a choir reunion at my church that gets hosted every year on Christmas Eve. Basically we all get together to sing Gloria Vivaldi during the Christmas service. We get to see a lot of old friends who have left town to pursue college and whatnot. There's a lot of cute girls who go there and who would be returning for the reunion. However, when I got there, most of the girls didn't give me a second glance, even after over a year of separation. Except one. As I was grabbing my hymnal, I noticed this one girl sitting down in her seat. We locked eyes, she smiled, and she waved at me. This girl is really cute, but I wouldn't say we were close friends, mainly because she hung out ALL the time with my ex-girlfriend. However, we both were always involved in church activities, from starring in musicals to just having fun at various locations in the city. As I acknowledged her wave, I sat down in my seat and the night progressed.
Afterwards, me and my family headed out for the night. Then I saw her leave. Without a moment's hesitation, I instinctively walked over to her. I at least wanted to say goodbye to her before probably never seeing her again. We hugged and we talked for a bit. Then.... she told me that she was going to college only thirty minutes away from my base. I was super shocked and excited to hear this. It's such a relief to have a familiar face around in this setting. I told her we should hang out, and she agreed. At that point some of our friends came out and joined the conversation before we parted ways.
I really felt something between us when I talked to her. I've always thought she was cute and wanted to spend more time with her, so I've started talking to her on Facebook. I can't see her now because I've already returned home and she's still on her break. But whenever we talk on FB, that feeling I had when we talked just isn't there. She isn't particularly chatty, and I've had to initiate the conversation every time. Quite bluntly, it sucks, and she doesn't seem interested anymore. I even messaged her saying we should hang out before I go back and she didn't respond. Did I misread her signals when I saw her over break? She could just be acting shy, which I know for a fact she is. What should I do in that situation if she is?
