Here's a quick rundown of my current situation:
I met a woman who had recently broken up. She showed strong interest in me. She was the one to move our friendship forward, and has told me that she likes me. We were starting to get close (but not yet in a relationship) when the full weight of her breakup hit her- now she's separated herself from me and hasn't communicated with me directly in over a week.
She's been talking with some of her friends to help her get through things, who have then communicated through one of my friends that none of this is my fault- she would have fallen into her current state regardless. I've been told to ignore her and that if she tries to contact me I should also ignore her and let them know. The woman in question has recently commented positively on one of my Facebook posts and liked another but has not yet contacted me directly.
To me this says that her friends, who don't even know me, are telling her to stay away from me. They want me to act against my own best interests and turn her in if she tries to meet up again. Is this a correct assessment?
I'm finding it impossible to move on- her and I share more interests than I thought possible. We were very comfortable around each other both emotionally and physically before this happened. Early on in the separation I saw her walking back from the dining center and she gave me a wave with a forlorn expression on her face, as if she was missing me. Recently her FB status was "misses certain people a lot".
Do I still have a chance? What should I do if she tries to contact me? Is completely ignoring her the right course of action at this time?
This is very important to me- I'm convinced she's "the one". I've never in my life met a woman like her.
Thank you.
