Hi,
Well, I thought I had finally met the one. A super good girl whom I met at the airport. We started talking when standing in line and realized we were both taking the same flight. Well, as it turns out, we were both in the wrong line as well... very wierd. When we checked in, we also realized our seats were right next to each other. I ended up talking to her for about 4.5 hours that first day.
I started dating her and things were going great. Early in the relationship, I had found out that she had recently gotten out of a 4+ year relationship. I knew it would potentially cause an issue later on, but continued dating her anyway. The first month was wonderful. We spent tons of time together and would end up staying the night together frequently, without having sex.
About a month in, we ended up having sex for the first time. The next time I saw her, she freaked out, saying it happened too soon and that I should know we are just dating, that she isn't ready to commit. I was ok with that, and kept things as they were... hanging out 3-4 times a week. Well, we continued to have sex and a few weeks later, she freaked out again, saying the same thing, that we are just "dating" and she is not ready for a relationship. Once again, I told her it was ok, that I understood. Well, things continued to go well. I think I was in denial about her not wanting a relationship since we continued to spend so much time together. Finally, a couple months into this dating thing, I told her how I felt, and told her I wanted her to commit.
Well, this last Monday, after she told me she needed space to figure out if she was ready to take the next step with me. I started thinking, over analyzing things I'm sure. I called her Tuesday night and told her I wanted to talk. We did talk and I told her that if she had to think about committing to me, that I didn't think she was ready and that we should stop dating each other. It killed me to do it, but I did anyway (Having drinks that night didn't help, I think it was a bit of liquid courage...). We haven't spoken since, and I sincerely regret what I did. My question is this.. What do I do? How do I get this girl that I absolutely cherish back into my life without looking pathetic? I know that time will heal a broken heart, but I don't know how I can live with myself knowing I did one of the most stupid things I could ever do. Help. Thanks in advance.
