    Was her status aimed at me?
    I know I may be being extremely paranoid here but I just want some outside views.

    I haven't been in contact with this girl since uni finished about ten days ago. We would text each other A LOT, most of which was her initiation, but now we don't - we haven't spoken for about two weeks. We used to be awkward around each other in person; but over text quite flirty and teasing each other.

    Anyway yesterday I updated my BBM status (first time in months). About an hour later I see she did the same, putting a comment and then a couple of sad faces. As with me, she hardly ever updates her status. It may be pure coincidence but it just surprising that she did immediately after me.

    Do you think it has anything to do with me? I feel so childish asking lol. And would it be strange if I were to ask why she's sad even though we haven't spoken for almost two weeks.

    Now would be a good time to get talking. Just ask her why she is sad since it is in her BBM status.

    But don't you think that would be asking at a time when she may be upset for reasons other than me?

    And surely if she wanted to contact me, she would have.

    If she's upset and she's your friend then surely you want to contact her and make sure she's ok...?

    And surely if she wanted to contact me, she would have.
    Yeah, you're dealing with female psychology here, assume nothing.

    As you said it is mostly by her initiation, maybe she is upset and she wanted you to ask her rather than her tell you. She might feel like she is pestering you by always texting first. There are a multitude of reasons why she hasn't contacted you already.

    Send her a text, ask her what is the matter and if there is anything you can do to help, it will most likely resolve your questions.

    You can still be there as a friend to see if she is ok

    Perhaps she wanted to give you room to start something first as you said it was always her initiating everything

    Well its not like you can become psychic and find out.

    Either ask her and know
    Or dont ask and speculate.

    She is the one holding the golden ticket to her status, not us.

    Why do you always expect her to initiate a convo? Maybe it was about you...maybe she's fed up of not getting anything back from you when she gives and gives. Girls like attention (the good kind)...it makes us feel noticed and important.. Text her.

    I don't expect her to; I also do at times. But it's just that with there being no reason to text I'm wondering whether she'd want to hear from me.

    Yeah, it's just the way I am. I don't wanna bug the girl when I'm probably no longer in her thoughts.

    Youre asking her a question, not 'bugging' her.

    It would be helpful to know what these status's actually said, hers could be aimed at something totally not to do with you?

    What are you doing, grow some balls and text her!

    In the words of another poster, 'sheeesh'.

    Just talk to her. You wouldn't want to regret it later on.

    No she just said it for the f***ing craic didn't she! :facepalm:
    I'm not doubting there being a reason for her writing it. I just wanna know if it had anything to do with me because she never updates her BBM status but did after I did.
