Hey guys, thought I'd leave a message here just to get some ideas from you about what you'd do next in my situation. I'm 17 turning 18 and she's the same age.
After a few months of dating, my ex broke who I felt strongly for, broke up with me. This was about seven weeks ago. She told me that although she still liked me, we were arguing too much and said upfront I'd grown overly-jealous. This was correct.
After a few days I sent her a message accepting I had made mistakes. I told her I would work on my issues and wanted to stay in her life. We spoke after that for a few days but I quickly realised that I was headed for the friendzone, for lack of a better word, and told her I needed some space to cut off contact.
During the following no contact period, which lasted for about two weeks, she often would try to message me. I would kindly tell her I wasn't ready, which I wasn't. She seemed to want me. However, when I broke the no contact period, she was very cold with me. She was obviously hurt by my absence. Despite the grudge she held, we met up in a cafe.
The meet up went fairly well, I was blunt and honest with her. I told her that I would, not today, but eventually, want a relationship and if that did not happen it would be best if we left eachother in the past, which I believe would hypothetically be for the best. She told me she was still physically attracted to me but thought getting back together was unlikely. We had a lot of fun that day and she told me it cheered her up.
I began gently flirting after that, careful not to rock the boat too much. We were making slight progress until a few days ago when I insinuated that she could hypothetically make out with someone else if she so pleased and I could do the same and she took it as an accusation. I apologised for this and told her I needed a few days more space. We were going out together in a few weeks for a night out a party, but now she's cast doubt into it.
What would you do now TSR?
