I dont know what she means..

I've known this girl for a month now and we're almost always together. Yesterday she told me to come down to her apartment and it was great. We've not been physical until yesterday.. She was sitting really close to me so we kissed and then talked for ages, I left the apartment at 5AM in the morning, we talked for that long. She told me alot of personal things which I doubt she told anyone else. Everything was going great. Today she was really standoffish, I tried hugging her a couple of times but it was quite one sided. She made an effort to hug me once throughout the day which was a semi-shoulder hug thing. Also, She was carrying some really heavy books, I offered to carry them for her about 5 times and she didnt let me do it. It was so obvious she was really tired I really wouldnt have minded carrying them. She's going on a mini-vacation for the weekend and was going to the airport, and before she left she said, 'Thanks for <insert everything i've done for her> and everything else' and then she smiled and left. After about 10 minutes I sent her a text telling her to have fun and take care and I didnt get a reply. I really dont know what she meant by all this and was this final thank you comment made to express a 'thank you, and goodbye'? I'm really confused.. Help!

Ask her... btw most people turn their phones off at airports so she may not have got it or been able to reply!

Maybe she has feelings for you, but has attatchments somewhere else, or maybe is confused about her own feelings. When she gets back, get her on her own and talk about it! :biggrin: xx

well you can't use your phone on a plane so maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe she'll txt you back later or something

It might have been a thanks for being there but shes trying to tell you it's not going any further, the kiss was just in the moment perhaps. Wait til she gets back when she has thought about it for a few days :smile: x

You know her personal information...is there anything in her past that make you feel like that. she might feel vulnerable because she told you so much stuff she might think you could use it against her, or taht she doens't know the same about you so you have one over on her. altenatively she may have had relationships go stale in the past and feels uncertain now that you did what you did last night. think through what she told you, maybe there's something in there

She was going to the airport in an hour, and I texted her 10 minutes after she left for her flat. So I dont know why she didnt reply.. that's the problem. Knight-of-Ni you might be right, She's quite innocent (That's what I love about her.. She wouldnt hurt a fly, ever) so she might be confused. But how can you explain all the other behaviour?

Maybe she's treating you as her close friend and doesn't want it to go any further. Do not think too much about the kissing; in some cultures this is done often as a form of greeting. I've seen many females kiss their fathers in the mouth and it doesn't mean anything sexual at all.

It could be she need a sympithetic ear for the evening and needed someone to be there for her that evening.

It was quite an intimate kiss, Hair playing and all that before it. And she's always trying to get physical (She's always walking painfully close to me, trying to rub against me) but when I do get physical, she's kind of reluctant to participate.

Yeah.. she knows nothing about me basically but she said she 'likes the mysterious side of me'. And to the person above, How could that thanks mean she doesnt want it to go any further? please tell me?

How you asked her if she's been molested in her past? It sounds like she's not willing to have sex with you so she's backing off everytime it gets near that.

Maybe she feels that you're slightly rushing things. It's only been a day since you kissed and you're already worrying that it's over.

I think she wants to remain a virgin until marriage, lol.

I didnt ask her anything. I didnt even start the conversation. In the middle she started talking about really personal stuff. She just texted me by the way, She forgot her phone in her apartment!! Phew.

Bet she didnt. That's the ultimate excuse. She quite clearly doesnt want to be around you anymore and has no emotional attachment to you.

lol evil tuna are you joking? I don't think it means that at all. She spewed all that stuff to you i think its your turn to spew stuff back. That's how it works, maybe if she gets bored and doesn't want to hear your stuff then you can conclude she's one of those girls that just thinks about herself and expects everyone else to listen, don't give up hope yet :p:

erm i just got +rep saying 'why', was it from the OP? cos il PM you if you want?

To be honest I wouldn't let a guy carry my books, or pay for anything no matter how tired or skint I was. And it wouldn't be because I didn't like the guy but because I like being independant and doing stuff on my own.

Maybe she's confused? She told you lots of personal stuff and then now she might be wondering if it was the right thing? I've done that and then kept my distance from guys so I can work out what I want.

With my ex boyfriend I'd hug him and kiss him when he came round but in public I wouldn't hold his hand or walk close to him or anything. And I don't know why I did it...I just did.

Don't text her whilst she's away unless she texts you and just see how it goes when she gets back.

yeah carrying books is stupid girls feel weak and needy if you do that for them, unless they're using you.

i love having guys carry stuff for me its great. over christmas last year i didnt carry my own shopping once in about three weeks because friends/my bf kept doing it for me :smile:

on the other hand if im carrying something heavy its kinda patronising when i guy tries to take it off you
