Hey, I met this very shy girl at school, we sat together in class, and there was some good chemistry, we’d talk a lot, and things felt natural, even though she was a bit guarded. She’d mentioned having social anxiety, so I tried to be patient and take it slow. We'd hang out after class until I decided I wanted to pursue something serious so I asked her out on a proper date. The date went kinda so-so, but we still made plans to visit her hometown. But right after, she pulled back completely. A few days later, she just told me "I’m not looking for a relationship right now” with no further explanation.
I was a bit confused and hurt, but she seemed serious, so I said ok and cut contact to move on. Some weeks later I heard she was “disappointed” that I’d cut contact, but honestly, I was hurt by how she just went cold without giving a proper explanation.
It’s been 8 months since we last talked, and she just sent me a sweet early morning text congratulating me on achieving a big career milestone I’d mentioned ages ago, which I’d told her I’d probably reach around this month. I didn’t even know she had a new number.
I just said thank you but I'm genuinely wondering what she’s up to, cause she's definitely not the type to make the first move
