Hi,
I met a girl on work experience in June.
I invited her out for something to eat or maybe watch a movie as a date, she replied saying she would love to, however, on multiple occasions where we tried to organize something, each time it didn’t happen due to her parents being strict. She is a Muslim and her mums side of the family are very strict or so she told me, eventually we had a couple of face time calls and were texting every day, she invited me to a Haloween house party. I told her I would love to go and she suggested matching outfits, unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to go by my dad.
I am Christian and we are both year 13 applying for medicine. After I told her I couldn’t go, she said no worries and thanks for letting her know. I told her I’d still love to take her out for a meal or something to see her and only then after 5 months of talking did she say “she’s really sorry but she won’t be able to meet me in person this year as it’s a general rule in the family”.
I had a sort of sinking feeling in my heart, we both had so much in common and she seemed like the one. Although the original Haloween party she invited me to was cancelled, she went out to 2 other parties and then a guy in my biology class said he saw her at another. I feel like I am missing out as I stayed at home studying. Since then we have not spoke apart from me texting her asking how the party went to which she replied with a voice note and a sort of sad tone about how the party was busy and intimidating. I replied and she just responded with a laughing emoji. I understand it may sound petty this whole situation but I think I got too attached. Do I reach out again? Bearing jn mind we both have medicine interview period approaching, or do I just move on?
