Okay...WTH?!

Hey ladies!

Let's start this off with The Girl. She's beautiful! She's got long dark wavy hair, big brown eyes, and the cutest smile ever! [addicted-much? Ha! Maybe.]We'll call her McSexy :)

I met her in my biology class and at first glance she didn't catch my attention much. During the break i went to the restroom and when i got out i saw her standing their waiting. As i was washing my hands she asked me if i'd taken bio 1 yet and i told her no, she hasn't either and said that we should work together bc people said this class is hard. Ok. 

Yea it's boring so far, but wait!

So a few weeks of her glancing my way and smiling goes by and she finally speaks to me again. Nothing too interesting, i think it was aboiut our lab. She was my friend's lab partner (acquaintance really) so the 3 of us often worked together in class. One day in class we were assigned to work in groups and she turned her desk right next to mine. Throughout the class she asked me if i was in a relationship, i told her no, she asked why, i told her i wasn't ready, and she just said, exactly "It's surprising to me that you're not in a relationshi" [What does that even mean?] I asked her if she had a bf and she said kind of. Anyway, so i just smiled and continued with my work.

Anyway! So after 2 months of here-and-there smiles and glances at one other and casual flirtatious conversations, i suddenly fall for this girl, hard. We exchanged numbers earlier in the year and texted before but only about what we'd miss in the class. But this one conversation was different:

McSexy: hey you weren't in class today, it was really boring!
Me: It's always boring :) But yea i didn't get much sleep last night so i couldn't wake up. Did i miss much?
MS: Lol why did you have a long night? And no, justsome notes butyou can copy mine
Me: okay thanks. It was sort of a long night, but really just too lazy to get up.
MS: I could've brought you coffee this morning :)
Me: That's sweet of you but i dont think it would've helped, It's hard to get me up in the morning
MS: I know something that would definitely get you up ;)
Me: And whats that?
MS: me.
Me: huh? as in....
MS: next time call me when you can't get up and you'll see :)

OF course i never took that seriously so i just continued being lazy and missing class. The thing she is a totally different person on the phone than she is in person with someone else there and it's freakin confusing!

So midterms were coming up and she texted me that she wanted to get together to do the review,m i said yes and asked if she'd told 'H' our other friend yet, she said yes but she couldn't make it but i later learned that she never asked. We met up at her apartment and just got to work. There wasn't very much conversation going on, like i said, totally different girl, it was kinda awkard being there. We finished really late and i got my stuff together to leave but she insisted that i stayed since it was 2am and we had class at 8am. Thinking that it was weird i said that i had no clothes so i left. 

When i got home she sent me a text: "next time bring your clothes so you can stay. that way you don't have to drive back and forth" I just said okay.

So fastforward and it's final exam time so we decided to all get together (the 3 of us) again at her apartment. This time we didnt finish till 3:30in the morning so me and H decided to stay.

I got the vibe, like some of you guys are getting from this girl that she maybe kinda liked me. I had trouble sleeping with H's snoring so i just laid there. McSexy comes out of her room and came to sit next to me on the couch. We talked a bit and then the unthinkable [maybe not so surprising] thing happens, she leans in to kiss me! She started to take off my shirt and I her's but H's tossing and turning stopped us both. It was weird, we just looked at each other and she said sorry and left.

After the finals i didn't hear from her so one night i was at a party, drinking, and decided to text her..
Me: hey i haven't heard from you in awhile, how've you been?
MS: good. and you?
Me: good. okay lets get to the point, can we talk about what happened before?
MS: there's nothing to talk about. It was a mistake. I'm not even like that.
Me: oh, okay. I understand.

But in my head i was really thinking, BTCH! How can you lead me on all semester and then when i finally fall for you just leave me hanging?!

I can't stop thinking about her now. I felt nothing for her, then i fall for her, and now i'm so angry with her but that only makes me want her even more [weird right?]
What do you guys think? i seriously can not stop thinking about this girl!!! What should i do?!

Haha, sounds to me the

Haha, sounds to me the classic, freak out and denial. It sounds like she fancied you but after something nearly happened, she freaked out and pulled away. Sounds to me you been cool towards her in all of this, maybe you can try texting her and asking her out?? she's properly just scared.

The question, you like her

The question, you like her because of her personality, or just because what she did (almost) that night. It's important. A lot of people answer affection with affection, this is the ground of a lot bad realtionship, but it's an another case. So you must think about it, why you like her, if it's just because what she did, then left it, its not worth. But if you really like her, then you can ask her out to a place where you two can talk. I have the feeling, that nothing will happen, because she is scared, and you can't change that, but a good talk can not harm.

I've tried

Yea girls, I tried asking her if we can talk about it and she just blew me off telling me there's nothing to talk about and since then we haven't talked. I saw her at school soon after that and i avoided her, i'm kinda embarrassed now in front of her idk why..

And I fell for her before we "almost" but ever since then i have nnot been able to get her out of my head. I'm just so stuck on this girl bc what she did to me. 

She told me that she's not like that...what?!?! i'm lost!

Then the best solution is

Then the best solution is to forget her. It's not easy but on long term you spare a lot of pain. Can i assume that she avoid you? If yes, then use it, dont send any text message, and higher the distance between the two of you. Again, it will be painfull, but its your interest.

I have to agree

 Sorry sweetie, I have to agree with Monique.  It sounds like she wanted to try you on for size.....curiosity might be the death of us...,but obviously she's not ready.  Probably your best bet is to let it go.

I agree with above...almost...

Maybe she wasn't 'trying you on for size,' but she doesn't sound ready. When I realized that I wouldn't be doing the husband and the picket fence I freaked out. The first girl to really come onto me sent me over the edge: freshman year, three doors down. I was terrified. Nothing happened - she probably said I sent mixed and confused signals to her friends. Anyway, if you really like this girl just blurt it out and leave the ball in her court. That way you won't go forever wishing you'd said whatever's in your head and if she hears exactly how you feel she can think about it. If she responds in the negative then it'll be easier to move on/at least you'll have your firm answer.

I don't know. If my college out-girl had just been forward with her words I'm sure I would have had a different story to tell you, but I was nervous and scared. What you saw as flirtatious glances, etc, probably were defined differently by her. We all have our own versions.

Wish texting had been around in those days for me ;)

Sigh..

I wish it was easy. Relationships suck hehe I was so happy being by myself until she showed up, ugh why?!?!

The thing of it is, i didn't realize that i could have feelings for a girl until i met her. She initiated everything. SHE always smiled and looked at ME in class, SHE asked for MY number, SHE texted ME first, and SHE KISSED ME. I think what really gets me is that i dont get her. She did a complete 180 and it's got me stuck. They say you're more attracted to what you can't understand, oh yeahhh.

You guys have any idea what i can do to get my mind off of her? I'm really shy so going out with anyone else right now is sorta out of the question..

What's Your Favorite Leisure Activity?

www.myspace.com/lunakiss7.com

Whatever your favorite leisure activity is focus on that. I think it's a sad state of affairs thst she did you like that.  To get your mind off of her and on you write in a journal. Or think about what you want to do now. Go back to focus on you. Get a new hairstyle or clothes or something to indicate you're moving on.

         These are merely suggestions, you can take some,none or all of them or leave  some, all or none of them. Good luck to you!

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A PM ABOUT MEETING WOMYN ON ANOTHER SITE. I'M NOT INTO THE DATING SITE ADVERTISMENT. GREATLY APPRECIATED!

breathe sweetie....

 

 Take a deep breath and then let it out.....  It sounds like what you're dealing with is classic reversal psychology.  Please don't take my word for it.  Look it up.  She wants one thing, but when she gets it she doesn't want it any more.  Paying attenion to you is what matters now.  Figure out what you want, and go from there.
