I've been friends with a girl I know for about five months now and we're pretty good friends. We've talked about dating and confessed to each other that we have some pretty intense feelings for each other. Well things were going great until last week when out of the blue, she tells me that she thinks that we're incompatible and that the fact that I'm not done with college yet is why she won't date me.
Now this really hurt my feelings and kinda pissed me off. I mean I've heard worse (I actually had a girl tell me she wouldn't date me because I live in a mobile home) but it hurt because of how I feel for her.
The thing that baffles me the most is that she still gets a hold of me and wants me to go and do things with her and stay at her house and all this yeehaw.
What is the problem here? Is it me or what because she won't give me answers and I'm totally confused. What should I do?
Without any more information than that, sounds like she has an issue with your not being a big "bread winner" yet, and doesn't have the patience to wait. IF that is the reason, I would blow this golddigger off completely. But hey, I'm just guessing.
"The thing that baffles me the most is that she still gets a hold of me and wants me to go and do things with her and stay at her house and all this yeehaw."
Treat her the same! Give her a taste of her own medicine.
DOn't go running to hang out with her, and call her. She's using you and your allowing it!
Say to her: "You know, Im not finished with college...and I need to focus on my studies...right now I find this relationship not working."
Maybe she'll think about the effect of what she said, when the tables are turned.
Maybe she is testing you to see how committed you are to the relationship. Or she has more than one cup on the table. Oh I meant more than two cups on the table.
The only thing you can do is move on you can't make someone love you or want to be with you. Life doesn't work that way no matter how bad your heart hurts. Its not you! I'm sure in time the truth will come out. Keep your head up
I said something to that effect to her. It seems like it didn't phase her so I'm pretty much at the point where I don't care anymore.
As for everyone else who replied to this, I had a notion that she was playing mind games. I just didn't want to face it. Hate it when this happens though.
Maybe the confession scared her and she went into relationship-sabotage mode because she's not ready to deal with those feelings.
I second those who said you shouldn't jump through hoops for her. Hang out with her if you want to and can handle it, but don't make yourself available all the time. Perhaps she'll miss you and take some time to get her head screwed back on.
