UnknownSoldier Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Me again. Didn't think I'd be coming back. Yesterday I received an email from a girl I broke off contact with not long ago. I won't go into details, but basically she was reading through some old emails I sent her months back, and, after not having seen me online for a while, decided to send me this message. I'm quite concerned about what my next action should be. - I could ignore the email, but I feel that's rather disrespectful seeing as how she made the effort to ask me how I am. We did get on quite well and it was only my selfish, insecure stupidity that got me (us?) into the situation. - I could respond asking her to not contact me, but again I feel that may be rather disrespectful, and I wouldn't quite know how to word it anyway. - I could respond answering her question, but then I will have to answer further (awkward) questions like "Why haven't spoken to me for ages", etc. What do you guys/girls reckon I should do? Oh, and if you think what I've done is wrong/silly, could you please not be too critical? I've had a difficult time recently and could do without it. Thanks. Link to comment
DN Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 What did she say in the e-mail? Just asked you how you are? Link to comment
UnknownSoldier Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 What did she say in the e-mail? Just asked you how you are? I suppose I should've mentioned that in the previous post. She read through our old emails and felt the need to send a message to me because she hadn't spoken to me for some time. She said she was upset with a message I wrote on another forum (resigned from a position due to real life difficulties), and wanted to see how I was. I don't think she was aware that I'd severed contact with her, and I find it difficult to believe she's only just noticed I haven't been online, considering how before we spoke to each other quite frequently.

DN Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I would say that you are fine, hope she is and that you have moved on very well. Link to comment
UnknownSoldier Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 I would say that you are fine, hope she is and that you have moved on very well. I understand, but could you please give me an example of how to write this reply? I want to word it correctly. I'll mention my reasons for breaking off contact with her in this email as well.

UnknownSoldier Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 .if u like her...ask her out. It's a lot more complicated than that I'm afraid. I'd rather just focus on the situation at the moment. Link to comment

I have decided to move on with my life and wish you well for the future." Link to comment

UnknownSoldier Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Her response was that she thought she'd ask how I was as she "really cared" about me. She also wished me good luck in the future and said it was nice knowing me. I feel...upset. I guess it's just something I'm going to have to live with. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment
