johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 please refer to this post: that's my story and the latest update. now tonight she texts me twice: "Hey can we still text?" and then "Johnny.." she hasn't called me johnny since we were madly in love, but I don't know if that means anything. I dont really want any contact with her, but I'd be open to listening to her saying she'll change her ways if we get back, even though its a huge risk for me to take. I also feel bad for ignoring her, I just imagine her sitting there experiencing the same pain I was when she was ignoring me pre-breakup. I don't want to say "I only want to talk to you if you're open to reconciliation" because that would be a lovely safety net for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcountry Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hey...I'm coming from a LDR "place" myself. All I can say is unless she says herself that she wants to reconcile and change, than maintain NC...if only for yourself and your own healing process. I blocked every avenue posible for the person that invades my head and heart. He can no longet text me with BS. I figure if there is something important he can "man up" and call. Until then...nothing. YOU MUST THINK OF YOU...don't let her "confusion" or whatever it is get to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't think she's gonna come out and say she wants to reconcile... at this point, she most likely thinks I don't want to, because she knows I've been getting along much better without her in my life. is there a way to find out if she wants to reconcile without dealing with rejection? I really don't want a broken girlfriend, either... she still is so lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcountry Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hun...there it is...you just said it yourself. "I really don't want a broken GF, she is still so lost" You need to get on with you and let her be. Do you really want to be strung along? Not saying that she is...but it hasn't been that long, right? NC and get on with your life. I guarentee that you will feel differently in a month or so. How old are u/she?

johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm 21, she's 18 shes too young for a serious relationship I think... but she's immature even for her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcountry Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 There you go...you again said it yourself. I'm older, but at 18...she has no idea what she wants, immature or not. Move on hun, don't let her play with your emotions. NC...if and when she wants to get with you she will make it known. I did, unfortunately I still ended up with nothing. It's been about a month NC. There are good and bad days, but I know that I'm better off. Just speaking from experience here. Wish you the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterPo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you can handle it, leave her be. She's got up to grow up sometime and maybe a little NC will work out. Hell of a gamble but the alternative is to play this painful game. Not worth it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I feel like I'm stringing her along at this point - should I just say "It was nice to hear you're doing well, but I'm still not comfortable being friends." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhere Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I feel like I'm stringing her along at this point - should I just say "It was nice to hear you're doing well, but I'm still not comfortable being friends." ? I agree with the rest. Being friends will hurt you because you cannot stop how you feel for her and yet she will seem indifferent. You will be down for a long time and miss out on even better girls that come your way. If you think there are none like her out there...trust me, there are! A few people on this site went through it including me. I've found a wonderful girl right now that I am deciding about. I will take things slow because i need some of my own space. I got around to hanging out with my friends a lot and rediscovered how much fun it was. It is a good idea to compose yourself and really take some time apart with NC. You'll eventually figure out what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll eventually figure out what you want. I'm not even giving friends consideration -- I'm trying to avoid the friend zone here, but I'm mainly trying to figure out if she wants me as friends or if she wants me back but is guarding her feelings so she doesn't get rejected as well. I'm mainly trying to figure out if I should ignore her or send her a short message saying I'm not comfortable being friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I think I should send her a message because every time she contacts me it sets me back. please share your opinions, its getting late, gotta go to bed soon -- ignore or sending a short message, and what the message should read. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramallama Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Have you told her that you only want to talk if it concerns reconciliaton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 no, because she would view that as a safety net; knowing I'm there waiting for her whilst she does whatever she wants, and despite the cruelty of her actions toward me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 no, I've never been cruel to her, I encourage her to experience life and the last thing I see her as is a safety net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnm3 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't want her to view me as a safety net... lol. im confuzzled all I'm trying to figure out is if I should send her a message saying I don't wanna be friends (even tho she knows I don't want to be her friend & I don't want to see her with other guys) or ignore her. I feel weird ignoring her because I talked to her on the phone the other day... even though she brought up a ludicrous subject at the end, the conversation went well for the most part. but I also feel weird saying I don't wanna be friends because she knows this and it just seems repetitive and weak.

dramallama Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If she already knows that you don't want to be her friend, and she knows that you don't want to hear about other guys, or her talking about birth control, then she's probably figured out that you still have feelings for her more than a friend. If you feel like she's heard it all before, then SHOW her that you do not want to be a part of her life and that you want to move on. Talk is cheap. Action (ignoring calls and texts, blocking her from facebook, not seeing her person) will back-up your plan to move on. It's really not that hard, and she doesn't need an explanation. Let your action do the talking, but most of all, start NC so that you can move on for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a dumba5s repeating the obvious, luckily I didn't respond. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
