Struggling to Move Forward
Hi everyone,
I'm a 25M, and this is partly a vent post. I’ve never been in a romantic relationship or had any intimate experience.
About a week ago, I met a girl and got her phone number. The next day, I called her and asked her out. She seemed open to the idea but said she’d prefer to get to know me better through texting first. She explained she had recently gone through a breakup and wasn’t looking for anything romantic at the moment.
We texted for about five days. Sometimes she replied quickly, but other times it took her up to 24 hours. A few days ago, I sent her some messages, but she left me on read. After 36 hours of no response, I sent a follow-up message asking if everything was okay and indirectly asked her out again. She replied, saying she’d be busy with school for the whole month. When I asked directly if she was still interested in meeting, she gave a neutral response, saying she didn’t want to think about relationships until after her exams. We agreed I’d call her at the start of next month.
This girl was the first in a long time who gave me her number. My friends couldn’t believe it, considering how pretty she is. To move on, I deleted her from Facebook and erased our chat to stop overthinking. Still, I feel sad and a bit down about the whole situation. I think she might reject me when I call her, but I’ll give it one last try. For now, I’m heading to the gym to clear my mind and forget about her.
Do you think there’s still hope, or is this over for me?"
