Lost in the fog

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not sure about A (maybe take on the advice of other members on that one). As far as B goes, it does really seem like she's stringing you along a bit, plus something you said about her saying it "might" happen and if you really love her you'd have to wait and find out rang alarm bells in my head; sounds a lot like emotional blackmail to me.

When all's said and done, I wouldn't give up B as a lost cause by any account, but I wouldn't "wait" until that "someday" either. I would be open to the possibility of a relationship with B if she does come around, but in the meanwhile if you happened to meet somebody else you like then go with them. Keep yourself on the market.

A had been trying to get a hold of me for the last few days, so today I decided to just talk to her again - and pretend as if the offer never actually happened. Basically, went to A and saying how much I wanted to be with B and etc... So now she's gone back to admitting she wants her ex boyfriend back again. Hopefully she got the message I wanted to be with someone else and not her.

Since someone asked: did I meet her on some online message board? Yep. Both A and B come from the same place.

-------------------

Now as for B, I really don't know what to do. I think I might be getting suckered.

Before this, I had suggested I wanted to come out and see her someday. She just smiled back. She often goes days at a time without responding to my messages or texts. But yet she'll go to my Facebook page and like some status update I made. She told me she had a stressful weekend with family in another state, but hasn't really told me any details.

I know she's been dating other guys (in her hometown) off and on since I've first started talking to her last year, but she tells me she's not really thrilled by any of them. I would like to take her word for it, considering... well, here's a few notables quotes from her end:

You absolutely mean something to me... It's just I see you as this amazing guy, and so much like me, that I want to be able to have my head on straight before I venture those waters, otherwise I'll just end up pulling you down with me, and I don't think that's anything I could live with myself for doing... But you definitely mean something to me... As many times as you've been there to talk to me, and talk me down... I'd not be human if you didn't mean anything to me... And I'm definitely human

Or: And truth be told, I've never felt as in tune with anyone in my entire life as I had felt with you... But, like all tales, in the story that is my life, I think the timing is off... Or maybe it's not, and it's just me being scared, I don't know... And the things you want for me, like for me to be happy, I want the same things for you, I just am afraid that I would only f**k things up... And to tell you that I don't feel the same way would be an out and out lie... I do feel the same way, but at the same time that's the downfall... Or at least how I see it... Everyone I've ever cared for has left in one way or another... And maybe it's just me being selfish, but I kinda want to hold onto you... That's why I'm so afraid of feeling something for someone else, because in the end, they always end up gone...

So as long as she says stuff like this, keeping hinting at this... I think I still have hope.

Or do I?

I'm not tying to be rude here OP but I think B is playing the typical mind-games some women play. It sounds like she likes having you around as a friend for emotional support but she does not want you in a romantic way. I've heard lots of complaints like this from other guys. You could try telling her you have a date with someone else & see how she reacts; she mite get jealous

Well, I got an answer on B. She says she would have a relationship with me, but doesn't want a long distance relationship.

I'm not willing to just up and go to her, just to see if something could work. I could make a visit sometime in a few months, once I get a full time job again and save up.
