Hey WP: I need some advice.

I am madly in love with a girl, let's call her L. She is my world tbh, and I'm lucky to hve met her. She lives about three hours by train away though. The situation is thus.

We split up a while ago due in part to me being a fool and in part to us not doing the commitment thing too nicely. We were friends for a little while but soon the old feelings started to bubble up and I knew I had to be with L for life. Anyway. She basically said she wants to be with me but the distance is a problem. So I told her there's nothing tying me here, I could move there. She said yes immediately, and that she loves me etc etc.

I would do literally anything to see her smile but I sometimes feel her heart isn't in it like mine is, and that maybe moving there is a big mistake. I only have these doubts when we are apart though, when we are together it's amazing. I dunno what to do. We have spent weeks in each other's company before and it's been blissful, so it's not that.

Then, the other day, we met up in Cardiff, we took pictures of us together to put on Facebook, etc etc etc. Today she sends me a message asking me to take them down as she looks awful. When I asked why, she went on the defensive, 'just do it' mode. I did it anyway, out of the spirit of goodwill etc, then discovered she had basically advertised her availability to men at around the same time she added a guy she recently met. And now she likes the bands he likes too.

So I'm at a loss, FD. I feel there are questions that need answering, but if I ask them, she will go off in a huff saying I'm paranoid. She did this before even when it turned out I was right all along.

Moving away from home for the first time is a big thing anyway, moving a considerable distance to be with someone you love who might not love you is terrifying. What do I do?

Maybe it is something as simple as she thinks she looks fat or ugly in the pictures. Girls can be weird that way.
Added: it sounds like she really isn't that into you. That is too bad. But at least you wouldn't have to fret about moving or having a long-distance relationship.

Thanks for the reply, I just wish I knew for sure. She's a complicated person, so I dunno if it's as simple as her not being into me.

"she had basically advertised her availability to men" kind of says it all, de acuerdo?

I let go of some really very nice guys who liked me better than I liked them, just because I am a good listener (pretty much). It does get complicated. It doesn't mean that you're not likeable, nice, or whatever. Maybe it will work out. Just don't waste too much emotional energy on it (she said, on WP, trying to avoid wasting emotional energy on her own crap).

Well I say advertise, what I mean is adding this guy she just met and publicly declaring her singleness.

Yeah, the "single" option really defines it. She didn't choose "it's complicated." Sorry it is so complicated for you... be glad you have the capacity to love.

I don't know if that helps any, but it felt good to type that sentence. It feels good to think about. Not everyone has the capacity to love.
