We weren't technically "dating" but she was seeing several people and more than a few were compatible is what I've gathered from some research and calm analysis. Basically she chose him because he was a better match, not sure by how much or how close I got to finally being in love with someone. But if he was competing against me when I didn't even know she was single I didn't have much chance since I was still keeping her in friend area of my head. Dunno if I could have won even without that. German is hard to learn. She wanted Europe.
He only did slightly better on that score and I know I could have shown more interest and put in more effort but I gave up thinking it was just sharing with a friend not her trying to pick someone. I knew it was important to her she tried to get me to do it, I just said it was too hard and I couldn't figure it out. I gave up, didn't know I was fighting but I gave up. He won. It hurts so much, and being the traditional aspie I told her everything I figured out haha...................
Doesn't matter though, I don't want to be the loser and stick around as the friend when I loved her. Wouldn't want to see what I missed out on that's just too painful. It hurts pretty bad right now, gonna try not to contact her anymore. I'm sure she doesn't want to hear anymore either since I figured out how close we came. Don't think I really have anything to say anymore since I lost fair and square. Give a guy a hug for a college try? Still, I'm glad she gave me a shot maybe I'll find someone else and it will work out better.
