Well I just returned to school in a state 4 hours from home. Before I went away I had a girlfriend of 2 years and we loved each other (but what do I know I’m only 18). We decided to try and take a slow, steady breakoff before I left, which went very smoothly. However, for the frst month of class, we were both on the fence of whether or not we should try a long distance thing, which has been solved by today. we both decided to give oursleves more time to move on.
During this initial month or two or uncertainty, I met this girl in one or two of my classes who I think is very attractive, and she has given me some signs, such as prolonged eye contact, frequent looks my way, preening, exposing neck, the basic flirting stuff. So I know she at least HAD some interest.
But during this time, like I said, I had a few distractions coming from back home, and I could not bring myslef to approach this new girl.
Then, about two days after I officially became a free man, one my ex’s close friends started hitting on me, causing a whole bunch of drama that lasted about two more weeks, and still goes on now between her and my ex. But that is a whole other long story. What matters is that it set up a whole other wave of distraction that kept me from approaching this girl, I can’t explain why it all affected me the way it did.
Anyway, now that I have been female drama free for about a week, I really want to approach this girl. But over the weeks, it seems her flirting signs have started to wane a bit. I mean she still glances over at me, but not at the same amount as before. So now I am affraid this is a sign of her losing interest in me. I am afraid that she is building this mindest that I am afraid to approach her. But she doesn’t know about the distractions I have had to deal with until recent.
So, I am sure it varies amongst women, but does it seem to you that I have in fact put it off for too long? Does she think I am weak and intimidated? Like I said, I’ve been off my game for 2 years, which is almost half the time I’ve even been into girls. So, needless to say, I’m a bit rusty.
