[April Masini, your AskApril]

I get a lot of posts from college students in the same situation that you are. They meet someone at college, only to find out after a few months that that person wants freedom to explore the “college experience”. The reason I’m telling you this is so you understand that this isn’t a personal rejection. It has to do with where she is in her life — emotionally and physically!

That said, you should always listen to words, but pay closer attention to behavior. What she tells you about how much she likes you is trumped by her behavior of not dating any more. So don’t hold onto words that are negated by behavior.

That said, it sounds like she may be someone who you can be friends with (if you have the stomach for befriending an ex!) so that if she realizes her freedom may not be all it’s cracked up to be, you’ll be able to make a move.

I hope that helps. Let me know how you do and what happens! And follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter, and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 😀
