If she told you she doesn’t want to be your girlfriend, and [i]you’re looking for a girlfriend[/i], it’s completely healthy for you to go after what you want and start dating other women. My advice is not to date her any more because you’re going to confuse situations. Instead, let her go — she’s not available — and look for Ms. Right! She may have great attributes, but if she’s gun shy from a five year relationship break up and has told you point blank she’s not interested in a serious commitment, then you have to understand she’s not right for you. Next!
I hope that helps. Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
