So, I have been dating this girl for about six months now. When we got together, she told me that she wasnt looking for a relationship and that she was scared to fall in love. When we start getting too close, she seems to push herself away from me for a week or so and things go back to normal. She also told me that she didnt like the idea of the whole boyfriend girlfriend thing, which I’m ok with cause we agreed that we would keep dating exclusive between us (aka being boyfriend girlfriend minus the title). She tells me that she cares for me vividly and I can see that she means it (so does my roommate who is her best friend). When we are together we have a lot of fun, talk a lot, and do little things for eachother that makes eachothers day. When we dont see eachother for a few days she tells me that she misses me, as do I miss her. But every now and then she gets to a point where she says she needs some space and goes off and does her thing for a week or so without talking or seeing eachother much at all. She always comes back happy though. She hasnt offered to have me go out with her to meet any of her friends either, that bugs me a bit (like she is embarassed of me or such). So I guess what I’m looking for is, does she seem to care as much as I have explained and think she does? Is she just looking for the space she asks for? Or is she just keeping me interested enough to want me to have her come back as her fall back? Is she out still searching the field? Is she just affraid to get too close in the fear that she might get hurt? Did I just let myself get too close and attached too fast? Am I overreacting about it all? I care a lot about her, so any advise would be greatly appreciated. I have no inttention to hurt her, but at the same time I dont want to get hurt in the long run if I keep putting my heart out on the line and not getting what care I need.
