However, I'm swamped with law school and work. Anyways, I let her know how I feel; and she gives me the "I'm torn. I like you a lot but... Let's just be friends".
Needless to say, I was crushed. I didn't exactly know how to approach the situation. It's actually the first time I have been flat out rejected, and maybe I'm an idiot but I didn't see it coming til after it happened, then hindsight was 20/20.
She wanted to know if we could still be friends and basically the only thing I could say was that I do want to be friends with her, but I don't think I do that right now. It will take time. |
You seem like a smart guy. Trust me. Don't waste your time. Women do this all the time, especially in their 20's. She'll flirt and string you along forever. It's not worth the agony and false hope. You may be able to be friends later when you have a girlfriend, but not now. I know, I know... she REALLY cares about you... same sob story every time. They make you feel like you WILL be the one someday, but it will never happen. No offense. It's not your fault. It happens to all of us at some point. You just need to be smart enough to not waste your time and put yourself through hell.
