Q: Dating Girl With Baggage
asked by: FMT on July 23rd, 2007

This post me a bit lengthy, but it basically involves me dating a girl for 14 months now and she doesn't want a relationship. She knows how I feel about her as well.

She broke up with her bf, and we started talking right after that. I had no idea she had broken up or whatever. 2 months later I had fallen in love with her after talking to her almost every day from her calling or me calling. We started dating by going out every once in a while and with me going over her house or vic versa. We even met each other's parents!

We had lots of discussions about her not wanting a relationship. During the first few months it was because she loved her ex still, but doesnt want to be with him. Then it became she isn't ready because it's too early. Then it became she needed to find herself and set new standards. Then it became she needs to focus on her career. And now finally all she says "because I don't feel like having one and I don't need a reason."

Although I respect her and don't want to force a relationship on her, I can't help but feel like she's playing me almost...but I'm confident she isn't but I do wonder sometimes. She has a lot of guy friends, some of whom are pursuing her or atleast try to but she has made it clear I'm the only one that goes to her house and do other things....we don't have sex but making out is a regular occurence.

I'm basically giving her the attention a boyfriend would give her but she doesn't want a relationship now. All I am is a "close friend" with potential to be more, but at this point she wants to be single. Well...I don't. I want this to be a relationship but yet I can't let her go because I've tried in the past twice and it didn't go to plan, I love her to much to just let her go.

Should I just let her go? it has been 14 months now and counting. She wants me to wait for her, but I don't know if I could go any longer, each day just gets worse and worse and doubts start to cloud my mind.|

Thanks for any responses ahead of time.

tell her how you feel
explain to her that you want a relationship, you want to see
what will come out of a relationship between you to.

if she still does not want one, ask her why..
ask her why she is holding back
is there something you are doing wrong....
or has she still not let go of her ex..
maybe she needs to call her ex and have a closing with that
maybe their break up was long and hard and she hasn't had the proper
"ending"

just talk to her..that's what a relationship is about..
communication and if you don't have it now the relationship probably wouldn't work out..

just talk to her about it and tell her how you feel.. Smile

goodluck hun..
and let us know.. okay?

Had to get a new account, some reason I can't log onto my original.

But anyway...thanks for the reply marfa2107.

I have told her how I feel, she knows I want a relationship.

I have asked her why alreayd and it's a new reponse every time I ask, but I ask about every 3 months or so. She claims it's nothing I'm doing wrong, she says it a point in her life she doesn't want a relationship simply because she doesn't want one now without any real reaosn other than that.

She actually spoke with her ex over the phone for another 3 weeks last august to get closure.

And as far as her ex goes, her ex got married last May....to her ex-friend no less. She went to their wedding actually because her family and there family are friends.

So her ex is the last thing on her mind, this came right out fo her mouth btw.

I don't want to talk to her about wanting a relationship anymore, I've brought it up so many times and each time it comes up she gets upset and I get upset, because we both know each other's answer.



I just don't know if I should keep waiting for her anymore, when do I pull the plug, because there is no gurantee I will be a relationship with her, so she says.

i'd say since you've waited 14months on her..
that you should go and try to find someone who does want to be in a
relationship, since all you are doing with her is sortof being her "boyfreind/friend when she wants you" kind of thing...
thats not fair to you
it seems to me she is using you a little bit (not trying to be rude)
but my opinion since you have talked to her and you have let her know how you feel...
to pull the plug and find someone who is willing to have a relationship with you..
maybe this girl will realize what she has lost and realize she really did want a relationship after all...

Well,I can tell you from experience that when my ex and I broke up I felt all those things she used 'as an excuse'.I don't think she's playing you I think she really feels that way.You just have to be patient and not nag and if you can't be patient I guess you should move on.
