Only thing is, you seem invested already, so give it your all, but prepare for anything. I hope it ends positively for you, whether you just make a friend, or a love connection
typo it was a weekend i moved on we texted a few times and will see her in one month. No longer interested in anything woth her but friendship

She is an alcoholic and suffering from anxiety and depression only after she drinks.

I still like her and I am trying to help her deal with this struggle. Trying to stop drinking is a tough one for sure.

Now you add that she's an alcoholic?
Uh, hon, if she suffers from anxiety and depression only after she drinks then that's all the time for an alcoholic.
You sure you want to get even that much involved with such a mess? You do realize that nobody can help an alcoholic except themselves?

Alcohol is a depressant, so...yeah.

Throw that fish back, OP. You can do better.

He's saying he only wants to be a "friend", now, but that's a lot of enmeshment for a friend, especially someone he only just met a couple of weekends ago.

Look, if she's got serious anxiety and drinking problems, that's certainly not something you should be looking to take on in your own life, especially after just one weekend. You don't even know this woman yet, much yet have a real relationship, or even friendship. Keep your cool, maybe text and email in the meantime, and see what transpires when you see her in December. But at this point, I sure wouldn't be making any big plans in my head for the two of you. That's just fantasizing, and real life will pretty much be a letdown for you, IMO.

Everyone its true, but i also dealt with what she is going though right now. She is human and I did meet someone else the next week, thats a lot better. But still gonna be friends with this lady, we crossed each others path for a reason.

But you are all right. Throw the fish back and do not try to get serious.

People either like each other, or they don't.

There is no trick you can use to get her to like you if she really doesn't.
