We had been on a few very good dates, she let me kiss her, and I really thought that she was into me. Then all of the sudden she went cold. One weekend I was trying to get her to come over for drinks and she responded with “you always want to hang out but you act like you’re not interested.” I told her I was interested but that she seemed to be moving away. She told me she "moves away from people when she feels she can’t open up to them." I went to talk to her in person and told her how much liked her and that I was moving slow because I was shy. The next day she sent me a text and told me that she thought I was attractive but that she only wanted to be friends. A couple weeks after this I tried to open up to her & told her some of my insecurities but I think that might of made it worse…probably made me sound a little oversensitive.

The way I interpreted her messages;

"I move away from people when I feel like I can't open up to them"- I want to open up to you. Or I want you to open up to me.

"You act like you're not interested" - Tell me i'm pretty. Tell me you like me.

Is she socially immature? I just don't understand how a 21 year old women could text these words to someone they have no intentions of pursuing. I've been very persistent with her but nothing has worked.

I think she was trying to tell you nicely that she really had no romantic interest.
It is done and in the past, move on and keep moving on until you find the perfect woman for you.

Sometimes what you learn from an experience is simply that she wasn't the right person for you.

Does it really matter? Either she doesn't like you or she's playing games. Neither one will end in your favor.

You missed the boat. You didn't put out soon enough, sexually and emotionally, and she moved on. I am sorry.

"You act like you're not interested"

This means, 'I am frustrated by the lack of sex in this relationship.'

"I move away from people when I feel like I can't open up to them"

This means, 'I feel like if I open up to you, you wont respond in a supportive way.' She may have the impression that you don't have the skills for that part of a relationship.

She strikes me as the type that is attracted to bad boys. Perhaps if you would have acted more like an insensitive douche bag then you might have stood a chance.

She has other options. You aren't one of them.

In addition to being a total mind-FCK. . . . .

She has approach-avoidance disorder. She craves intimacy but also fears it.
