I am 31 and she is 26. I am divorced so I am no stranger to relationships. I met her online. After our first few text conversations I could tell there was something special about her. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have felt like this. We had plans to meet, and the morning we were supposed to meet, I get a text saying she couldn't do it because she is in a really bad relationship. We didn't speak for a few weeks. After about 2 weeks she texts me and asked if we could still meet because they had broken up. Normally I would say no, but since I had that feeling, I said yes.

 

We started dating. Everything was great. It was progressing like a normal relationship should. After 2 weeks I met her 3 year old son who adored me. She was telling me that she was starting to have feelings for me. A few more days pass then BOOM. I'm not ready.

 

We still talked after but she was starting to be mean. 90 % of the time she would make first contact. She was sending mixed signals, and just recently, she said it was to create distance. She said she wants to be friends but I am cautious because I think she will try to create more distance. Every time I don't want to fall into the friend trap. I'm not sure what I should do. Should I go complete no contact and hope that absence makes the heart grow fonder or low contact. I am concerned about no contact causing her to completely forget about me. She says that she still really likes me but is not ready.

 

We texted back and forth 5 days ago and havent had any contact since. She apologized for the first time for everything and said she was sorry to bring me into her mess. I told her if she ever got over everything, and if I wasn't seeing anyone, that maybe we could talk again. Ity has been hard not to pick up the phone to text or call her.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
