hiimgerman Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 I met a lovely and wonderful girl. She was sweet like a hummingbird. I was fortunate to have the chance to live with her for five weeks. I couldn’t tell her my feelings for her because she had been taken. We parted ways after five weeks but soon reunited when school started. We could no longer spend as much time together as we did previously due to her extensive social connections. Frustrated by the situation, I revealed my predicament to my mentor, who advised me to ‘stay away from her’, which I was initially reluctant to follow. However, after a few further disappointments, I realized that I could never be as important to her as any of her other friends and that my existence to her was rather expendable; therefore I decided to take my mentor’s advice and avoided her as much as I could. Seeing that the lack of communication from me did not make any difference to her, I was determined to continue to follow my mentor’s advice. Now the avoidance has become mutual and she would rather seek help with her work from someone she loathes than from me. It seems that I have evaporated from her life and it could be entirely my fault.

CC12 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Why are you a horrible and miserable man? You liked a girl who had a boyfriend (right?) and she didn't seem to have much interest in you, so you distanced yourself and it didn't matter to her. And now you're regretting your decision? Why? You did the right thing. Don't beat yourself up over it. You had feelings for someone and they didn't return those feelings. It happens to everyone.
dasein Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Welcome to the forum. Don't be so hard on yourself. You made a mature decision based on unreturned feelings and followed through with it. That is a sign of character, not of being horrible.
Author hiimgerman Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 A sound advice; I shall persevere. Thanks to you all.
