Wisecrack Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I met her while volunteering at an animal shelter. We hit it off after realising we'd be going to uni together and had mutual friends. Our supervisor would always tease us about how close we struck it off. I'm not going to talk about signs etc etc because they're all there but we know they mean nothing in the big scheme of things. I went away for a bit so we kept in touch via phone. It was during this that she'd continually tell me how much she missed me. She always replies to my messages within the minute (literally I kid you not) when I message her. Here's the kicker but, we'd initially call each other buddy while also joking about us both being in a mock relationship. She called me her most favorite pal in a essay long birthday message which basically, if you take away the 'pal' reference, you'd think she was my girlfriend. Now I know many here would tell me to simply man up and ask her out but I just want to know if this 'buddy' and 'pal' thing is basically how girls try to let a guy know she is not interested. If so, it'd save me the trouble and I'll move on for the best.
mortensorchid Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Unfortunately you are right. Years ago someone introduced me to others as his "pal". Months later we had an ugly, ugly HORRIBLE break up via email (see how brave people have become since thanks to technology?). Move on before you get hurt. 1
crederer Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 With all due respect, she's trying to let you know she's not interested in a romantic sense but would be glad to be friends. She's not playing games in the least, she's being brutally honest. If you don't want to be friends, that's cool. If you do want to be friends, that's cool too. But it will not go farther than that. I repeat, IT WILL NOT BE ANYTHING MORE THAN FRIENDS. Good luck to you, sir.
Author Wisecrack Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah I'll probably put her on the back burner now tbh. Funny thing is I started throwing out a few of those emoji's - the ones sending a kiss etc - which are totally out of character in me and she's become even more receptive. It's just hard to differentiate because my past relationships have all started out as friends then more. Not to mention we're only just out of high school so my experience is not much! Cheers all.
