So a little bit about me, i'm 22 and got out of a 3 year long relationship 4 months ago, toxic relationship, and i left her. Being that was my only real relationship i had no idea where to start again. Took advice from my sister and she said ya know, just ask someone you like out, you have nothing to lose.

 

So i had known this girl from high school, but never really got to know her. Now as years went by we started talking and we actually connected really well. We talked for about a week and a half through texts and twitter messages and i decided to take my sisters advice and just ask her how she felt on dating. She said she thinks i'm a really cool person and she enjoys talking to me, but she'd like to get to know me better and meet in person and the like.

 

So i asked her how she'd like to go out for dinner, and she said she was busy but she'd let me know. So fast forward to the next morning and she texts me before i even woke up, saying she has plans later that night, but shes free during lunch if i'd like to go out then. I said sure i'm down for where ever, and we decided to go to Red Lobster. So we went, we were there for about an hour and a half, and things seemed to go really well. Talked about her school work, life, and everything in between. Then walked outside, had a cigarette, talked more, hugged, and went home. Then we talked the rest of the night, she said thanks for dinner and all that, and i figured this might be a sure thing.

 

So, now she's going back to University because she failed some classes and had to take some summer classes. I figured you know its an hour away and she has friends up there, so she might not talk as much as she'd be busy and out with friends and stuff. Well the talking has almost stopped, she does reply when i text her but she rarely initiates the conversations. I know, i know, we're not dating and it's not a sure thing, and i'm not blowing up her phone acting needy because it's not like we're together, i'm not someone important to her, (yet?).

 

So i'd just like to get opinions on how i should proceed, and opinions how if this could be a thing and shes just busy, or is she slowly letting me down softly?

Thanks for reading!

Keep talking to her and especially, ask her out again. If she declines and keep on that way of behaving, as in, not initiating contact or avoiding you, then move on.

Try playing a bit 'hard to get'. Nothing gets a lady curious as a guy who goes strong and silent. (and please don't start everything you say with 'so'...!)
