Hi,
I have a problem with a girl. I know her for 2 years, and 2.5 months ago she broke up with her bf. During the whole time I knew her we were flirtacious, although never anything serious. 2.5 months ago she phoned me, telling stuff like she really misses me (I moved away 3 months ago), likes to hear my voice again and would pick me as her new bf if i was still around. So 1.5 month ago, I moved again and I'm now near her again. I called her, although I'm aware of the fact that the whole "i really like / miss you" stuff could just be seeking validation and stems from lonliness or whatever. I wanted to give it a shot nonetheless.
So since 1.5 month ago we phoned quite regularily. I suggested to come over to her place about 3 weeks ago and she was fine with it. But then she called me to say that she's got a caught a cold (which was the truth i guess) and she wants to postpone it for 1 week to which I agreed.
I phoned her 1 week later and suggested to go to some pub at her place.
She first said "fine" but immediatley suggested to go out one day later with her female friends and she'll call me again the next day to tell me the exact time. The next day (which was today) she called me in the afternoon, and said that her friends don't wanna go but I can come over anyways today or tomorrow but I should check first if there are any interesting movies for me (there is some festival right now) and then call her back in the evening. She also asked me if I wanna go to a movie in 2 weeks and I agreed, so she asked me also on what day I have time.
So actually I wanted to call her today again and tell her that there's no interesting movie and we should just go to the pub. However in the meantime, she wrote me via IM that she has lots of stuff to do for university (also told me that on the phone earlier) and she has not time today. She wrote she's sorry and hopes I ain't mad at her and was asking about "maybe next week or at least in 2 weeks for that movie" till we see each other again.
So I'm not sure what to think of it. Why does she flake again (even at her own meeting proposals), even also kinda declining tomorrow, which she also offered as possibility first. It can't be bc she doesn't have enough comfort as we are pretty used to each other, and spent time together before. And even she just sees my in the LJBF zone (which I doubt but also don't really care) she could just meet an old friend, so that's not an explanation either. Is she embarrassed by her phone call after she broke up with her bf and now doesn't want to come across as too cheap? Or ss she afraid just bc we've known each other for quite some time and now things are gonna change / get more serious? And most of all: How should I behave now?
Should I just wait and let her call and set up smth?
Or should I call her after some days, maybe sunday, to ask for a new meeting next week and just ignore what happened?
I guess putting some kind of pressure is not helping. Although sometimes I have the impression of her needing to just get a kick in her ass to move. So would smth like calling her some days later and then a) "meet again on XXX but don't flake me again bc I don't have time for that crap" or b) "call me again when you your mind up to what you really want" or c) "I'll come by at XXX whether you like or not" smth like that be any help?
Thanks for your help.
