Alright guys...I need somebody to help me on this one.
I met this girl about a month ago, and once I broke up with my previous girlfriend we got together. A few weeks in, she starts acting cold and distant, then tells me she "wants to get to know me better" so we stop dating. I think, well ****, loss of attraction...So I go about things normally. We spend the next week as "just friends" and we talk a lot, see each other as part of a group of our friends, and just have a total blast. We flirt a hell of a lot and everything starts to get confusing...
A little while later, her best friend informs me that she's starting to "fall for me" again, so I'm like, "What the hell?" and take her out to a movie just me and her, where we proceed to have a make-out session in the back row.
Now, after this I'm feeling really good about things, but as always the universe it out to **** with me. I get an IM as soon as I'm home that says she made a mistake and shouldn't have let me kiss her. I tell her that she was doing as much kissing as I was and pretty much ask her what the hell her problem is. She says she got "caught up in the moment". (Bull****) Her best friend is online at the same time, and tells me that she's telling her she really likes me but is afraid of getting hurt. When I bring it up, she says that's part of the reason, but she doesn't even know so she can't tell me the rest of it.
Okay, this girl is...I can't understand anything she says or does. I feel like **** because I know she's interested in me but there's something holding her back, something she's afraid of that keeps her from pursuing it. As a bit of history, she's kind of shy around people she doesn't know and she's never had a real boyfriend before. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
