This is kind of a complicated story...just fair warning...
I have a friend who started dating this girl back in December, even though they were about 400 miles apart. Around February, he broke it off with her badly. He was also her first real boyfriend. I've talked with her (not really about that) for the past 2 or 3 months regularly. Just kind of random conversations. She did tell me at one point, though, that she never wants to be in a relationship again; that's about the most talking we did on that subject.
So we hung out a couple nights ago, come back to my place and start watching a movie. About mid-way through, we pause it and just start talking for about an hour. I figured that even though everything was against me, I couldn't risk becoming too much of a 'friend' before getting that out there, so I asked the question. I got a firm, "I don't want to date anyone," from her.
She's still a friend and everything, and I know we'll continue to hang out, especially since she's said over and over that she'll find some girls for me once classes start back up. I'm not sure why, but this rejection hurt more than usual, and I guess I'm just looking for some thoughts on the situation.
Feel free to call me whatever names you've got.
