This is my first post so please bear with me. Alright this is probably going to be a long story, and will probably be ripped to shreds by you guys, but I just need to get it out. Perhaps it'll make more sense to me after it's been explained in print.
So for the last 6-7 months, I've known this one girl who I met in a class of mine. I thought she was cute and whatnot but never really considered her any more than a friend. About a month and a half ago she texts me and complains about being sad, and pissed off. I ask about what, and she says she "broke up with her BF." Not really wanting to be her emotional tampon, I kind of just blew it off. Next day she texts me again asking if I want to go out. I agree, and we go out "as friends," figured I'd show her a good time and get her mind off things. She starts being a little flirty with me, first time she's ever shown any IOI's, I don't think much of it. But the next time I see her (a few days later), I try to see how much I can push this "flirting," mainly by using kino, and negs. She didn't seem to show any signs of pushing me away, so I continued. Long story short, I've been seeing her a decent amount the past few weeks, but never officially going out on "dates" just hanging out, and having her tutor me for one of my classes. Throughout this time, I've tried to escalate the flirting with more and more kino, and giving "mixed" signals of interest, etc. The last time I saw her was about a week ago, when I finally got up the courage to tell her I was going to take her out on an actual "Date." I felt that I should just make a move and give her the idea that I was interested in something more than just friends, without bluntly saying “I like you.” Just pretty much asked her what she was doing a certain day and she said "not sure" so I said "good, you're coming out on a date with me." She didn't seem turned off by the comment, but then again she didn't say "yes" either. As I dropped her off at her place that same night, as she left, I told her I'll see her on the day of the date. She responded with "maybe..." and kind of smiled and walked away. I figured alright, maybe sounds close enough to being a yes, especially with the joking smile that came afterward.
Anyway, day before the date comes; I try to give her a call. Weird thing is, I get a message saying that her number is disconnected / changed. I call again, same thing. Since that day I haven't seen her online either, nor have had any contact with her since. I sent an email, asking what was up, but still no response on that either. I'm just kind of confused about what happened. I mean, normal people dont just cut off all contact with someone just cause they asked them to go on a date, right? Especially if they've been friends for a decent amount of time. If that’s the case, I'm probably better off without her anyway, but just the fact of not knowing has been bothering me. Having no control or idea of the situation, has been driving me crazy, and I don’t really know what I should do. I am worried that something may have happened, but I have no way of finding out, or at least no normal way without being all "stalker" like, which I refuse to do. I know most of you will probably just tell me to forget about her and move on. Which I'm trying to do right now, but as I said before, she is a friend, and I feel I deserve some sort of explanation. If you have any comments or advice about my situation, I'd greatly appreciate it. I apologize for the long rant, but hoping that by posting her I could get some helpful advice.
