Question Posted Sunday August 23 2009, 8:01 pm

Hi elle,

Sorry to bother you, but I had a question.
I met someone online, and we chatted for about 3-4 months, but I kind of screwed things up by coming on too strong. I think it was because I was tired of waiting. She’s a med student and I used to joke around with friends by saying “I know I said I could wait, but after 4 months she should be here by now!”

We finally met cause she had a school event and I stopped by. We talked for a bit and I thought everything was fine so I didn’t ask for her number, I figured I could get it later. I AIM’d her a couple of days later thanking her for inviting me and asked if I could call her, but she didn’t respond. I pretty much gave up after that, but a couple of weeks ago I called her out of the blue (after 5 months)

The thing was, I had her number cause she sent the evite through facebook and her mobile number was listed, I just asked if I could call as a formality. I’m not the type to just call someone without asking permission, but since I didn’t care as much, I figured if she didn’t want to talk, she wouldn’t answer my calls.

Anyway, that was about 2 weeks ago and I was still debating if some things were just better left unpursued. I’m wondering, If you’ve liked some guy in the past, but things didn’t work out and then he for some reason called out of nowhere but seemed normal, would you give him another chance or it is something you would have forgotten about?

My friends all say I should get over it, and in a way I have, but I still think she’s a wonderful person and want to be friends, but I don’t know if im just going to get myself in trouble again. What do you think?

Thank you for your time
-J

Hey Elle,

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I met her back in Feb., and like I said, it’s been a while since we spoke. When I called her recently things seemed fine, and I called her again and she picked up. I guess she doesn’t mind talking, but when I asked her if she wanted to play tennis some time she didn’t respond, it just branched off on another topic.

I don’t want to read too deeply into things, but every-so-often I can’t help thinking “I’m not a mind reader! If you don’t say anything, I won’t know what ur thinking”

I’ll try calling her tomorrow since you don’t think it’s a complete waste…

I think she’s worth-it so I don’t mind putting in the effort, but I realized it’s too easy to just write someone off that you’ve met online. She’s someone I got along with and enjoy her company, but maybe when we met I said something she didn’t like and that was the end of it. I think the expectations are higher online, if you don’t like something about the person u can cut them loose cause there’s plenty of other ppl. Of course, had she been a friend in real life, things would be different.

Anyway, thanks again for your help. I’ll let you know how it goes, or it may be anticlimatic if she doesn't respond.

I hope you have a wonderful evening =)

hello, thanks for your question :)

yes..this sounds like a familiar case.

so when you met her, did it seem like she was interested as well?

it seems like, by your descriptions, although she was probably interested maybe she was unsure or uncomfortable...

you can always try calling/asking her out another time... and if it still seems that way, it's no big deal really.. you sound like a cool person and you can always talk to another girl.

if she is as wonderful as you say she is, she would've answered your calls or make an effort to spend time with you. try again if you'd like and let me know where it gets you...if not, hey, there's always someone else you can mingle with.

keep your head up (= everythings gonna be just fine.
