And it happens again....

So I started talking to this girl during our fair, her name's Shelby. We've been talking for the past month, and somehow she just now decides she doesn't want a relationship. According to her friends, she had been thinking this for a while, and wasn't going to tell me. So I called her out on it and "claimed" she was going to tell me.... What is wrong with me?!

You shouldn't have told her. You really didn't know if her friend was telling the truth or not.

Brah.

It's okay to feel very strongly about someone. But as my mysterious uncle always says, "Don't pull the rope that's holding someone when you've fallen by your own mistake."

You just need to tell her, or maybe just imply in everyday conversation that you have feelings for her. I mean, man you put yourself in a pit, but just admit your mistakes and move on with your life. You can get to where you're going if you don't know where you've been.

She doesn't owe you a relationship. Maybe she just wants to be friends.

If you have feelings about her, but you didn't make them known, she doesn't exactly have a reason to tell you she doesn't want a relationship.

[DairyFarmer]

She knew my feelings, and she told me hers when we first started talking. Apparently she was leading me on the whole time...

Yes, she should have told you. And maybe she was going to. It's hard to tell someone you have feelings for that you don't want a relationship. Some people aren't ready, some have different reasons entirely. Because it's disappointing to both parties.

As someone who has really been led on, for a painfully long time and purposefully, I don't really think that sounds like she was leading you on. I think she just didn't know what she wanted and didn't know how to say it. It happens. It sucks but the best thing to do is just move on. It doesn't reflect on you.
