It's just this girl...

[LifeTakesYou]

Hello I'm Mike,

I love this girl okay, I have loved her for a month or two now and a week or so back I decided to tell her my true feelings. However this did not go to plan and now it is awkward between us.
We used to get on just fine the conversations flowed and it was great. But ever since I told her she has been blunt replying to me (online as I don't see her in person very often.) I asked to meet up to explain to her but she politely declined by saying "maybe sometime"

I don't know what to do, I feel like I am annoying her if I keep trying to message her, but she means everything to me and I just want to get back to good friends. What advice do you have for me?

just act normal. dont try find a meaning. i told my best friend and things were shit for a month but eventually we talked like normal and now i tell her i love her on a regular basis about everything. im not saying do that because its shit but it shows how comfortable we are.

Unfortunately when telling someone how you feel doesn't work out, it can create awkwardness. The good news is that the awkwardness generally isn't permanent. But the first thing I would do is take a step back from her for a while, despite how unnatural this would likely feel for you. Sometimes giving someone space for a while helps to break that awkwardness and over time things can return to how they had been. Judging by her response to you, she doesn't feel the same way about you right now, so another thing i'd suggest is to just be friendly and not come on strong in the short term anyways.

I agree with Gumleaf above, give her space for a few weeks to think things over, time is often a great healer. Then send her a message saying you miss her friendship and would love to get back to talking again. She may respond well she may not, you can only try.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will give her a week or so to think about it, is that long enough?

Also when I do finally message her again, how should I start the conversation because it will be to awkward to just say hi a pretend nothing has happened

Its important that you do NOT even THINK about it. Girls don't want nervous, clingy guys.

OK, if I was a girl, I would want a guy who liked me to Keep Calm. Like i know its so typical but literally just be like "Hey if youre ever free, here is my number" then leave me be.

Be decisive. Be calm. Be cool. Be suave. Be you.

JUST BE YOURSELF!!!!!
Why hasn't anyone on VT figure that out yet, if you can be yourself around them, it ain't working, there is no magic rule or amazing secret, just say hi, and see where things go, don't go into it expecting things to turn out well, but don't expect them to go badly ether.
