Hello friends! This is my first post, and hopefully not the last. Alright to the story. I am home schooled, so I don't get out much, but I do go to a small church for my social interactions, so I ain't a hermit. Well there was a summer camp for all area wide churches, so I went. Up there I met a girl, and that's what occupied my time up there, for the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th nights (the camp was only a week long) we would meet up and just talk, Before I go any further, this was my first time having any interaction with a girl that lasted more then a few minutes, so when the flirting happened, it was all new to me, but I think I did good for a first timer.However, for those 4 nights, I would notice she would get texts from her parents every few minutes, and would progress each night, and on the 3rd night she didn't want me to walk her home. So the 4th day we hung out almost all day, there was an event going on so most of the teens were going to go do it, so we had the whole camp to ourselves. But around 5oclock she got a text, she said she had to go, so she walked off.That same night before nighttime service happened I went and kind of just scanned the place, so I saw her and she turned her head, I waved and smiled, and she looked sad. At that same moment her mom and dad turned and just looked at me for a few seconds. So after the service I walked out and waited for a bit, and she comes out with her parents. I walk up to introduce myself, and the dad looked like he didn't trust me. At that time I didn't understand, I thought I was being friendly, but now I can realize why he didn't trust me, seeing as how his daughter is alone with a boy. So me and the girl haven't talked since, I enjoyed myself the rest of the camp, so it was fun. But I can't recall if I said something wrong to her, or it was overprotective parents. Aw heck I might have just answered my own question, but I would still like some insight.

I agree that her parents were probably over protective. She probably told them that she met you and they didn't like the idea of it. The girl may have been in your situation in the sense that she doesn't get to talk to boys and you don't get to talk to girls. Maybe her parents were new to this whole thing and they didn't like the sound of it. She may have been honest and told them you two flirted. There are a number of different scenarios. All I can say is don't worry about it. In my eyes you did nothing wrong, unless your flirting wasn't flirting at all it was a bit worse than that. Nonetheless I hope it all works out for you, and welcome to VT I'm new here too :)

Sometimes events in life, go sour or not as we expected. They don't always have reasons or answers. You hit it off with this girl, you liked her and she liked you. It seemed like you had a solid thing for each other. Then suddenly, it all comes to an end. It is all awkward and confusing at first, but eventually you get to the point that you are at now, which is realizing what exactly happened and coming into acceptance of it.

I mean, I can say that her parents might have something to do with it. She could have been one of those girls who do things because the moment asked for it. Like being at summer camp is a setting that's not common so she wanted to let her hair down or whatever. Maybe she got cold feet or something. There could be a million reasons, however the fact is, she decided to end it.

It's fine and it happens to everyone. Use it as a learning experience and hopefully your future relationships pan out better for you. Be cool about it and don't let it hurt you too much. :)

Probs overprotective parents, and perhaps some inexperienced flirting. But ach, we all need to learn to spread our wings and that can lead to some failure, yeah.
