Give it one last go

I MET S two years ago when I was at pre-university. I am currently an undergraduate.

We were classmates for two semesters and became friends. We hung out together and constantly text-messaged each other. However, things changed when she broke up with her boyfriend.

She wasn’t the same girl anymore. I tried to console her but my efforts were in vain. She said she was fine but her actions told me otherwise. I thought that would be the right time to tell her how I felt and she said that she knew that I had feelings for her but needed time.

I didn’t want to pressure her so we kept talking to each other until one day when we had a big argument in front of a few classmates. The situation got heated and I said something which I shouldn’t have.

She was heart-broken. She told me I was treating her like a boy. I was upset that she said and thought that.

I did try to make it up to her but there was already a rift between us. She said she no longer trusted me as she used to.

It’s been a year and things haven’t changed much. The only positive thing is that we are still able to talk to each other on matters related to work. I’m definitely am losing her bit by bit.

She is leaving for Australia soon. I had hoped to have a second chance to tell her that I like her and would always be there for her when she needed me. I can’t bear to lose her without putting up a fight.

Last Fight

IF you are still talking, then there is hope left. So fight on if you want to bare your heart and soul.

However, the last big argument will take time and understanding to heal. She seems emotionally fragile and volatile, and although she is aware of your feelings, she is still wary of commitment.

Give her time before you push her for a better understanding of your feelings for her. If she is going overseas soon, perhaps you need to give the relationship a break. She will need to settle down to her studies as well as adapt to a different environment. However, there is nothing stopping you from telling her that you will always be there for her.

It was fun when the both of you simply enjoyed talking and spending time together. Things got tough when you got too intense. So relax and do not try too hard to win her over until she is emotionally ready.
