How about both parties at fault? She being faulted for leading you unintentionally. You for being lead on without checking further.Originally posted by UsedKill:Note, I did not try to go for her when she had a bf. She told me her bf had already broken up with her. I did not know why she lied to me about that.
In fact, while I confessed my feelings for her, we went out merely as friends, I did not pressure her or anything. We really liked each other at that point(which now I know was actually a one sided thing). Yeah, some mushy sms were exchanged as you have seen in one of my previous post. So how could I be at fault for thinking I was being lead on and that she was developing feelings for me?
i know what you mean. she was quite indirect in the way she dealt with you. looking back at it, it's rather obvious that asking not to rush into a relationship, needing to get over her ex and her mother's approval were excuses all along. just as gigabyte14 and T.Ryousuke said, it may be that she doesn't want to hurt your feelings, coz afterall you were being nice to her and all, and she doesn't want to confront you directly. but on the other hand, she doesn't seem to be someone who takes responsibility for her relationships either, preferring to push them to her ex and her mother. or maybe it's a bit of both.Originally posted by UsedKill:I admit I am a little bitter that she went with another guy. But that's not the point, its how she handled it. If she had told me straight it would be ALOT better for me. I wouldn't have to waste one month thinking what was going on and pinning for her. And I did not pester her to be my gf when she apparently "broke up" which I now I'm not sure that even happened.
The thing is she lied to me/ gave me half truths, one minute so nice to me, the next min decided to throw me away like a used towel..
I told her to take her time. I wasn't in a rush.
And yes, I admit I was gullible and naive, thinking that she really liked me. It was partially my own fault for falling too deeply in love with her.
Hi, I see you've kind of missed certain things.Originally posted by jojobeach:Guys,
Please get this straight and clear.
Just because a girl pour her heart out to you doesn't mean she is interested in you ok ??[/quote]
He did not assume automatically that the girl liked him, he did ask her.Originally posted by UsedKill:I asked whether she had feelings for me, she replied she saying "abit" but she needed to get over her ex bf stuff first.
He has said he would have been ok with the girl wanting to choose to be with someone else. Point here is how she lied about things and wasn't honest with TS. I know it's not going to be easy to tell someone else they are not the one, but one thing is for sure is she could have handled it better. Don't blindly defend a girl you don't know just because you're a lady yourself.So please, spare yourself some heartache. The chances of you getting that girl is just as good as the other guys she knows.
I know most guys in such situation thinks they are the Knight in Shining armor.
The protector of the weak, and therefore have access to priviledges other guys do not get. 10% true.
Hmm..... I don't think it can be his fault for trusting the other person for what they say, since it is a friend afterall at the very least? Him being trusting or even overly naive and trusting doesn't mean she should lie to him still.Originally posted by Bontakun:How about both parties at fault?

Well said, truly good advice and insight. Was going to post something similar but I think you've said it much better than I could have.Originally posted by untitledwav:i know what you mean. she was quite indirect in the way she dealt with you. looking back at it, it's rather obvious that asking not to rush into a relationship, needing to get over her ex and her mother's approval were excuses all along. just as gigabyte14 and T.Ryousuke said, it may be that she doesn't want to hurt your feelings, coz afterall you were being nice to her and all, and she doesn't want to confront you directly. but on the other hand, she doesn't seem to be someone who takes responsibility for her relationships either, preferring to push them to her ex and her mother. or maybe it's a bit of both.
you can't really blame her for replying "abit" when you asked her if she had feelings for you, saying "no" would've been pretty nasty. i wouldn't know what to say if i were suddenly caught offguard with that question either. but either way, being really cold to you for a long period of time was probably her way of not letting you on. and so that was her reply to you afterall, just that it didn't quite get through. when she told you that she felt she could trust you, she meant just that, and she just needed someone to talk to. and when she said she felt lucky to be loved by you, it was probably her way of thanking you for being there for her. she probably realized that it was leading you on, and chose to just avoid you and the problem, hoping it would go away.
i agree with you that her way of handling things was not perfect, but i don't think she was intent on fooling you from the very start. afterall everyone needs someone to confide in, just that things didn't turn out the way they should. it wasn't any one person's fault. the important thing is to cherish what you've had, and move on. there will always be better things to come.
No probs..... all the best from now on.Originally posted by UsedKill:Thanks SumOne for clearing things up
Thanks.Originally posted by SumOne:Well said, truly good advice and insight. Was going to post something similar but I think you've said it much better than I could have.
don't we all assume things based on what we're told.Originally posted by SumOne:p.s; she does have a track record of making wrong assumptions.
Well.... in this case, TS gave enough info to not make such assumptions. In any case, I don't wish to elaborate on that point. But if needs be, I stand by what was said.Originally posted by untitledwav:don't we all assume things based on what we're told.
I think usedkill will grow up from this experience. Ppl can tell u everything and anything, paint the picture beautifully for you, but u can never be certain they meant what they said. Sometimes ppl can say things because at that point of time they felt really good about it, but in another time, they may not think so. These days ppl have many choices for their partners, u shouldn't take relationships too seriously, not especially at ur age. we are not living in our parents times. get married at 21 or younger and that's it for life.Originally posted by untitledwav:i know what you mean. she was quite indirect in the way she dealt with you. looking back at it, it's rather obvious that asking not to rush into a relationship, needing to get over her ex and her mother's approval were excuses all along. just as gigabyte14 and T.Ryousuke said, it may be that she doesn't want to hurt your feelings, coz afterall you were being nice to her and all, and she doesn't want to confront you directly. but on the other hand, she doesn't seem to be someone who takes responsibility for her relationships either, preferring to push them to her ex and her mother. or maybe it's a bit of both.

I hope you learnt your lesson well. You know what type of girls to avoid now. What I can deduce from this is she is making you wait as a spare tyre so actually you should not wait and don't rush into the confession so fast as well. I won't be surprised if she calls you again when her abusive bf dumps her or whatever.Originally posted by UsedKill:Thanks SumOne for clearing things up
I tink she shared with you too fast and you absorbed too fast. Sharing with you so many things at one go may somehow mislead you into thinking the r/s btwn you 2 are going great and assume you 2 really hit it off well and can relate well when actually things are going abit too fast for you 2.Originally posted by UsedKill:She did talk to me about her family and friends but I have never met them personally.
She shared with me many details about her life and stuff. Said she trusted me
Make her regret by becoming a better bf and great husband of yr future wife. You never did anything wrong and this kind of gal is not worth getting yr nerve!Originally posted by UsedKill:Thanks. I want to make it clear that I would respect her decision fully(though of course I would be sad for a while) if she told me she loves the other guy and wants to be with him. She had no obligation to be with me since I wasn't even her bf. But it was all the lies that she fabricated that made me so shattered. My image of her is totally ruined. I want nothing to do with her anymore
