| It is important that you understand why it is necessary for this girl to have her space.
She is still contacting her 'ex' boyfriend. As long as there is contact, there is a relationship.
She knows what you want, which is a relationship. She is not ready, and you applying even the slightest pressure toward that goal will push her away even further.
You cannot go from one relationship, directly into the next, without thought, reflection, time, insight and learning. To go from the frying pay into the fire is only over-cooking your bacon.
She is not really available unless she has first of all, stopped contact with the 'ex', and gone a period of time without being with someone else. (you) Realize that she may think she needs a new and fresh start right away, but to do so isn't likely to be successful.
To get the best possible outcome you have to invest. You invest in respect, patience, understanding, and tolerance. You respect your own life, and get on with it, without waiting to pick up the pieces of someone elses life.
You have already planted a seed, just give it time, and let it grow on its own. |
