    Maybe try backing off a little. Calling and texting and wanting to hang out all the time seems like a little too much too soon. Also, asking to come in, probably also too much too soon. Relax, just try to get to know her. And give her some space.

    What happened to the pregnant girl you were writing about in October?

    Was she the same as this one from September:

    Then from May there is a question about a girl you were living with:
    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...ut-358303.html

    After reading just the most recent threads you have started and I think that not only do you need to give this young woman some space, you need to give yourself some space and time to get to know who you are when you aren't in a relationship. It is almost like you are using relationships to validate your existence. That is not healthy for anyone's self-esteem.

    It seems to me that you need to build up a good relationship with yourself before you get involved with anyone else. You also need to give yourself some resources to keep yourself from falling from one relationship into the next one.

    If a girl told me that. I wouldn't give her the time of day. That pained me just to read that. I could only imagine a girl telling me that. Chalk this up to experience. Learn from it and move forward to a girl that does want you! Be strong!

    This is a tricky question. I can't tell if it was you trying to move too fast and it freaked her out, or if she just flat out doesn't want a romantic relationship with you. Either way, it really is up to you whether you can handle being friends with someone you clearly have deeper feelings for.

    I would suggest taking some time away and thinking this over, the positives and negatives of the situation and making a decision that you think is right for you over time. I imagine you went into this with a mentality that you wanted to date her, not befriend her. While a lot of relationships start as friendships, usually something like this is best left alone, as I have been in this spot before and I would rather back off.

    Fair warning

    You have a history of creating multiple threads. Many of the older threads have already been merged. Please keep all questions regarding the same issue in the same thread so that we can follow your story.

    Friendships aren't suppose to be so dramatic. If you really want to be friends with her, slow things down. Take it one step at the time, don't need to fast-track a friendship.

    But if you want to be friends with her only in hopes of wanting something more, then you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Figure out what you want first before taking the next step.

    Are you capable of just being a friend with absolutely no expectations of anything more? If you said yes to friendship would you be back asking 'why she doesn't want more' or 'how do I get her to want to be more than friends'?

    I still think you need to take a step back and learn to like yourself when you aren't in a relationship. I am afraid that you don't know who you are unless you have some type of drama going on with a female. It isn't healthy for your self-esteem to keep up the cycle you have gotten yourself into. Take time to break it before it breaks you.

    If you know yourself so well why do you have so many relationship problems? That's a sign that you really don't know yourself. If you knew yourself I really think you would be able to decide if you should just accept the offer of friendship and get to know her or not.
