Just before Christmas I made a thread about a girl I like.
It's this one here:

Anyway I'd like to follow up on the progress of what is happening with this and get peoples thoughts.

So, we'd agreed to meet up sometime after the new year. New years eve came and she sent me a text saying happy new year. That made me real happy and I sent her one back wishing her well.

For the next two weeks I was pretty hopeful, excited and anxious. Then the first weekend of the new year came by and I sent her a text. It was a pretty straight forward "fancy meeting up" deal. She got back to me and said that it was a bad time. She was moving her stuff out of her ex's place and asked whether it would be OK if we did it the next week instead. I got the impression it was a bit of a "I'm washing my hair" line since we could have fit it in, but for the most part I could buy it. No point in rushing things like that.

The next week comes and I send her another text. I didn't ask to meet up, it was more of an exploratory thing just to see if she was still interested. She was rather curt in her response and didn't reply to my follow up text at all. I got a bad feeling about it and the next day sent her a rather wordy text that could be paraphrased as "so are we going to do this or what?" Not the best thing to say and my frustration was showing.

She got back to me saying "sorry, I like you but I've just got out of a relationship and I'm not looking for anything right now".

I reacted pretty badly to that - got really defensive and told her that I was only looking for a friend, which she seemed really shocked and embarrassed about. Perhaps even a little let down. Then I sent her another text that I'm quite ashamed of. It really showed my insecurity and I don't think put me in a good light at all.

She didn't respond to that one.

That was last night. Feeling calmer in the morning I sent her the following message:

"Listen, my last text was kind of dishonest. I was being defensive. I'm sorry. I do like you. Always felt the feeling was mutual. I'll leave you be now and not be in touch again, but I'd welcome a call if you do decide you would like to know me better. X"

So there it is. I feel like I've blown it. The only good thing to come from the exchange is that we've both admitted we like each other. What do you peeps think?
