All you'll end up doing is hurting yourself more, and beating yourself up more, if you waste time trying to convince her.
It truly does not mean that there is anything wrong with you. Comparing yourself to the other guy? Is well, pointless. You don't know what she saw in him that she didn't see in you. But it doesn't mean there are things wrong with you.
With the relationships I've been in.... it's always been initiated by the guy. And always ended by the guy. I've yet to be the breaker-upper. I always end up beating myself up over it... because... what on earth is so wrong with me that they can't stand to be around me?
But, when I'm not in the middle of that... I know it's ridiculous. Not everyone is compatable. Sometimes people realize that before they date, other times they learn it at some point during a relationship. And I have to remember that just because it doesn't work, doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with ME.
Asking her why not? Chances are... she won't have an answer to give you. Just that she doesn't see you that way. Have you ever had a female friend that you wouldn't want to date?
I know it's a hard thing to accept. I have the same struggle. And it's soooooo much easier to tell someone else that there isn't anything wrong with THEM yet then turn around and be a hypocrite and go "but there must be something wrong with me!"... I find the best way is to well, point out to myself that if someone told me the same thing that I'd be telling them to knock it off. So I must knock it off myself.

Thanks. But there have been times i have known where people are married and they say "Oh when I met her she did not like me"
I want to say to her i love you but that is only going to make me fel worse when she does not want that. Still i want to say it.
What if i ask her to have a few dates and see where it goes no pressure. There is a concert soon i have tickets.
Why could she not have stayed away from me...dragging it all back up....
Thanks
