    I'm in my early twenties and never had a proper relationship before. I seem to struggle with the ladies whenever I meet someone. I like to get to know someone first before trying to pursue them. This hasn't actually ever worked for me here, but when I was away last summer I found someone who loved me back, but she couldn't actually because she had a boyfriend, and because I was only around for a short while.
    I am a friendly sociable guy, who doesn't drink and doesnt really go out at weekends socialising - mainly because I've never attached myself to either a small or big group of friends to do so.
    I have many good friends, male and a few female, but seem to question how strong such friendships are (eg. what makes our friendship an actual relationship? What do we have in common?)

    ANYWAY - to the issue at hand.

    I met someone recently and got to know them over the course of a few weeks, but the relationship came to an abrupt end (due to the circumstances under which we got to know each other). I felt I got on very well with this person, but never made it clear I liked her. However, all I was doing was perceiving the situation and getting things straight in my head.

    Anyway I decided to send her a message over the internet afterwards explaining how I felt, hoping she felt likewise, but she didn't (reason being, I was @ a different stage in life than her, older than her, and she has a boyfriend, which was seemed something moot and something I never copped about her when present with her). She suggested we keep in touch, I played down this possibility (as I felt it wasn't actually going to happen). She replied hoping that it will indeed happen.
    She then sent a message a week later (keeping in touch) to which I replied. No answer back though.

    So... a few weeks have passed and... well I'm not sure where to go? I mean is the ball in my court? The reality is I'd like to keep in touch with her, because I truly did find her attractive and most importantly felt that we'd be great together, due to the interests I found we shared. But I'd rather do so by meeting her again, instead of sending messages on the net. I suggested this originally in the first message, but I doubt it'll happen now because she knows my feelings and intentions. If she wasn't still on my mind all the time this wouldn't be an issue, but I'm afraid I cant stop thinking about her. So what should I do???

    Basically, she said, "lets just be friends". Your feelings aren’t reciprocated.
    She isn't interested. Move on.

    On a side note, don't tell a woman how you feel about her until you're in a long term relationship with her. It just smacks of desperation since you come over too strong.
