So, I've have this friend I have not seen since 4 months ago. Before that 3 months. We parted with the understanding that we would simply be friends. Our contact with each other have been limited to e-mail or TXTs and those two times.
Until about a month ago. I saw her at a friend's party. We knew that we would see each other then. It was dinner at a restaurant. After, we went back to our friend's place. All through the night, we were just being "mates": inconsequential banter and playful arguments about some news stories in our area. So we both (and the whole party) had a good night - like we always do when we see each other.
Anyway, after I said my goodbyes, she walked me out the door. Then she walked me home. I don't live far from our friend's house but it wasn't just next door either: about 5 minutes. Anyway, I didn't challenge her about this walk. E.g. "What are you doing?" Nor did I assume anything about or questioned our friendship. E.g. "I thought we were just friends." And so, I simply said my good byes with "Good night and thanks for a fun evening." Hugged. Cheek-kissed. And we went our separate ways. The next day she TXTed me with "It was great to see you again last night." And I returned the compliment. The next few days we had friendly banter over e-mail and FB every other day or so. Back to how we were but with a little more frequency and flirtiness. It started to slow-down this last week.
So, I try to reconnect again - but slowly: an invite to the movies with others from our circle of friends. One line reply from her: "I can't. Am busy." And that's it.
Someone, please tell me I'm over-reacting and I should just move on. I can't be hanging around you Cap kids forever - which seems to be happening. (As I read this in black and white, my pragmatic self is definitely saying: move on. There is nothing there.)
