Need a bit of advice!

I have fallen for a 23 yr old girl, and hmm she happens to be 5 yrs younger to me(she is a libran and I am a taurus.)

After a few months of talking to her and meeting her I slowly started to fall for her, and one day I went and told her about my liking for her! She asked me a lotttt of questions! Since when I started falling for her? Why do I like her? n tons more questions! Well eventually, she said that she think she is very eccentric and she feels she can leave anyone anytime, and she doesnt want to hurt me! All through the conversation she kept insisting that we should remain friends as we have a lotta interesting conversations ranging from buddhism to communism!

anyway! so I took her answer as a polite NO! Well my feelings for her did not die, and are still alive. Almost every weekend we do go out n watch movies or to some concert or long drives!

Few days back I made another attempt ,I SMSed her a romantic poem which I had written for her, and in my sms I had mentioned that it was dedicated to her. She did tell me she did not recieve the complete poem, so I told her I would send her again! But she did not say a word again about the poem except "recieved it" or anything else regarding it. I also did not bring up the topic during our talks, she still continues to talk to me very normally.
hmm I am confused as what I should do? Should I give up on her completely? or Should I keep trying?

You wrote her a poem? How wonderful 😄 I feel from this thread that you are very worried about how she feels about it. Please don't worry too much 🙂 Depending on the details, it may take her a while to process it all.

Creepy. Sorry. She turned you down, so you wrote her a love poem...............

:/
You're sweet

I wrote her a poem 3 months later after she turned me down! lol

ahh! yea maybe! But I am still hopefull! 🙂 Slow n Stady wins the race! I aint gonna leave any stone unturned ! Maybe some chocolates n dinners will do the miracle!
(keeping fingures crossed)

your original question was if you should continue or keep trying. Coming from a fellow Taurus, my advice is to stop coming on so strong. She expressed she wanted to be just friends, but 3 months later you send her a poem via SMS? That's creepy. Your slow and steady wins the race motto is not going to get you anywhere with this chick. If she were interested or flattered with your gesture by writing that poem, she would have said more than that she "received it".

I agree with Houstonpeach and I still say that it doesn't mean she doesn't like you, it could mean that she is "processing" things. Meanwhile, you don't have to wait for her, if someone else comes along, then thats cool too. However, she may want to be just friends with you right now to see if you are potential boyfriend material, you know?

Actually what confuses me is that sometimes she is very blunt about her dislikes and likes! She isnt a very diplomatic kind of person! n what really bugs me is that she doesnt give me an answer in black n white!
When I read Cappy's message, it struck me that the gal i like , hasnt yet been able to decide since last 2 months if she should resign from her present job, she says she is confused as what should take priority, Work Ethics or her Selfish reason for quitting the job.

But yeah like you all advise, I will keep my mind open & will keep talking as usual with her!
