My Crazy Friend and some Leo

(sorry this turned out so long)

So, I have this really good friend. We??re both Sag??s. I love her! We've been friends for a year now, since the moment we met. She's great! She's high energy most of the time. She's confident and fun! She's always reaching out to people and helping them. She's very good friend; always listening, always supportive.
Some of the things she's told me about her past: she's been molested by her dad for many years as a very young girl. Her older brother used to be abusive, like hit her, choke her, threaten her life, and her mom was either neglectful or mean most of the time. There were a lot of issues at home. She's very sensitive about it.
But you can't always tell she has problems. She can make friends pretty easy. She stays away from serious dating. Guys hit on her so often and she's really charming and has a lot of fun with the attention. She's really cute and attractive. She has a very —promiscuous?? past. She's very caring but I??ve never seen her actually LIKE or care about any particular guy before. She says she's only really liked one guy before. Until now??_
She's been really unhappy lately and I want to be able to help her or understand what's going on. She's been distant and depressed. She shares with me but I still feel like she's not telling me everything, or I'm just not connecting to what she's going through.
The guys she currently likes (let's call him Mr. A)??_ She's sort of known him for about 2 years now. They??ve been taking the same classes for the same major but they never sat together or talked. Last semester, they sat together the whole time, but hardly spoke. They know each other because this guy??s friend (also in the class) is loud and funny and has bugged her (I haven't met him, but he sounds like a really fun person). If I was her, I??d prefer him. But he's much, much older, so, he's not an option lol). The friend wasn't in the class they actually sat through together though.
This semester Mr. A actually asked her out! She wasn't sure if it was a date at first because he asked like he just wanted to hang out or something. She also didn't know he was into her at all. She's usually good at pin pointing guys that are attracted to her. But she's always been nervous around him too, so that might have kept her from figuring it out.
So, they go on this really nice date. She was so happy!! Her head was in the clouds, she was just fl

So, they go on this really nice date. She was so happy!! Her head was in the clouds, she was just floating and glowing! It was perfect! He was super sweet and a total gentleman! I was so happy for her!!! And they texted none stop for the next couple of days.
But the next time they went out, she asked him to find a dark place to park and she threw herself at him. She says she panicked and was scared. Like, all she wanted to do was push him away already and that these things don't work out anyway??_ And then she texted a bunch of really stupid things, like, —I don't do relationships, I lead men on, the date was just to test the waters...?? And then he said things like, —so all you want to do is fuck, fine, whatever.?? She deleted all these texts. She was upset with what she??d done that she started drinking after he dropped her off, before they had this conversation, so she's not sure what she said either but now she regrets it all??_ She's a little crazy!
The next time they spoke she said she couldn't sleep with him again, that what she had said wasn't true, and —let's just go back to being classmates.?? He said they could still be friends. She was happy about that. She didn't apologize for that night for a long time. She wanted to do it in person, but she wasn't brave enough to. And every time she's texted him since, he's been cold. He doesn't say he doesn't want to talk or that he's busy. He responds, just short and cold.
She's stopped texting him. Says she's going to work on herself. She??d started this —healing?? thing since the summer and I really don't know anything about that but I know it's about the sexual abuse. She said she thought she??d finally changed her bad habits with men, but then she slept with Mr. A.
I think she's making good progress. She's reading a book especially for sexual abuse survivors. Says she's not going to let some guy be her distraction!

(and the rest)
But she talks about him still. Like, a couple of days ago, she dressed a little sexy and even wore makeup (she hardly wears makeup, though her lashes are so long and dark she looks like she's wearing mascara all the time anyway and she has big pretty eyes). Lol she hasn't been sleeping well lately and she decided to skip that night and had extra time to put effort into her look. And he stared!!!!
He came in late with his friend and he couldn't take his eyes off her while they walked by. She also said she thinks she rolled her eyes at the friend because she zoned out during this and he didn't even speak to her during the break. He's the type you??d expect some silly teases from! Mr. A even turned his work in during the lecture instead of waiting for the break like usual and took another good long look at her again.
She's not sure if it was a good thing or bad because during the break they both walked out of the building like they had something serious to talk about. Mr. A had his bag with him and she thought he might not come back. She seemed kind of excited. I think she has it in her head that maybe she can lure him back in by doing more with her appearance. Said something like, —I'm getting over him but I'm going to make him want me again.?? I don't think she's getting over him.
I told her to just talk to him but she says she doesn't know how. She's scared of rejection or something.
I don't know if her behavior is a result of the sexual abuse. She's always had great self-control when it came to men. I don't know why she's obsessed with this one. I don't know what to tell her or if she can actually get him to come around.
She's a Sagittarius and he's a Leo. I??ve read that they??re pretty good matches. But you know it usually doesn't matter if there's no real communication.
I think he's also hurt about the whole thing. He wouldn't be acting different from his usual nice self if he wasn't hurt even a bit. And he wouldn't be hurt if he didn't like her! I wish I could just lock these two in a room and force them to talk it out!

eh, she jumped the gun and pushed him away. ive been guilty of the same. hopefully, he will understand that and come back around.

i wouldnt totally chase him, id just tell him one time what my feelings are and thats that. put the ball in his court.

Lol, Idk why but your telling of someone elses story reminds me of the Great Gatsby.

Poor girl really needs to heal before she brings anyone else into her life or she will just continue to make the same mistakes 😢
