I assume she told you this? If so, why are you not at least faking in front of her? You are forcing her to defend those choices and validating them b/c the more you show up with an empty bucket of need for her to fill, which she does not want to fill (I'm guessing she wants a man who will fill some of HER needs, like a partner) the more you'll push her away and confirm her discomfort around you. Please read the posts and digest them. You want her to feel comfortable around you, not guilt ridden. The more that happens, by backing off ALL R talk and being upbeat, the more likely you will be able to build some sort of friendship down the road. That's a start.



These are pearls of wisdom, especially the first sentence. Keep em' coming please!
