I am pretty sure that she is avoiding me for a few reasons. First, I think that she is trying to move on with her new boyfriend and thinks it's over with me. Second, I can't imagine he really likes the fact that she's talking with me at all. The way I see it, when she talks with me, she has to do one of two things:
1. Tell new BF that she spoke to me; 2. Hide the fact she spoke to me from new BF.
I can't imagine either one is a really exciting prospect.
Second, I think that she really does still feel a connection. Trust me, even though I'm prone to do so, I'm not reading things into this. The one time I saw her for any length of time over the last few months she didn't want to leave and she told me I looked good and all of that stuff. I told her I had somewhere to be and ended the visit before she wanted me to. She even initiated a hug.
We've had some good conversations over text message the last few weeks. My DB coach has encouraged these so long as they are positive. I guess the holidays just got me down. As for waiting on her to text me, that's hard b/c I don't know that she will. My only hope in that department is to wait and hope that she wants to see the dogs and she'll have to contact me in order to do that. I'm going to try and talk to my DB coach again soon so maybe she'll have some advice in that department as well.
