As regards people seeing me as pathetic - that's their problem.
Not "people", just her. I just related this in another thread, but back before I got married I dated a girl and broke up with her and she was sad, clingy and needy. Begged me to take her back. I found it repulsive. I later dated another girl and broke up with her and she moved right along like it didn't bother her a bit. That made me wonder if what I did was the right decision, and I started temp checking her. The point is that it is human nature to want what is difficult to get and to not really care about something/ someone that isn't a challenge. Right now she'll find your pursuit to be sad/ desperate/ pathetic. You seem to be having a lot of trouble grasping this concept!

I am giving her space but there is a chance she may break the silence soon and I want to be prepared.
If she breaks the silence it won't be for the reasons you're hoping. AT BEST it'll be to make sure you are still Plan B. With time who knows, but it's too soon right now.
