24 hours later, no response. And as I'm sure you might guess based on my history, the lack of a response threw me off and now I'm back in a negative spiral. I know better, but it's hard to avoid.
Sure sounds like a kick in the nuts to me. I also would like to point out how her not responding speaks volumes. She could have said “I don’t think it’s a good idea”. I would like to caution newbies on reading this thread that pursuit does not work and usually pushes them further away as seen above.
I mean, it's sort of irrelevant - the point is, I pursued and it wasn't a good look, regardless of whether she immediately responded or not. The hardest part for me (and I would suspect, a lot of people) is understanding that they're just in a different headspace. For as much as I can sit here and say "Man, we're in a pandemic, all I'm doing is thinking about my loved ones, she must be too!", that's a dangerous assumption and acting on it is even worse. Lesson learned.
