Sometimes, we can't figure ourselves out either. That's often the reason we run from people who like us. Because we don't know what we're thinking.
And my advice concerning this situation? Go to this girl and tell her that you understand that she doesn't feel the same way as you. Tell her that if a romantic relationship won't work, you would love to be just friends with her again. Tell her that you desperately want a friendship with her again. Assure her that you're not gonna try to approach her about this romantic relationship again. (And if you say that, you have to keep the promise).
I once had a young man tell me that he wanted to have his friendship with me back (he'd hurt me pretty badly). I had given him a piece of my mind and had, in essence, threatened to never talk to him again. Scratch that-- I totally intended to never talk to him again, but he apologized profusely and said that if I didn't talk to him again that he would have lost something very special to him. That was important, and after I blew off some steam (directly at him, unfortuneately) I felt bad for having treated him that way when he was so gracious in his apologies.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
