A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Heya everyone,

I've liked this girl, for about a year now (I think), I asked her out a while ago and she said yes but we didn't eventually. A couple of months ago she started getting close to one of my best friends (not bf and gf, just close mates) and she's being not as talkative to me.

Since this I've started to get really jealous and annoyed at her even when I don't want to. A few weeks later we talked to each other about everything (me liking her etc), she said that nothing was gonna happen between us and that she's been giving me the cold shoulder to make me stop liking her and that she'll keep doing it until I stop liking her.

Back to now: I still get jealous every now and then but I'm sure I don't like her. Yet she doesn't seem to want to talk to me. We do talk but I have to start talking to her to start a conversation and when we do talk I get the feeling she doesn't want to (she's using short sentences and not really asking any questions back)

Does she still want to be friends and stuff? Is she still giving me the cold shoulder?

Thanks, sorry for the long post haha :)

PS Before all of this we were good friends and we talked to each other without a problem.

It's pretty hard to get past the awkwardness of a breakup. Especially when you have lingering thoughts and she pretty much knows it.

"Back to now: I still get jealous every now and then but I'm sure I don't like her."

That is a contradiction. If you are still getting jealous of those who spend time with her (and are potentially dating her), then chances are you still like her on some level.

If you truly just want to be her friend, and even if you still like her and are basically scheming, I think dating someone else will really do the trick for you. That will prove to her that you are capable of moving on and she will be more comfortable around you. Then, take it from there whatever direction you would like..

Give it some time. Start dating someone else. Then see if she will talk to you.
