Curious Question

 This was a comment on another blog, but it got me thinking...
--------------
I was kinda hanging out and when on one date with this girl, who later send me a message on facebook telling me she didn't feel the same but wanted to be friends. At the time I didn't think much of it but later I thought it was lame since I asked her out on the date in person she could at least have told me her feelings in person. Now our friendship is awkward because she never really wanted/wants to talk about why she ended it or how we can be friends... I am trying to figure out if I should talk to her or just screw it and not talk to her anymore. It has been a little over a year and she only wants to hang out in groups to separate our dating from our friendship (which she said in another message on facebook a few weeks later after she said she wanted to still hang out still).

I really haven't done anything since I don't know what to do, lol - life is great isnt it?
------------

Should I try to talk with her and sort out our friendship?

Should I write a letter, call, meet in person?

Should I just say whatever, screw it, I tried for a year to be friends on an individual basis by every now and then trying to see whats up, dealing with unanswered calls, voicemails, and fb messages, & trying to hang out with her... so now just let it go, and just admit we are not friends anymore?

Just curious

p.s. - We never even did things like hold hands or kiss or get romantic, so I don't know why there is this big ideal that WE must draw away from one another, cause it didn't seem like we were really attached to begin with. I have tried to be friends and every few weeks or sometimes only once am month or so contact her and see whats up, usually my calls or vociemails or messages not being returned (She also has problems with forgetfulness and anxiety but that might be an excuse for being passive). I have another mild guess that a lot of this may be because she has issues to sort though but I might just be projected that on her so I don't think it was me she really rejected.

I say screw it. You shouldn't have to put up with that nonsense and foolishness. Find someone that will at least be a better friend to you.

@sparkletone1684 - Thanks, that is kinda what I am thinking.. i suppose I just dont make a lot of friends and those who I do become friends with I really chereish, so it sucks when I have to let or drop friends, ya know?

oh trust... I definitely know how that is. I tend to get attached kind of quickly, so it's a big let down if I have to let friends go. I've gotten better at it, but only because I had to.

I agree don't make anymore effort.  Ironically its when you make no effort that she may be more interested.  I know this sound crazy and as Christians we are not meant to play games but I have seen this over and over again.

Thanks for the advice... and I think the next time I hear, "I really still want to be friends" or any kinda variation if that I am going to simply say, "we will see... wont we?" or something like that at least...

it may not be appropriate to say it... because it could work out. I would sure enough think it though. You don't wanna always assume the worst, because you could end up pleasantly surprised and make a new friend

@sparkletone1684 - it always starts with a new friend, then I like her, then she says she wants to just be friends, and then we are not friends - I have been thorugh this cycle three times (in a row now) and try not to be pessimistic and cynicle but it is hard sometimes...

@sparkletone1684 - 

Well our group that she is in of friends was supposed to hang out this weekend but it didnt happen.. and last night I finally sent her one last msg through FB and e-mail, so as far as I am concerned it is up to her now but I just cant anymore.. This is what I wrote her:

"So, it has been like over a year and I have tried from time to time to see if we could have some similar friendship like we once did but it has always felt kinda one-sided... but hey, you have my info if you ever change your mind you can always feel free to let me know and/or also let me know how things are going with you and then I will definitely be excited to let ya know how things are going with me as well, otherwise I suppose I will see ya only if/when our group gets together if/when [our mutual friend] comes to town. Just know I will always keep you in my prayers as my sister in Christ and after everything I think I will miss the brief and good friendship we once had the most."

I think it is short and gets the point across.. I think on one hand it could make her sad but I really am tired of trying and want her to know how I feel after all this time, so if she wants to be friends fine... if not then I am done. Thanks for your comments guys, it was hard trying to think about calling or visiting her or even writing a letter so I think a very short and brief message worked the best.

I would just screw it and not talk to her anymore but that is me. Someone that is not interested isn't worth your time. If what your looking for is a helpmeet/soulmate/wife. If you want a friend then maybe that is a different story.

@derekwilson24 - Well, I was interested in her that way but she wasnt and that was over a year ago, so all I would really like is a friend, and I would prefer if at least one female who says "I just want to be friends" actually meant it. As of now I am 3 for 3 and the ratio of female friends lying(saying that classic phraze to me and then bailing).. If I could tell them one thing it would be, dont say something your not going to even try to follow through with or just admit it is tough and tell me instead of ignoring me, it is just so rude and juvenille in my opinion.
