Dear Knight
in Shining Armor,
We all want
to be the knight,
but
I'm sure that to her boyfriend you look like the dragon.
No wonder her boyfriend doesn't want her to go out with her
friends, or is that on dates with her possible (boy)friends.
From her point
of view, if she is just finishing a controlling relationship
with one guy, why would she quickly want to jump into another
relationship, especially if her last one endured 6 years?
Maybe she would like to chill for awhile. Maybe she
would like to find a good rebound relationship. Or maybe
she's looking for the same thing you are. All kinds
of possibilities.
I think that
the best thing to do in this situation is what your instincts
are telling you--not to pressure her. I'd say you've
done the right thing so far.
You've
been honest with her and told her of your attraction.
All the cards are on the table. Invite her to activities
with you, like studying, concerts, or whatever, but certainly
give her room to back off and figure out what she wants.
If the timing
is wrong, even the most fabulous woman may not be a fit with
you. Make yourself available and see what happens.
Lefty
