She said that she's emotionally unavailable?

[Anonymous]

So this girl I like broke up with her boyfriend about a month or so ago. We've been taking and even went out a few times. All of a sudden she said to me that she wants to be honest with me because she doesn't want me to hate her. She then said that she isn't in the right mind set for a relationship. She is emotionally unavailable right now. She doesn't want me to think tht she's leading me on. Then she said that I'm a great guy and that she would date me in a heartbeat but it's not a good time for her. Now I know what it normally means and I should pack it in but Could she actually come around and in that case stick around and wait until she's ready or is there no possibility of that and that was just a nice way of saying she's not interested in me? Should I stick around and try to make her see that I won't her her? I should note that she initiated conversations with me when she was single again. What should I do?

A month is actually not a long time for someone who's just gotten out of a breakup. Mentally, she's still dealing with the effects of it so she's going to be emotionally unavailable until she has healed and settled her emotions and feels ready to start something with someone else again. If you really want her, just be her friend and give her time.

It's a good thing she hasn't jumped into anything too fast with you because otherwise you'd be a rebound and it wouldn't be genuine. She has respected you and herself enough to hold off, so just be her friend for now.

This happens when just getting out of a relationship. Her breakup is still fresh. She is still processing the breakup and has emotions flying everywhere. Its best not to jump into a relationship so quickly. I think that she made the right desicion. Its better this way instead of you two dating and once you are deeply attached she ends it.

Clearly she likes you but due to her past relationship maybe there's just some stuff there she needs to deal with before jumping into anything serious again. I'd stick around with her... there would be something there in the future. Just give her some time.
