Search Results: can a guy ever change

I went out with this girl for a bit. She's had some hard things happen, and she told me she thought being around someone more positive like me would help, but she had been involved with some messed up people and even dipped into cocaine at one point.
During our dates, she said she really liked me, and liked how she felt with me. But she cancelled a few dates and sent me this:
hey, so i got my schedule and like i'm just gonna be really busy for the next few days, so I don't know when we'll really find a time that works for both of us... so I thought i'd just message you what I was gonna say... like, I think you're a really great guy, and you're definitely going to make somebody really happy one day, but it just can't be me... i just don't want a relationship right now, or honestly anytime soon.. I really wanna focus on myself for the next few years.. and I just have to be straight up about it.. you're awesome, and if you ever need a friend let me know, but that's all i'm gonna be able to be to you, a friend


I was pretty disappointed, because we were supposed to spend New year's together. But I told her, because I took it as face value, that I hope things change in the future, and we can try again.

I got on tinder to try to meet someone, and I found her on there. Her bio just said she'd looking for people to chill with. But I got instantly pissed off. I feel like she lied to me.
Was she just trying to get rid of me?
