Bro, just let it be and move on.
She's just not into you like that.
Let it be.

I made the same mistake as you OP. But now that I think about it, you're better off without her because sooner or later you're going to find someone who'll actually give you the time of the day.
Count it as her loss.

Well if she has cancer then she probably has a lot on her plate including surgery. Have you tried reaching out to her again to see how her surgery went? That sounds like a traumatic experience.

Your case is different man. So my advice won’t follow regular game principles.
I think the girl is distancing you because she cares. So, I would recommend you to persist. Be in touch. Don’t inundate her with messages but don’t lose the touch.
Go see her. And yet don’t push it.

Look… she won’t reach back. As much as I feel the situation.
Go to the hospital, visit her, she how she is. But on top of it (a little game enters - can’t help), be icy cold. No neediness. Even take some flowers. But the aura you need to project, is non needy.
Even after you come back, do not write to her. Give her the wait.

This is not good advice, all your gonna look like is a clingy creep
[–]are_those_real 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You know the situation best and seems like you know where the boundaries are as to whether you should show up in person.
I'll tell you this, Right now it seems she's overwhelmed by a lot of personal stuff and dating/a relationship is just another thing to worry about if she chooses to pursue you. Often times cancer causes us to act differently than we usually do. A mix of being aware of ones own mortality, feeling fatigued and drained, and the loneliness it brings. Often people's attachment styles come out at full force. Afraid of dying and hurting someone by getting close can lead to a person with avoidant attachment to runaway and close off.
So I recommend keeping in touch and not pushing for a meetup for a bit. Enough to show you care and will respect her space.
However, I think you are on the right path of wanting to see other people but I would like for you to change your mindset. If you start dating again it's not to try and forget this person. It's because you want to be with someone who is emotionally available. The fact that you are capable of having this connection with someone is amazing and beautiful. It sucks that they're not available or willing to put in the effort needed to let it grow. So even if you remain in contact with her, it's okay to date other people because she has not shown through her actions that she is willing to do whatever it takes to make a relationship work.
Also be careful with your oneitis. This girl wasn't perfect for you. If she was then she'd want to be with you. She had/has the potential for it but so do a lot of other women. That's where the abundance mentality comes from. Being aware that there are a lot of other women out there who would gladly date you and be in a relationship with you. So if one girl says "no", it's okay because there are other people out there you are capable of having a strong connection with.

The cold hard truth is she met someone "better" . That could mean a hot guy that banged her well, maybe went to a bar and hooked up, maybe someone with more financial security. Does it really matter? Dating is a shit show right now and women don't value the connection as much as you think or as you've been trained to think. The narrative since we were young was that women are special snowflakes and you need to woo them n shit. Nope, nope, nope. The same snowflakes are the ones getting fucked in the back of a car by Chads, are the ones that cheat on long relationships ( i had a couple of 18 yo that were in a relationship 2+years but not that happy that cheated with me. You would of thought they are the most loyal girls, nope )
I've been in a country where i was perceived as top 10% , i had girls lined up all week. The most sweetest that " i just want a relationship " were ok when i told them i just wanna have fun. We fucked and they would come around when i told them to.
Is it cold? yeap. But you need to understand from the point of view of women. In their dna it's to find the best guy in their surroundings. So if that means sharing him with 10-20 other girls, so be it. They won't acknowledge that but they do know.
the thing is their surroundings are not the small village, the city, the campus, the social circle. Nope, it's the god damn internet now. So it's not you vs the guy next door, it's you vs the bodybuilder, the millionaire, the fuck boy. These guys have so many options they will almost never settle. So round and round they go.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

[–]Thomas_2001_ 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would advice giving it some time and wait with dating if it doesn't feel right. It's not bad to think about the girl, just don't hurt yourself with negative thoughts and think about what you "could have done". If it didn't work out it might be better that way. And there are so many women in the world that you don't know, so your thought about her "being the one for you" is not that rational.
Be honest too yourself about these thoughts and don't lose yourself in self pity. It won't make yourself feel better and it would definitely not make you look better in the eyes of the girl. Just keep saying this to yourself and maybe in the future send a casual message asking for another date.
[–]sojournly 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think you should def ask her how the surgery went! Then dunno, maybe text her once in a while. Seems she's going through a lot, and being in a relationship and/or constant communication IS a lot and can be very tiring. Be a friend if she needs one but don't expect much? (I'm a woman)
[–]vicvicious420 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Cancer is depressing. I imagine e she's trying to live a normal life but reality sets in and makes you not wanna try. Just picture yourself dealing with possibly dying. I don't think romance would be something you put all your energy in to. Don't give up though. Let it be, move on and keep trying. If you stop trying you won't find what you're looking for, and once you find what youre looking for all that suffering will finally lead to peace of mind and happiness.

How do you fall for someone over two dates and some texting, realistically she probably found some other dude who banged her better or was more attractive
Just move on g

[–]Beautiful_Site_3432 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sounds like a tough break and I feel for you. I fell out of a relationship not too long ago. It's been tough trying to meet someone new especially when my attempts seem to fall flat before a first date. I go out dancing with my buddy and do a good job getting girls to dance back but none have stuck. As a Catholic, I've been trying to change my mentality to 'God will bring the right person in my life'. Basically, putting my destine in God's hands and taking some of the burden and stress off my shoulders. I just need to trust in him, make myself into a better man, and keep putting myself out there. Probably doesn't hurt to reach out to her, but if it's not meant to be it will eventually with the right person in time.

Bunch of reasons, the fixation on women is probably the worst disease we have as modern men, there’s nothing to be accomplished by obsessing over a female it puts you in such a low place you feel horrible,luckily there’s a quick solution to this, go get hit in the face and find out you’re not made of glass, hit the other guy and prove you can dish out some punishment too. You’ll feel more like a man after a few sessions, trust me.
[–]IsDev101 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women hate when you invest too much and show that you really care, so keep that in mind for the next girl.
Also trying not to be so vulnerable could help you, if you feel a "connection" keep in mind that she is probably just seeing you as a pastime and play it cool.
It sucks, it really does, but this is what i learned from my experience
[–]indigo_pirate 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You were probably a bit too much.
Match the energy
[–]Skizznitt 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Perfect advice here. She felt overwhelmed and like things were moving way too fast for her liking. Always match the energy. If they're not in it 50%, back off until they come into you more.
[+][deleted] -7 points-6 points-5 points 3 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Blow up her phone, let her know you care lol

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points-3 points 3 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Oh yeah just keep texting her until she answers, even if it's like 100 messages, she will definitely know you care. He response to this could be bad lol but at least you will know.
[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points-3 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
No bro, girls love it when you send them constant text messages. If they don't respond it just means you need to send more
[–]SupremeBBC 7 points8 points9 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

A lot of things could be happening but if she's not willing to tell you I don't know that you have anything else you can do other than move on to someone else whether or not she gets along with you if you move faster than she does she will lose interest
[–]ProbableCoconut385 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ight look man , I dont think any of the comments above might be really helpful , which is fair enough because of the lack of context , and by context I mean something that is so important , which is body language .
I ain't some kinda psychiatrist but it's more likely either she cares about you but just having hella lot of shit and would rather not ruin someone else's life , or she just lost interest .
And it's really up to you to try to figure out which one of these situations is it .
So I'd say reddit (and especially this subreddit since its more of a seduction/hookup thing than a relationship advice sub or smth) wouldn't help you as much , instead try not to seem needy , or well why not but only for a bit , since fuck it you can always ghost , try to give her some time and try to talk to her , face to face , while tryna not to make shit awkward , and while literally analysing every single shit she says or does in the convo , and I'm sure that you'll know what to do later on

Why do you even date the girl version of yourself. 🤔
[–]Poutypigeon21 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You’re trying too hard.
She can smell the desperation on you.
Sorry to be blunt.
[–]organbakery 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Let it go, she's not interested.
