Hi.

I recently met this girl in a club, she was all over me. This is the time I only ever ask girls for their numbers. Anyway I asked her for her number, and she said you're messing. I did want her number so after convincing her I wasn't lying I got it. I don't know whether to take that as a good sign or a bad sign. We have exchanged texts etc, she said she recently had a boyfriend and it didn't work out so she said she doesn't want me to get my hopes up. She agreed to meet me and said see how it goes from there. She said she would ring me as well tomorrow.

I am asking for other peoples views on this as what she said to me seems like a nice way to say lets just be friends or I am not interested in you and its something for her to fall back on. Then I think she could be telling the truth. I don't know what to think, I am confused. I also don't want to seem desperate if there is a next time I speak to her.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks.

darksecretangel agony auntHey

Since she has just come out of a relationship, she is going to be on the rebound a bit. Maybe she just doesnt want you to think that this meeting is going to change anything between you two. If things dont go well tommorow at least you have been prepared for the worst and you wont be as let down as you probably would have been before if she hadnt said anything.

Hope things go well for tommorow good luck xx

AskEve agony auntFrom what she's text you, ie "she recently had a boyfriend and it didn't work out so she said she doesn't want me to get my hopes up" indicates just that! Wait to see if she turns up tomorrow, if she didn't like you enough to go out with then she wouldn't have agreed to meet you. If she DOES turn up then just take things slowly with her as she's not long out of a relationship.

If she calls or texts to cancel meeting with you then I'd forget about her and move on.

YummyMummy agony auntThe woman has been hurt by a boyfriend not that long ago and she's told you not to get your hopes up, probably meaning don't expect too much too soon. Least she has for warned you.

Meet up with her and see how it goes. You may find she realises how you are not her ex and may get closer to you sooner. Give her some getting to know you time :)
