A male reader, anonymous, writes (9 March 2007):

The best thing you can do is, one be her friend and be there when she needs someone to have fun with. start dating others even if you dont want to...that will get her attention if she is in love with you. Distant yourself from her, refrain from calling her so much, then when she does call you, just say you've been busy with "someone" that'll make her take that step back and to see if she wants to be with you or not. the major thing is space in a relationship if you dont have the space she'll think she "has" to be single to get the space. this may not work for you, but it did for me.

aunty t agony auntIts hard i know but this girl has told you she wants to be Single. She has been honest with you and I think if you tell her you want to get back with her you will push her away. I think for the moment you should just be friends and be there for her if she needs you but other than that i would let things lie for the moment. Maybe in a while you could see if she has changed her mind.

Good luck

AskEve agony auntIf you've told her you feel you can't just be friends with her then why on earth have you invited her over to your house on Tuesday? You obviously want to ask her back but you're only going to end up with egg on your face as she's already told you she's not interested in anything more than friendship.

Do yourself a favour and call her to say you're going to be busy Tuesday night. You'll only make a fool of yourself if you don't. If you want to try and win her back then agree to be her friend but distance yourself from her and make her MISS you! Don't be so available when she rings and don't seem so desperate and needy (women hate that in a man). Be more in control of things, be assertive and let her see you've moved on. Maybe then, when she sees you're not always available or around then she might ask to go back with you again but DON'T let it come from you!!!

cd206 agony auntShe's told you she wants to be single and I doubt her feelings will have changed since the last time she said it. The pressure will probably just drive her further away. Therefore the decision is yours? Would you change your mind and stay friends with her or can't you do that?
