Thanks for your words, @Inky. I’m Australian so we finish our finals during Winter and then have the cold to look forward to haha. She has opened up to me considerably over the past month, even through limited conversations during exams. It makes it a little harder given she lives about 45mins from me, which isn’t a big deal at all but it makes it harder to just spontaneously hang out. To answer your question: yes I definitely want to bank some huge time with her over the break, so that’ll be fun. It’s not that she’s introverted in her communication, it’s just in showing her feelings and relaying those to me. I remember a turning point was when I was talking about my ex and she suddenly exploded about it and told me she was interested in me and to stop talking about her because it made her jealous. That was probably the first time she was explicit in her feelings for me. Sometimes I just wish should could be a little more ‘mainstream’; you know, I wouldn’t mind some back every now and then. But she feels really awkward doing it. I don’t presume to know why other than that’s simply her. Oh well. Thanks for the advice. Although I don’t think I can move on so quickly. I give people so much time, at least the ones I actually end up liking. I know it’s a positive attribute but at the moment it’s just feeling more of a burden than anything satisfying.
