Thanks everyone for the replies. I’ve been thinking about doing just that, checking in on her as a friend, letting her know that I understand she isn’t ready for a relationship but that I still care about her and still want to be there for her. And maybe eventually she will be, but for now I just want to build a stronger connection with her if she’s willing to let me do that. However, I’m not sure if I should keep myself open to other people or if I should really wait around for her as long as it takes, not knowing if she’ll come around or not. I really do care and feel for her, and as I stated originally talking to other people really doesn’t feel the same.

Thanks everyone for the replies, I’ve been trying to just let things happen but I’m still finding myself feeling upset.
It’s been about a week since we talked at all. She sent me a text a few days ago about something completely unrelated to anything we talked about on the phone and I think that hurt me more than it would have if she hadn’t even said anything because it made me feel like she disregarded how I felt and didn’t even ask how I was doing. I feel unsure if I should try talking to her again, or if I should wait for her to ask me how I feel, or what I should do. I really appreciate all the advice from everyone here, thank you for taking the time to help me through this.
