Dear Gustavo:

You are welcome. I agree that likely, a friendship, or more precisely, a friendly acquaintance is “all that can happen now”. There is always a risk of rejection when you express a romantic interest in a woman when you don’t know her position in advance. Every man experiences rejection some of the time. It takes courage to do what you did, and it will take courage to .. not get too discouraged and be able and willing to approach yet another woman in the future.

I suppose you learned that if you are interested in a woman and she tells you she is not over an ex and is not ready for a relationship, better not hang out with her, and better not express to her any romantic feelings and interest in her, and instead, better “let her go” (in title of your thread). Do you agree?
