I visited the country of a lady I've got to know recently, and we became quite close. I left abruptly though, though I realised my feelings when I got to the airport, calling her to tell her how I felt. She was emotional and surprised I think, and made me promise to return, and emailed me soon after to try to persuade me to come back as soon as possible. I couldn't right away, as I'd booked all these flights and things which I couldn't cancel, and promised to see some people, and though I tried to keep in touch, she's been increasingly bad at doing so with me.
Anyway, I emailed her yesterday to tell her how much I like her, how I've been thinking about her so much while I've been travelling, and that I really care about her. Etc. etc.
She's replied today with a short message, asking me to give her some time to reply.
When a woman says this, it can only be negative can it not? If she felt something like the same way, she wouldn't ask me to give her time like this would she? It just feels like she needs the time to write back, letting me down gently. If she was happy to hear this, and felt anything like the same, she'd reply immediately, wouldn't she? I think I am fatalistic, or maybe my emotions just rule my head, but I can't help but think it can be anything other than bad news.
