That's the thing. Its too soon to make any assumptions. Sure we have known eachother since April, but we didn't have a conversation about anything remotely serious until the very end of November. Thats when she accepted the lunch date and invited me to church. I never got back to her about both of those, so Its my fault they never happened. Now here we are.

Why weren't conversations serious till last month? Not gonna lie I think 8 months is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a relationship just to START. And why did you turn down her lunch dates? Were you subconsciously angry with her making you wait and decided to get pay back? There is this myth going around that relationships will be stronger if people wait. If two people mutually like each other then there will be no confusion or wondering at all. 8 months is not too soon at all and the fact that she offered a date many months later makes you seem like a backup plan.

There is no more confusion. I was rejected. Have a happy new years.

I don't know why there was confusion in the first place.

She wasn't stringing you along or playing games or trying to convert you so you are the perfect partner, she was being your casual friend, nothing more. It was quite clear to me based on your description...I'm not sure why you chose to read more into it??

Next time, if you ask someone out and they decline (with a valid reason)...try once more. If they still aren't making time for you, they aren't interested in dating you.
