I loved broadcasting. I took all through high school and some college. Then I changed my major to massage therapy.
When you talk to her TRY to sound confident and carefree. Even though its hard, make her WANT to come and see you. Thats what I think you should do. Get her intrigued on what you are up to.

I was thinking of just calling and keeping it short,

"Hey Shan, I got your e-mail and was just calling to let you know I won't be able to make it this week; I've got several appointments to keep and people I need to meet with. Anyhow, I've got to get going, I've got a lot of stuff to do - bye!"

In the same sense I don't want to seem cold...yet - maybe that will get her thinking about things.

That is the PERFECT thing to say. Perfect. It doesnt sound cold or like you are trying to avoid her. Plus, it makes it sound like you really wanted to spend time with her, but you are not giving EVERYTHING up. Hopefully she will ask again soon and WANT to be with you again!!!!

How would you react if you were my W in this situation and you didnt know if you loved me; but in a sense you did care and I said that to you?

I don't want it to push her away; I want it to make her want to be with me more, ya know? Show her I'm not clingy and that I can live life without her if need be.

You think she'd call me back eventually after having time to sit on it? Last thing I want is to say that and never have her call me back again - cuz if I call her tomorrow I'm NOT calling until she calls me back.

Like I said that is Perfect. I sounds good. If I heard that I would definetly be like, "wow I wonder what he's doing?" then I would call you to hang out.

how is me not hanging out with her going to want her to hang out though? She already doesn't seem very interested to begin with.

I think its because she thinks that you are just waiting around for her. Like you have nothing else to do. So if she sees that you do and that your trying to better your life then she will want to be part of it. Maybe will can help her see how much you have changed and how much you love her. And if she doesnt and she takes it in a negative way, then sorry but maybe she wants to move on? I dont know what else to say.

yeah - if she wants to move on; its her loss. I don't need someone who is so unforgiving in my life if thats the case.

I'll let things play out tomorrow and see how things work out. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Well, it was - but its not anymore because I think my W has been reading it; and those arent exactly the things I want her to be reading right now.
