Earlier this year I met a girl (E) and we went on a couple dates that each lasted around 8+ hours. We had a great time, talked constantly, had long phone calls, kissed, and I felt there was strong chemistry. She told me she wanted to stay single and wasn’t looking for a relationship, but we continued talking for a while as friends.
Over time her communication became inconsistent and she would sometimes take a long time to respond. Eventually she stopped responding altogether. I got hurt and sent a few emotional/frustrated texts about her not replying, which I regret because looking back I don’t think I handled it well. At the same time, I also feel it was unfair for her to simply stop responding instead of communicating directly.
It’s been several months now. I haven’t really gotten over her and lately I’ve been thinking about her more, especially after losing my cat a couple months ago and having more free time. As far as I know I’m blocked. Part of me wants to reach out and apologize for how I reacted, but another part of me feels I should respect her decision and leave her alone.
Would reaching out with a brief apology be appropriate, or should I just let it go and move on?
