This past summer I met a girl from out of state through mutual friends

This past summer I met a girl from out of state through mutual friends. At first I thought she was cute but didn’t expect much we were strangers after all. But after that initial meeting I learned she was interested in me and naturally I became interested too. We hung out a few times before I asked her out and from there we started dating. We shared sweet moments hugs cuddles kisses nothing physical beyond that but it wasn’t about that anyway. We both knew our time was limited before she had to return home.
And honestly that summer was amazing. I had a great time with her and it felt like she did too. But here’s where things got complicated. She told me upfront that she couldn’t prioritize a relationship being in college living in another state and all that. Still she knew I was looking for something real something meaningful. Despite that we continued seeing each other until she left.
It’s 2025 everyone has a phone and replying to a text takes seconds. We stayed in touch for a while texting and calling occasionally but eventually she grew distant. I get that life gets busy but then she told me she didn’t want to pursue anything further. She said I made her feel good and that she enjoyed our time together but then cut things off. Isn’t that contradictory?
She claimed she wanted to get to know me and she knew I wanted more romantically. She still chose to engage with me knowing my intentions. And in that short time I genuinely fell for her. I cared deeply. But clearly she didn’t feel the same
Isn’t it a bit immature to keep entertaining someone when your intentions don’t align? Sure I could’ve taken the hint when she said she couldn’t prioritize a relationship but I’m someone who believes in love I don’t give up easily. From the outside it looked like we were building something solid. She said she liked me and it felt like we were on the right path. But then she just... stopped trying.
She told me We tried and it didn’t work. But to me it felt like it was working until she gave up. I would’ve done so much for her.
I understand there were factors long distance college stress maybe fear of commitment. But I still feel hurt. And recently I found out she’s talking to someone else. So was I lied to? Or just not worth the effort? Either way I wish she had communicated better.
It feels like I was just an experiment something temporary. I didn’t see it coming and I got too invested. But I saw something good in her something worth choosing. And while these emotions may fade I’ll hold onto the good memories. She left a mark on me. I genuinely wish her well but I also hope she reflects on how she handled things not out of bitterness but so she can grow from it.
What do you think? I believe we both made mistakes but also had good intentions. We’re human after all. Maybe she’s just afraid of commitment.
