This similar thing happened to me - I had a boyfriend and he always told me he loved me, and at first i never said it back, and he asked why. I told him that i don't love him, I like him and I'm only 16 big freaking deal. He understood and didn't mind.
- I think what her problem is that her feelings are hurt, she really opened up to you and let you know how she feels and you kind of shut her down. you left her open and vulnerable, and you didn't return the affection.
- it isn't your fault, but for future reference - if you kind of have an idea of what is wrong, don't keep asking what is wrong. for instance in that situation when she broke up with you. you should have said 'I do care about you a lot, but I'm not ready for love. i still wanna be with you' and then apologize.
- you never know how one is going to react, i can't tell you why she is acting so crazy. but it depends on if you want her back or not. if you do, then you need to apologize and say something to help her forgive you. Then its all up to her. - but don't keep harassing her if she cant make her mind up. say what you have to say and leave it.
- And if her friends are your friends, well you need to speak to them - tell them that what has happened has nothing to do with them, and that you hope it doesn't cause anything between yous.
- If you don't want her back, and you cant understand what she does. then i would suggest on forgetting about her. you seem like a nice guy, and she doesn't deserve you.
Note// i kind of in a way, disagree with what others have been saying. that if your in a relationship at 16 then you should love her. being a teen is about experimenting, and being in a relationship. yes, you should really care about her, and like them deeply, unlike any other. But it doesn't have to go as far as 'love', if all teen relationships were 'love' it would last longer, and mean more. at such a time in your life, its about lust, desire, infatuation, what you like. etc etc. - and most guys, have trouble saying exactly what they feel, and or are confused about what they feel.
I can understand that, you really like her on a deep level, but not go as far as being in-love with her. because i have been in the same situation before.
(People often realize, when they fall in-love, its often unlike anything they have ever felt before - that's kind of what I'm saying)
I hope this helps. all the best.
