Your situation (the timing and recency and suddenness of it all) sound really similar to what I went through 2 months ago. I'll have more to say at a later time (it's late here), but for now I'll just say I hope for the best for you.

An update to the situation: I reached out two days ago, and she was surprisingly conversational. She mentioned she's moving away in July to the city I moved here from (a place we have mutual love for and at one point planned to visit together). I asked if she'd be comfortable meeting to catch...

Thanks a lot for this. This all makes a lot of sense to me, especially the bit about how "good stressors" can cause someone who is dealing with a PTSD flare-up to overflow. I did end up reaching out last week (3 weeks since our last contact) about how I'd like to continue supporting in...

I'm sorry you're going through this. Between my experience and the others here, this sounds like par for the course with severe trauma. It's so unfair and cruel. As someone who was on the receiving end of a break-up due to the other's trauma, I strongly heed your warning. I'm very sensitive...

An update: I haven't reached out, nor has she. It has been 1 week since our last text (cue that barenaked ladies song... have to have a sense of humor I guess? lol). Still thinking about her/everything on the daily though. I'm struggling to not scratch the itch to reach out (via text) to the...

Thank you for the responses, everyone. I guess I want to tell her she's important to me and I want to be a safe friend for her in a way that doesn't put any onus on her to respond (pressure that a text, for example, might apply). I know she's very lonely, not being from around this area. Her...

Background: I (32M) went on a few dates with this girl (29F) last summer. We hit it off, kissed every time, and everything seemed to be going really well. She ended things abruptly, saying she was not at a point in her life ready to date. We very loosely kept in touch, and ran into each other...
