Long story short, we met on a school field trip and slept next to each other and kissed on the bus home before we even talked. Yes, there was a little bit of small talk, but not much. This was about a month ago.

Back at school, the first few weeks she'd write me letters and text me during the day. We'd always hold hands and we'd kiss each other goodbye.

This past week, she was being kind of distant, when we texted at night she didn't seem enthusiastic at all and we kissed and held hands less and less.

Today, she told me that it wasn't working out between us, and that things went too quickly. She also said she's going through a lot right now (dog dying).

I haven't felt the connection this past week with her that I felt in the previous weeks. I still like the girl though. We have so much in common and at least had a connection.

Do you think I have another chance? Thing is, we were never officially dating or going out. Think I have another chance at getting with her again and this time going a little slower?

Any help is appreciated.

Well, it's not like we are currently talking. We did sit at the same lunch table, and after she told me this on Friday (right before lunch), she sat at the same table but a little further down and away from me.

In a week, if I decide I still miss her and contact her, do I just say I've missed you and see where it goes from there? Should I just text her then?

Here's the thing. We did see each other frequently. She basically said we are over and we aren't talking. For the next week, I'm sitting at a different lunch table (I didn't tell her this) and going I'm not going to contact nor talk to her. I'm going to decide if I miss her just physically or physically and personally. If I miss her personally and want to try to pursue her at the end of the week, I'll text her. I'll need to text her something that she'll respond to. Maybe cutting right to it and telling her would be better than starting off with something I remember about her. Hm, I'm not sure.

Thanks for the advice. Here's the odd thing though, when her dog was dying (it's still in the process of dying), she wasn't cheery around me but was fine around everyone else. Makes me think that was just an excuse (her dog is actually dying though).
