Need advice about saving friendship with a girl I met?

Ok so I met this girl in person on Sunday and our first meeting went pretty good,then she said that she starts working 10.5 hour shifts this week and that she might not be able to be on the computer.Well I made a mistake into thinking that I wasn't what she was looking for in a guy and I thought she was ignoring me just to get rid of me.So I write her emails sometimes 2 a day wondering what's been going on and worried that we'd never get together anymore and stuff like that.Anyways I got an email from her tonight saying that she's been busy with work and that she was going through some situations dealing with her kids and then she thinks that I want something more from her but I don't,just friends for now.She told me ';I was wrong about you'; and now I feel like crap after writing her emails and pushing her too fast.All I want is to keep her as a friend and work things out with her but I feel like with me constantly bugging her with emails that I might have ruined our friendship.PLZ HELPNeed advice about saving friendship with a girl I met?
Hi Jesse,





Here's what to do:





Wait until next Friday evening, and send a very simple email saying the following:





';Hi...................,





How is your new job going? I know it takes up most of your time, but I hope you are getting more comfortable in your new post.





This last week was pretty hectic for me too. I had to.......................


(tell her A LITTLE about what you did).





Anyway, when you get a chance, drop a line,





Bye for now,





Jesse';





This is about all you can do to remedy the situation. If she doesn't respond, or takes a really long time to respond, move on! If she does respond, then do the following:





First ask yourself this: ';Why am I pressuring her to the point where it makes her stay away?';





Take it slowly, you just met the girl. It makes you seem desperate and in a hurry. Allow a little mystery, it's very healthy for both of you. Enjoy the process, it's part of being in a relationship. Otherwise it'll look like you're hard up. Nobody is going to be attracted to that. Remember: Eagerness is not a quality! Emails, especially two a day, are too much. Phone calls are better, but keep them far apart. If you ask her out, make it for the following week so you seem busy, never for the same day or the next. When the date ends, walk her to her door but DON'T ask to be invited in. No more than a good night kiss. Do not put the moves on her for at least a couple of months. Give her a chance to desire intimacy.





Besides, why are you so sure she's the right one for you? Having just met her, you might go out with her a couple of times and find out that she has personality characteristics that you won't find attractive - perhaps even a turn off. Have you thought about that? She could have intimacy issues, or she could be self-absorbed. Back off a little and find out for yourself. Put her on the witness stand, and check out her response. Don't be afraid, you could always move on! There are plenty of other rabbits in the forest.





I hope this has been helpful and insightful,





Sincerely,

YIKES dude! Honestely if I were that girl I'd be pretty freaked out! You sound like a stalker, I'm not saying that you are, but that's sure is a good way to destroy a chance of freindship or even more. If I were her, I'd stear clear of you and change my email adress. Leave her alone and just take this as a lesson learned the hard way!
