Nothing, just a failed phone conversation. I was going to ask some questions, I failed to start talking and babbled then went "ne oluyor lan" -to myself (which I probably can translate as "what the hell is going on" on the phone, then the person I called turned out to be busy and the conversation got delayed for a couple of hours. 
I thought you got over her

Again, thanks to you all for your wishes. Unfortunately, the bestower of good fortune was not very generous to me today. There are days when everything goes right and there are days when everything goes wrong, and today was in the latter category.
You haven't been around much lately. Is everything alright?

I certainly did not get over her, but I'm neutralizing the way it effects my life. She literally was the person that I felt most close with ever and I didn't give single flying fuck about dating her, I just wanted to be good/close friends with her and let if flow from there.
I said that I didn't want to get involved in the same ol' crap, but here it goes again.
Our relationship seemed to get stronger and stronger. I would text her and we would text each other for about six hours or so. I would say hello to her when I saw her, I'd say see you to her when we were leaving the school and I'd always get a response.
But then one day, out of nowhere, the way I see all of this changed. I realised that I was the one to go to her every time. I was the one to text her first, I was the one to say hello to her on the morning, I was the one to say see you to her in afternoon. I was the starter of every conversation (well almost) we had. I couldn't be sure that she really did care about me and I decided to come up with a test in the following week. I acted all cold to her, didn't do same stuff as before. Wondered if she would realise that something was wrong and talk to me about it which would give the impression that she did care about me. She didn't do anything whole week. Nothing at all.
Then on Friday of that week (which is last week) I said that I've tried my best and that I wasn't an underdog, a loser, or anything like that. (the way I put it was much more powerful than this one, though) I'm confident in myself. I left the door open since I really thought we were close in personalities but didn't hesitate to end things right there, even though it was probably the biggest disappointment of my life. Being rejected by her wasn't a disappointment, not dating her isn't a disappointment, but this one is.
Today, she invited me to the place where she and some of her friends ate lunch, first time it has ever happened. After the lunch when we were going back to school we had a casual chat, like nothing happened. When we were leaving the school she was just one step away from me on her way to her schoolbus. We walked together but we actually weren't together, we were just close. I didn't speak to her, I didn't say see you to her this time. And I don't know if I should regret it or not.
I'm just confused as hell and I want to hear her honest opinion about this situation.
I won't be happy if we don't end up as close friends nor will I be unhappy in any situation. I won't force anything this time, I'm much more conscious of the things that are surrounding me.
Talking seemed to be the solution of every problem I've had, so I'll do it one more time.

Douglas Adams really is a genius, by the way.

That's actually a pretty good tactic Flash. I did that twice, with two different girls. With the first one, I asked her out three times and all three times she had an excuse not to go (it wasn't supposed to be just the two of us though, some other friends were supposed to go too). So after the third time I just stopped calling altogether, and even though we still talked in school regularly, we never went out again. With the second one, I did the same thing for the same reason, BUT: after weeks she probably realized what was going on, so she started calling/starting conversations
So, yeah, it's a good test IMO.Btw. sorry to hear that Perun.
I'm sorry it didn't go well man. I really am. As for me? I'm okay. Some personal stuff, some good, some bad. Mostly a friend died recently, and I've been helping to deal with the fallout from that.
As an aside, I got to see the Duke's 5 week old baby the other day. Looks like a little Winston Churchill. Massive jowls, very bald.
You have my heartfelt sympathies. It's always terrible to lose someone. I hope the good stuff helps you over that.
My problem hardly compares, I'm just trying to come up with ways to deal with it. One of my most notorious problems is that I'm always going for a perfect fit, devise great tactics and have it all worked out without considering that something can occur that is beyond my control. And that's what happened today. And I think I'm taking it a bit too much to heart as well.
Aww, that's adorable!
Yeah, that sounds like you.
And yeah, he was a good kid.

Why not try an "expect-the-worst" approach? Without much planning and tactics? Just go with the flow and remember that things sometimes do screw up and there's nothing you can do about it.
I guess it's not really what happened (or didn't happen) that bothers me so much as the way I put my mind into it. I hate situations when something goes wrong for reasons beyond my control, and it's just something that tends to disappoint me. It's a bad attitude and I'm trying to change it, but I can't help it right now. I guess things will look a lot different tomorrow anyway.
