So I met this new girl just a couple weeks ago (we've already gone on 4 dates). Shes 4 years older than me, which we are both more than fine with, we hit it off great and have very strong chemistry, we have a lot in common, not just in hobbies and interests but views in life, beliefs etc....there is definitely something there.
Shes going through a rough time right now (injury), and has been pretty stressed out because of it.
We've talked a few times over the past week and from talking to her this morning, I knew it was best for me to give her, her time and space, for her to get her injury taken care of to relieve her of pain and agony. Im always one to always be there for someone to lean on, or listen to but she didnt want to talk about it and I completely understood.
Because, this is a bit of an awkward start to getting to know a new person (I cant say that Ive had this kind of beginning before when just getting to know someone), how much time do you think I should give her before contacting her again? When I let her go, I didnt say that I would contact her or that she to contact me, but that shes going to take care of her self first and foremost to free her from pain and that we will chat again.
Now I am no Dr. but I am very knowledge when it comes to healing the body from injury and how the body functions. Physio, cardio, naturaleopath, acupuncture, massage therapy, Ive done them all extensively throughout my life and very familiar with how they relate and the ins and outs. But obviously, her injury is very serious that she needs surgery so its not an overnight fix, nor is it something I can relate to from a Drs standpoint.
Its just that I dont like seeing people like this and I want to do more than I currently am (which is nothing). It absolutely kills me inside seeing people really depressed and even worse knowing I cant really do much. She needs her time and space and I fully respect that. I feel really bad for what shes going through right now, and feel helpless. I really do.
