I have had my fair share. She was a nice woman, educated, pretty, rich family. Never short of men surrounding her.
I dated her on an off and never sure even if I mean anything to her. Again she may enjoy the feeling of being always wanted by men.
Eventually she suggested I should not waste time on her and should look for other women.
We still keep in touch via email after that. In fact without the dating pressure it is quite enjoyable.
18 months later she tried to get close to me. Increasing email, calling each other on phone (long distance call, 9000km apart). Then one day she cannot hold back and ask me directly if I am still interested in marrying her.
I told her I still love her a lot, but I have already found someone else so regrettably I have to turn down her proposal.
wrong timing. If she told me same message 12 months earlier I would move heaven and earth for her. 有緣無份
