    Oh - and just to add - I was all for talking on the phone or in person but her social anxiety meant that more communication than I would normally have liked was usually done by text!

    Poor girl sounds like she has quite some issues.

    Realise you care for her, but she sounds very draining.

    I think you are right to leave it. Something tells me it won't be the last you will hear from her to be honest!

    Sounds like you made the right choice. A relationship with someone like that would be draining and stop being fun pretty quickly. Sounds like she needs some professional help maybe, but I do believe from what you said it's better you didn't continue. Be prepared she might contact you out the blue again looking for validation. It's your call but maybe be careful you don't get pulled into something through feeling sorry for her.

    If someone fed me that crock of ****, I would tell her to sling it and consider it a VERY lucky escape!

    That's one relationship that is never gonna work.

    What happens next time this person decides to put her over-imaginative 'assumption machine' into full gear?

    Run kid, run!

    Feel sorry for the girl, but think of it as a lucky escape.

    Spice Girls had it:

    "Tell me what you want, what you really, really want..."

    Or leave me out of it.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
