We dated a bit in her senior year of high school. She was deathly shy and I had fallen head over heels for her. We had a few dates and hung out a handful of times, and talked quite a bit. Then as her senior year picked up, she got more busy with captaining a team, working part time, and she's told me her parents push her to get straight A's, stressing her to tears. We went off and on and made time when we could for about 6 months. Because of the off and on schedule, we never got passed a hug, also because while I wanted and had so many opportunities to kiss her, I didn't feel right if she couldn't feel comfortable hugging me. She told me a few times that she had feelings for me, but is just really shy. Time went by, and I got fed up with how things were going. It got to the point that I was the only one making an effort to do anything, and I passive aggressively brought it up. She said she did have feelings for me, and she knows it looked like she was stringing me along, but "It's not fair to you, and I'm so so sorry, anon."

She's always been awkward about dating. I was the farthest she had ever done anything with dating-wise, and still am. It's been about a year since then, and I've only messaged her once since then, apologizing for how things ended, that I was a dick for bringing things up the way I did (I basically told her I was the only one who cared enough to pursue the relationship, so it'd be better for both of us if we stopped.)

>I'm gonna message her. She's been on my mind at least a few times a week for the past year. I might not mean anything to her anymore, but she still means the world to me. Like I said, I really fell for her.
>I'll post basically what I want to message her, but I would love tweaks/advice from the female perspective, but will take any advice/outlook on how this will turn out. I don't talk to her anymore anyways, so I have virtually nothing to lose.
