But my question for female readers is might “pursue this” mean. We’d only gone out a few times, quite pleasant, and I’d also invitedher to dinner party with some friends. But I didn’t feel I knew her that well, nor she me. I had to look carefully to pick her out in crowd. I kinda didn’t think I was pursing anything, just getting to know someone.
Methinks he doth protest too much
Shakespeare (misquoted)
I know you like those quotes!
"Pursue"? It just goes to show that two people can see the same situation and approach it from different viewpoints.
You are correct in your interpretation that she doesn't want to see you anymore. Beyond that, speculation is pointless, and a waste of your time, in my opinion. Unless you want to torture yourself with endless analysis?
