<p>I had been talking to this girl for a while who wasn't interested in being anything more than friends, until I stopped pursuing her, when she heard I hooked up with another girl, I guess it made something click to make her decide she liked me. We were supposed to have a talk saturday night (she wanted to have it, and according to her bestfriend she was going to tell me how she felt), but friday night she wound up in the hospital because she had gotten her cartilage pierced and it got really infected. She has since gotten surgery on it and won't be back at school until early next week. My question is how do I keep her interested while she's gone without trying to do too much?</p>
<p>If you have to actively “keep her interested” then it probably won’t work out.</p>
<p>Ideally, you two should be interested in the other based on how you naturally are and not go perform tricks and jump through hoops, unless she has the attention span of a squirrel.</p>
<p>But give her a chance before deciding this. She may already be into you but needed a push to pursue. If after you’ve had this talk, she still begins to seem disinterested you, then let it go.</p>
<p>You don’t have to do anything at all. It sounds like she is fine. Don’t even go near the subject of her injury. She is looking for you to distract her from that.
By the way I am a bit worried because you seem to be trying to work very hard to “keep her interest” or whatever. She hasn’t even done anything yet. Don’t start chasing her based on a rumor. Don’t let all of this drama affect you. Sit back and let her impress you.</p>
<p>When you guys have this nice little talk don’t go spilling out your love for her…don’t give her direct answers if she starts raining questions down on you…don’t tell her too much about yourself…don’t spend too much time talking to her…try to be the one that ends most of your interactions…I would actually tell her that I think we are going to make good friends, but hey, what do I know.</p>
