Sounds endearing. You never commended him for his persistence? ; )

As many have eluded, she gave you hints she wasn't interested and yet you continued to pursue. For future reference, if a woman gives you her email and you email her and she doesn't respond, she's not interested. Try not to take it personally (I know it's hard--b/c I've been there before). If I were you, I would try and establish a friendship first--especially if you are both going to the same school, and then slowly increase the intimacy of the relationship, and see how she responds. Don't overwhelm her with undeserved attention either. I skimmed some parts of your thread, and it seemed as though you were showering her with attention unnecessarily, especially since she didn't earn it. Lastly--and I'm going out a bit on a limb here, as I'm just kind of going with my gut instinct--but you seem pretty sensitive. I'm not saying this negatively--as I'm sensitive myself and I think that sensitivity can take you a long way in nursing, so long as it is appropriately applied. What I would recommend is that you go out and just meet a lot of women, especially on campus. Just walk up and say, "Hi, my name is so and so, I just wanted to introduce myself." Don't seek companionship/gf/any of that ****. Just put yourself out there, try to have a normal conversation where you get to know the girl, THEN (maybe after 5-10 mins of talking), judging by the vibes she's putting off (i.e., does it appear she likes you, or is she just being nice?), say something like, "hey I've enjoyed our conversation but I need to get running--would you like to continue our conversation over a cup of coffeee/beer sometime?" Then. . .you usually get a number, and then don't stalk. Give them one text a few days later or whatever, ask them when they are available to meet for a drink, and if they DON'T reply. . .who cares? You are still in the same spot you were before. DOn't send them another text. Just keep meeting women and it will click eventually my friend. Best of luck : )

Anyone know of any opportunities abroad to become a nurse thru apprenticeship rather than thru traditional education? (I'm fed up with looking for accelerated programs, having to meet bogus requirements, etc. I'd rather just do on-the-job training for 3/4 the pay in some other country. Anyone know of anything like this?)
