If you have followed my previous thread where i was struggling whether to reconcile or divorce - so this is final and i have divorced and back to single life again (back to the market) hahaha..

So i've known this girl from my previous company (my ex colleague). She is still single and we have been connecting quite well (already know her before my divorce).  I would not say we had a fling during that time and I always a BIG BORTHER amongst the group, and to her also.

She was one of the first to person to know that i will go for a divorce, and we did hang out occasionally like in cafes - no any romantic dates so far.  BUT, there's once i offered to pick her up from airport from her trip and she agreed, we then had lunch and I sent her home.

Throughout this period and i always felt we had chances to build a deeper connection until one day, she sent me a "STOP TEXT" that says she only ever saw me as a big brother, and asked me to reciprocate from my divorce. 

I accepted the "rejection" and stopped contacting her for a month.  Recently, I tried asking her for a dinner she agreed for meet up.  During the meet up, the vibe was super casual and normal - we chat, laughed and enjoyed the moment, as if the stop-text was never a thing.  After the meet up, things gone slow again. 

In short, I know i have been "bro-zoned", and i may have been over-thinking all these while.  And i know my divorcee status may have pulled her back as well cos she did mentioned that my divorce was still fresh, when i was jokingly saying I'm back to single now.

What puzzles me:

- If a girl does not like you, or only treat you as a bro - will she ever let someone to pick her up from airport, and let you send her home?
- If the stop-text was final, she still agreed to meet up, and treat the text was not ever sent (i prepared that it will be an awkward meet-up)

In anyway, I'm trying to moved on from her and meeting someone new.  Deep down, the mixed signals are still lingering.

Just a deduction - you may have unintentionally made her feel like she played a part in your divorce.

Even if that’s far from the truth, she might quietly wonder: If she had never known you, would things have turned out differently with your ex?

For a woman who values clear moral boundaries or is cautious about emotional entanglements, that kind of unspoken doubt can weigh heavily — not because she feels guilty, but because she doesn’t want to be seen as the reason a marriage ended, even indirectly.
