Confused as hell, wondering if you guys can help out. First, some background.

I used to date a girl, who we'll call A. I dated A for a year and a half. I was always attracted to her friend, who we'll call B. I also used to get the impression that my attraction for B was mutual. I broke up with A in summer 09.

Fast forward to a month ago. B suddenly adds me on facebook. I hit her up right away, flirting, some light teasing and qualification etc. Get her number.
Over the next few weeks, texts go back and forth, I try to get the date. She repeatedly declines, saying she would, if it wasn't for the fact that it would potentially fuck up her friendship with A. But, since I know the attraction is there, I figure it's okay to pursue her anyway, since the reason she won't meet me is a third party issue, rather than her not being into me. I figure the persistence shows some good qualities.

The no's become maybes. Eventually it looks like its fully on. I get texts from her asking me to come to the club and meet her, but as luck would have it both times she does this I was out of town.

Fast forward to this weekend. I text her on Saturday, no response. Same thing Sunday. By Tuesday, still no reply, so I try a Call Back Technique, but done in text form. As always, it's infallible, she texts back within seconds. Apparently she's been "Busy" over the weekend, and "also feels bad on A" for talking to me. I figure I can't keep allowing this, and that I have to demonstrate total willingness to walk away. I hit her back with;

"Fair enough, I'll leave you alone. I'm not gonna force you to see me or talk to me if it aint what you want. Take care x x"

She replys instantly with

"Take Care x x"

Was walking away the right thing to do here? or should I have pushed harder? I'm fairly inexperienced with game, so I'm not sure what was the right way to go. It's seems that on the one hand you have experts saying that you shouldn't be afraid to pursue her hard, but others saying you need to show indifference and walk away.

I've entertained the possibility that her last text was a test of some sort, to see if I'm really willing to walk away. I just don't know.

Thoughts?

I think she has more morals then you are giving her credit for and should move on to another woman who isn't associated with your ex-gf. She is trying to do the right thing, and your spending a lot of time and energy to put her in a bad situation. Assuming you have options with other woman I don't think you should be doing this with her. Are you mad at your ex and trying to "get even." If not, move on

Hi, thanks for the reply.

No, it's genuinely not that at all. For me, enough time has passed that my ex has nothing to do with the situation. It's frustrating knowing the girl likes me, but the reason nothing will happen is because of an ex. Coming from a long AFC history of girls not liking me because they just didn't like me, this situation is a pain.

And yes, she is a really decent girl with morals etc, hence why I quite liked her and am having the the above confusion and frustration. Just wanted to make sure I did the right thing walking away on good terms rather than messing it up because I don't have the experience (yet) to spot "shit tests" and the like.

thanks again!
