Having trouble fitting in and making friends

I’m a Mom and not another college kid, but this girl does not sound like somebody you can trust. It sounds to me like she was leading you on when she told you that she and her BF were just good friends. She liked the attention from you and she didn’t want it to end, so she avoided telling you about her BF.

As hard as it is, I think you should move on from trying to be friends with her. I went to a very small college years ago and I remember how hard it is when you keep running into somebody that you have an awkward relationship with. You’re a little lonely anyway, and she was the one person you thought you were connecting to, and that makes it a really tough situation for you.

Is there any way you can try something new, join a new club, get a part time job, help out with a school play or something, just to meet some new people who might have more in common with you? You seem to be on a path to depression and you need to do something to get off that path and form some deeper friendships.
