She said she loved me, then went cold
We were at this little wine bar in Montmartre, right. Everything felt light, she was touching my hand, laughing like she really saw me. Then out of nowhere she says 'Je t'aime' — not the casual 'je t'aime bien' but the real one. I nearly choked on my cigarette. Next morning she barely replied to my text. Now it’s been five days and she’s acting like that night didn’t happen. We’ve been seeing each other for six weeks not serious but something was building. I thought we had this understanding. My sister says French women do this when they get scared. But that's not the point. The point is I showed up softer than I have in years and now I’m just supposed to pretend it didn’t happen? She still answers when I message just distant like she’s already gone. I don’t even know what I did. Or if I didn’t do anything. Is this normal? Do people just say 'I love you' here and then disappear
