This girl that I was talking to lost interest, do I still have a chance???

[Floofi_Birb]

So, recently this girl that I was interested in became distant. We used to text and talk a good bit about a week ago. The past few days she stopped texting. She seemed really interested in me as she said that I looked really handsome and said I was "above average". She also gave me a little handmade gift and she replaced my broken headphones by giving me one of her owns. She used to always say good morning and seemed overall eager to text me. We also flirted a good bit, even her talking about her boobs and shit, I figured girls don't just typically talk to anyone about that so, good sign. Anytime I would ask if she was free to speak she would reply saying that she always has time for me. She would always comment on my good traits saying that I was considerate, supportive, kind, etc. But after a good week of that stuff started to go down hill. She started to get depressed about real life issues and suddenly stopped texting me as much. A few days after this all was going down I broke and let my emotions get the better of me and I expressed how I felt about her. She gave me a kind of iffy response saying that my feelings for her are clearly strong for her and that she just has problems expressing her emotions. I took that with a grain of salt seeing as she started acting depressed. She kept putting herself down so I wrote a huge message cheering her up. I described how I myself used to struggle with depression and had the mindset of "I'm not good enough." I'm of course better now and no longer struggle from depression but I still have a bit of anxiety but I've gotten good at handling it. She said she loved that I typed all that for her and that if I ever needed anything I could contact her. After that contact got iffier and iffier. Keep in mind I never pushed, I can't even recall contacting first, I only contacted when she contacted me but now that I think about it I made myself TOO available. The day everything came crashing down is when she went to homecoming. I didn't offer to go with her as she already had everything planned before I was even in the picture. The guy she went to she wasn't too fond of she told me, but once they got there the guy she went with didn't want to dance with her and ended leaving her to go with another girl which left her upset. Then the biggest news hits me... her ex came and danced with her. He told me that he saw that she was upset. Their relationship ended in July and according to her he just left with just the excuse of "I have depression" and that was it. She even said it herself that she thinks it was just an excuse. Now, I didn't go to homecoming, this is all the information she told me. She texted me this all after homecoming. This is when I found out that she's still crazy for her ex. She told me everything good about him and each comment made my heart sink more and more but I didn't express any signs of distress. She made it clear that she was still attached to him, even going as far as to say that if he were to tell her to kill herself she would. I knew her emotions were the ones doing the talking as every comment she made put herself down and made him seem like a god. I continued to comfort her, I even tried helping by telling her to ask her ex back and express her feelings for him. She told me she couldn't do it and that he'd hate her. I told her that if he was really the guy you make him out to be why would he hate you but nothing I said changed her mind. I gave her options of what she could do; Wait for him; Tell him her feelings or; Move on. She then said she'll just try to act like he doesn't exist. I then gave her a huge text saying I know how she feels to be left with no closure. She then replied saying "Thank you for understanding" and some other caveat to it at the end. After that I simply said, "Not a problem" and left it at that. Some hours would pass in a day and she would text me out of the blue with a stale, "Hey." She did initiate contact first so I took it as a good sign. I kept the conversation short, simply asking her how she was and the conversation would end in a few text. Now, I've backed away for the past 4 days. Our communication went down drastically though she still kind of keeps in touch over social media such as instagram. When I would post a picture of myself on social media she would like and comment on it (I'm probably thinking about it too much though as I'm friends with her sister and she has a boyfriend and still likes some of my photos). She clearly doesn't know that I'm not trying to be just a friend, I'm not interested in that kind of relationship, I want to be more than a friend. She already knows how I feel about her which I DEEPLY regret as I threw my mysterious emotions card right out the window. On top of that, now I know there's in ex in the picture and I don't know what my chances are now, it annoys me that such a wonderful girl is stuck up on a guy that left her for literally no reason. You'd think being with her would calm his depression but I guess not.
I know it's a possibility that I could end up a rebound, I'm aware. Our last exchange was me cracking a joke and her laughing at it if that's relevant at all. I don't see her in public unless I were to actively search for her which I do not. I've been going about my life, texting other girls and hanging out with friends but I'm not going to kid myself, my end goal is to be with her. So far I haven't found another girl that sparks my interest like she did and it's annoying. I'm so picky with the girls I want which makes it even harder for me. I just want to know if I should even bother, I'm not going to waste time if there's no chance to begin with. She used to seem so interested in me and I fucked it up by caring too much. I want to know if It's possible to even get her interest back.

Thinking logically, If there's an ex boyfriend still in the picture I might as well pack my bags but I don't like that option.

(Sorry if there is some grammar errors, really can't be asked to re-read what I typed. lol)

Since she was initially interested in you, you can still get her interest back. The only way to achieve this is to give her space and stop communicating with her for at least 30 days. When you start contacting her again, start by a simple text message.

Also, learn from you mistake and don't allow such mistake repeat itself again.

When a woman loses interest in a man, chances are she becomes indifferent and cold. The spark no longer ignites and she finds better things to do. When this happens, he needs to do things to make her attracted to him once again.

Don't look desperate even when you already are

No woman is ever attracted to a man who cannot stand up and put himself together. If he wants to get her attention back, then let it be because of something positive, something that would impress her, not something that would affirm her feelings (or lack thereof). Don't be clingy or needy or she would just walk away.

Pay attention to yourself.

Instead of moping around and being depressed, he must DO something so she would become interested again. Exercise not only relieves stress, it also makes a person look good and feel good. He must start looking smart again, paying attention to being clean and smelling good.

Improve oneself by learning new things.

He can learn a new skill, be productive, get into a useful hobby, or venture into a small business. This shows the woman that the man is moving forward with his life, and she would be happy go along for the ride and support him. This new things would also break the monotony that might have crept into the relationship.

Pay more attention to her this time.

Most women are demonstrative of their emotions, and they like to talk. If a man plays a dead ear every time she tries to tell him something, chances are she will try to find an emotional outlet somewhere else. A man needs to pay attention to what his girl is saying - or what she is trying to say but cannot.

Be more thoughtful this time around.

This doesn't necessarily mean taking her out on expensive dinners or fancy parties or romantic cruises. It is, after all, the little things that count. Avoid doing things that annoy her, or little habits that get into her nerves.

Be the person she loved.

If a man can remember the qualities that he had that attracted her in the first place - and be able to bring out those qualities again - then he has a greater chance of catching her interest once more.

Be patient even when it's extremely difficult.

Igniting a woman's fire after it has been dampened is not as easy as lighting a match. It takes a lot of patience and work on his part to spark her interest.

Many men become complacent after they get their girl to say "yes." But, really, it takes more than her "yes" to make a relationship work out.
