Hey everyone,
just had a difficult moment, but also an important one
You see, I have a friend, I've known her for eight years. She's an absolutely beautiful, great girl. I really enjoy our friendship, a bit too much I might add
Thing is, she sees me as a friend. Today we had dinner and I- I knew it was pointless -tried flirting with her once again. She made it very clear, in between the lines, she wasn't interested. Even that she'd give my flirting some thought, but it just didn't work for her, not literally, but, she touched on the topic indirectly.
I was a little angry and acted like a total *beep*. I didn't say anything offensive, or was rude, but had a hard time hiding my feelings. It was I think pretty tangible. I left and she looked rather shocked and unhappy.
I've made up my mind though. I should just tell her- in person, not in between the lines -how much I like her and that I can't go on like this. I don't expect she'll like me, in fact, I know she doesn't.
I know it'll be the end of a great and supportive friendship, but I can't tell myself it'll just pass. It won't: I tried not speaking with her for a year and it didn't work. I love this girl
I also appreciate she at least gave it some thought and it sucks that she feels like she has to tell me repeatedly- again, in between the lines -she really doesn't like me, that sometimes friendship is just friendship.
I think I owe her that much: I should tell her how I feel and say goodbye, she was a great friend, but I can't spend the rest of my life hoping she'll return my feelings one day. I know it won't happen
On the one hand this has been a difficult year, especially because I planned on working a bit (turned out something went wrong with my bachelors degree) and because I've changed so much, especially in this regard: telling other people exactly what I think and feel.
In the end, it's all for the better though
Do you guys have any tips for me? Preferably some experience
