I'll TRY and keep this brief...
I've known her for about 10 years now, however, we only became really close over the last 2 years, as she used to live overseas. We were so close that often people would ask if we were dating and when we were alone together, it felt like we were.
We always had a very flirtatious, love/hate relationship going on, so much so that I may have sent the wrong signals, but I always knew she liked me and I liked her, but I was never ready to commit. Up until recently, everything she said and did signaled to me she still really liked me. So I decided that the games had to stop and told her how I really felt.
To my surprise she got really upset and broke down, and told me that she felt the same way a year ago but never thought I felt the same and assumed we would only be friends. In the heat of the moment, she said we couldn’t even be friends any more as things will never be the same.
The next morning I received a text saying how long it took her to accept that “I wasn’t interested in her” etc, etc. It went on to say that although things would be difficult, we shouldn’t stop trying to make our friendship work. As things stand, it’s been 3 weeks since our talk and we are not as close (physically/emotionally) as we used to be, but she still calls/text every day and we talk like nothing happened.
At this point, i’m very confused but still a little hung up on her, and I keep thinking that I should forget it happened and move on...Is this the right thing to do or am I missing something?
