girl look at that batting- girl look at that batting- girl look at that batting- a-a-and she strikes out! (repeat) when i walk on the field, this is what i see- pitcher and catcher are starin' at me- i got a bat in my hand and i aint afraid to go at it- go at it- go at it- (its a) home run and i know it.
same exact situation once, in fact still happening with the same guy. the best thing to do is to tell him everything, dont let one thing slip away from what your heart wants, because if he is your best friend and you want him to know that you love him as that and more, you have to mean it, you have to let him know you trust him, you care about him, you love/like him, let him know that whatever happens, you will still be there. the best thing you can do is tell him :) (sorry i kinda just mini love-ranted there :D)
same EXACT thing happened to me... i eventually just had to break up with him, he wouldnt get the hint. but i just told him that i just didnt want to date anyone, and that made it a little easier for him and he took it better... but that was only the truth for a little while cause i have a major crush but eh well you know, i probably just felt that way at the time cause i just didnt like him. i felt bad but he took it fine. and also sorry for blabbing on and on haha imma stop now :3
go visit, email, text, send a letter if you can. if you loved her that much, i suggest you basically stalk her down because it seems likes she worth it.
