I am an introvert. I generally feel very uncomfortable around people or being left out in a crowd. But then finally I have a friend circle. A small one but itβs every thing I ever wanted. So itβs 2boys (including me) and 2girls.
We 4 have great memories together, late night talks, video calls, ludo and meet ups and everything.
Now my deep secret is I secretly like one of my best friend. I really really like her. She and I actually went through the same stuff, same kind of break up and an annoying ex of course. Bitching about the people we hate and sharing family stuff. We have the same taste in music and the best thing is she is such a good speaker and I am a really good listener which makes us like a perfect match. And yet I was too scared to tell her.
When one day we (just the 2 of us) were having this deep conversation when suddenly out of nowhere I somehow told her I liked her. I was completely shocked when she liked me back. Everything was going perfectly untill nowβ¦ Itβs been 1 week since then, and itβs awkward af. I mean she is out of topics now and that awkward silence is sooooo disturbing.
I am mentally so frustrated right now. I just donβt want us to be awkward or anything and I donβt want her to stop liking me because I like her so much. And we are not dating sooβ¦
Sometimes I try cracking jokes but that doesnβt seem to work and itβs totally awkward.
I wish I could do something about it :(
you might try doing two different things:
first, as you said, you seem really close so maybe you can try talking things out, make her listen to you once and tell her whatever is going on in your mind, then ask her what sheβs thinking, what if sheβs also feeling the same way and then you can find a solution to this together
second, you can try taking a break from talking for a while and work your feelings out, with time you might have a clearer picture
best of luck! β€οΈ
I appreciate your point of view. Thank you, I will surely speak to her about it.
Communication is key. Talk to her and sort things out. Ask her what you can do to either escalate things to a relationship or maintain the best friendship. Nothing is really awkward unless u make it awkward. And things should not be awkward as yβall know eachother for so long. Be mature and sort it out between yβall. Obviously its easier said than done but I hope u get what u want. Good luck
Yes I think you are right. Iβll talk to her and weβll figure this out. Thank you
Hey Man, I understand what you are going through, i have been there. just wanted to tell you two things. First, If you really like her that much and she too likes you back, then do not hesitate to ask her what is wrong. Ask her and talk things out. Secondly, You should that the thing might reverse and thatβs okay, sometimes it is best to let the person go you like. If she tells you that it was not a good decision, tell her you might agree to that and sort things out. Try to hold people back in your life without their will is the worst decision to make my friend
