How to stay friends with a girl that "rejected" you.

  • Thread Starter

I made a thread last week. To summarise, I had a purely platonic relationship with a girl: we are best friends. I never had any romantic feelings for her for many months but developed it along the way.

I told her how I felt about her. She was shocked and told me she has never felt that way about me: she said sees me like her elder brother (even though I'm slightly younger, hahaha). I asked if it's a rejection. She said it's not a rejection and that I'm leaving to another uni anyway (and she feels LDRs don't work). I told her she was sugar-coating the rejection so that I don't feel bad. But she said she wasn't.

Anyway, I have moved on from my romantic feelings for her. However, I feel guilty for expressing my feelings and I feel the balance of friendship might shift. And we would lose our closeness.

She's a very good friend and I don't want to lose her. How do I rebuild the friendship/ make it stronger.

PS: Please, don't advise me to cut contact. I won't. I know myself and I know I won't feel the pain even if she gets with another guy.

I'll meet up with her soon. How do I make her feel comfortable around me?
