My best friend is a girl I have known since I moved to this town. She's very sweet, very pretty, and very talented. Recently, our school's art department and the students involved (this includes the both of us, she for painting and me for music) traveled to an arts festival. At one point, i needed her help carrying an electric keyboard/piano across the festival campus to our home station and go all the way back across to the bus before leaving for the night. As we were walking back together, I told her I really appreciated all her help and I promised I would make up the manual labor to her however way she could think of. We joked about it for a bit, then she said, "you know, if you weren't my best friend, you'd be like, the greatest boyfriend."
I've secretly liked her since a bit before she said that, and since then I haven't been able to think clearly without that statement coming into mind.
What exactly does she mean by that?
She later told me "I'm not physically attracted to you."
Frustrating. Very frustrating. Somebody please help! I need to know what she's thinking!
Take it from me, as I have many close guy friends that I love more than anything…Its very easy for her to be your friend since she is not attracted to you. It wont get in the way and unfortunately a relationship with this girl is not going to happen. She was comfortable saying that to you because she 1)w may have picked up on your feelings and wanted you to know in a subtle/joking way that she is not feeling you, 2) later made it clear to you that she is not attracted you. Sorry dude, but this will end up being a case of unrequited love.
It sucks, but stay friends with her and enjoy her company. You will find another chick to be enamored with in no time. Besides, friendship is a great foundation for a relationship, unfortunately just not this one.
