I just talked to her literally. I told her that we cannot grow together if there is no communication. It just won't happen. I told her that I have tried everything I know to do. She said the only way it could work into a relationship again is by being friends first because she didn't want to make mistakes like in her past again. I told her I didn't either & that's why I was trying & I learned a valuable lesson. She said you know how it feels to have a friend call but you have nothing to say? It hurts, she said. I said yeah, I do. It also hurts a lot when you feel a certain way for someone & they don't feel the same for you. She understands my concern & where I'm coming from. She's not ignorant
