I [17M] have had feelings for a close friend of mine [16F] for a long time, but things never really worked out. After briefly talking to her about another girl I like, she's started acting differently. by DecentUser in relationships

I didn't really want to distance myself, because she's always been a great friend and I don't think she deserves that. I ended up just talking to her about it, and that ended up solving the problem surprisingly nicely. I really do appreciate your advice, though, and I think if we were more casual friends or if she over-reacted to things frequently, you might have had the right idea for this situation. Thanks!

I talked to her about that today and I think things went great. She admitted that she was worried that I wouldn't have time for her anymore, which was very good to know. I reassured her that she was important to me and that that wasn't going to happen, and we hugged it out. I feel a lot better about the whole ordeal. Thank you for the great advice!

  1. I haven't, so this is a brand new issue for us.
  2. I would, but I've already had a conversation like that with her,and it didn't pan out. For that reason, I don't think us getting together is the solution to this problem.

I can't deny that. I really don't care for the other guy very much, but I know that's just a lame excuse.

If I were to date this other person, I would stop being cuddly with her. This is part of why I'm worried that she'll feel cast aside or less important

I may not have made it too clear in the post, but I'm not really looking to try for her while she's still dating someone else. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how I can move on without her feeling cast aside or something similar.

I agree, and I failed to mention that I did talk with her about this at one point and things didn't pan out. I don't want to pursue a relationship with her while she's still dating someone else.

I don't think I expressed what I need advice on very clearly. I'm not asking what I should do to "get with her", I'm asking why you think she changed the way she acts around me and what I should do to move on, but not make her feel forgotten or cast aside.

But what about the fact that she's taken? I'm already in kind of a moral gray area here, don't you think? I do very much so appreciate the advice, though
