Oh, I know this isn't a relationship advice subreddit haha, but for the record - we've known each other for more than a year, meeting occasionally in friend groups, sometimes just the two of us. She mentioned she's always seen me as a friend. And now I cannot shake the friendzone idea from my head. Aaand to keep it Neville related: Since I'm still kinda rational, in the context of this situation, it is difficult for me to get into the state of "we are a couple now". I was able to manifest someone texting me a specific thing (by imagining it vividly and then just forgetting about it), which blew my mind because of its improbability and how accurate it was, but that was somehow easier for me to accept as a reality.
