Empty Shell
There's a nice, young, pretty girl who has flat out told me she's interested. So why do I feel nothing?
I made her cry when she told me. I didn't mean to. She apologized to me the next day, as if it were her fault. Said she didn't want it to change our friendship. Yet she's still trying. I'm attempting to handle it politely, but it seems every kindness is misinterpreted as interest. I've been on the other side of this situation many times, but this side is new. Well, something similar happened with another friend a couple of years ago, but she understood and things didn't change. But if this one is anything like me, she'll never give up. I don't know how to make things right and keep relationships with her and all the other friends I've made recently in tact.
...or is it that I'm uncertain and want to keep the possibility open? I don't know for sure, but it definitely feels like I'm stringing her along. I don't like it. Yet there's no way to cut it off without losing other friends.
What have I become?
