I (22) am good friends with L(22). I recently moved in with them in late November. We've known each other for almost eight years, meeting in high-school when L moved to my school. We briefly dated, spilt and they moved not long after. We still remained friends, just not as close; due to our busy lives, until recently of course.
Before I moved, we reconnected and started talking again. At first it was just friendly, but soon became more. I opened up about how I had so much love to give someone, wanted to have a serious relationship, my inner feelings etc. I was being a hopeless romantic. They reciprocated those feelings, agreeing and saying they wanted the same thing. L said they hated that we broke up before, they had always missed me and thought about me. At one point L asked if I'd like to give us a shot when I moved. I said I'd like to take things slow and see how they go, but I wasn't against it. Seeing L's name on my phone made me so happy and I thought maybe I might actually have someone to give all these romantic feelings to.
Not long after my move, things changed. L stopped being affectionate all together. They still are friendly, but romantically there's nothing. I can get over that. What hurts is L is romantic with their friend M(18). At first I chalked it up to L just being a little to friendly. I even asked if something was going on between them, L said no. L explained they didn't feel ready for a relationship with anyone, wanted to work on themselves, was afraid to hurt people's feelings ect. Again I could live that, people can change their minds. But L is constantly affectionate with M, every time they're over. Holding hands, cuddling, switching places with people to just sit close to them.
It hurts a lot, I won't lie. I (stupidly) fell hard for L and gave to much of myself. Every time I see them I'm boiling internally, not at M, but at L. They knew how I felt about them and led me to believe they felt the same. Part of me wants to confront L, but another part doesn't. So, AIO by feeling led on or am I just sensitive?
