I have a pretty close friendship with this one girl, who’s also bi, and we’ve discussed the fact that we both have feelings for each other but she said she’s not ready for a relationship, and I also get the sense that she’s more interested in men right now. Sometimes she blows up my phone with texts which I like, and I have done that too, but I’ve noticed that a couple times when I’m the one who does that she pulls away and one time she got upset, she said she likes people who are clingy but only if she’s in a committed relationship which were obviously not. So I’m trying to keep some distance. Usually she texts or calls back to say she misses me after a few hours though. I enjoy our friendship and I talk to her more than anyone else right now, last weekend for example we stayed on the phone till 4 am, but I’m just worried my feelings are too strong and it’s kind of painful for me knowing that a relationship is probably not going to happen. Should I tell her I need space to deal with my own feelings? Would it be selfish to end the friendship just because of unrequited love? I don’t want to sound like one of those dudes who complain about the friendzone, I want to be a good friend, but I want to respect her boundaries and I’m worried that my feelings are too strong for me to be her friend right now without being too clingy if that makes sense.
