There's this girl I met a few months ago and since then we've gotten close, we've met a few times. She's non-mono, I'm mono and Demi. I developed an interest in her, and so did she. We had a conversation in which we discussed our expectations of each other and she said she had neither romantic nor sexual interest at the moment. I have both to a certain degree. I agreed not to create expectations in these two aspects the next time we go out, for her at the moment it's purely platonic and knowing that there is this kind of expectation makes her shut down under the pressure. I'd like some advice on how to manage this, because in my mind it's still a friendship and I'd like to evolve it a little. I really like her. She was one of the nicest people I've met this year. The way I've found to try and calm things down is to consider that it's just a friendship. I spoke to a friend and she suggested that maybe meeting someone else who is willing to have something more romantic/sexual would be a good idea, so that I don't get stuck waiting for this girl to start feeling something more than platonic love for me. It's all very new to me and I don't want to end up hurting her.

Another thing I'd like to know, if anyone has experienced something similar, was it possible to develop romantic/sexual interest?
