chickpea2011 agony auntHi,

Sorry that you'll feel sad, but I have to agree with your friend.

You said you've know each other since little kids and grow up together? No wonder she's confused. Through out her whole life, she saw you as a close brother, not a man. You have to understand her feelings and respect that.

Like I said, sorry you feel sad and maybe rejected, but its not her fault. She's not hurting you and its not about you personally as a person that she's kind of taking a step back. I am sure the news took her by surprise and caught her unexpectedly.

Don't be sad anymore, go back to the times when you guys enjoy spending time together. Who knows, maybe some feelings will develop in her side. I am sure she's thinking about it. But, the last thing you want to do right now is to pressure her or make her feel uncomfortable around you.

Don't be sad or think too much. Just give both of you sometime to let things go back to where it was and you'll know...

Good luck!
