You’ve been FZ’d
It’s futile, and impossibly unavoidable. And like what I’ve reiterated a gazillion times, the universe works in mysterious ways. You can’t change the fact that you’re in the zone that can go nowhere but down. Two ways of how you can deal with this though: the first way, which I think is pretty noble as well, is to just suck it up and take it in your stride to accept the fact that you’re just a friend. Make use of what you’ve built and since you cherish what you two have, just go ahead with that and continue. A beautiful friendship is way better than a relationship that’s forced and doomed to failure. The other way you can handle it is by just leaving it as it is, and walking away. What could potentially be the most amazing friendship you could have, has been terminated.
For the former, there’s gonna be bound to be the “coulda, would, shoulda’s,” but that’s all to it. Just mere thoughts and hopes. Let go of that, it ain’t nothing but unnecessary stress that could possibly put a strain on the friendship. For the latter, it kinda shows a tinge of immaturity, but to each his own. If absence will help you move on, then get back when you’re ready to be in the friendship. If you two have an understanding, then hooray for you. If not, at least you know that going on to the next level would’ve been disastrous.
The friend zone really sucks, especially when you’re one who easily grow crushes for people.. You may or may not act on it, but when you do, you go all out and all these silly expectations come about. You start creating the ideal relationship in your head only to be slapped in the face with a plateful of disappointments.
You’re stuck in the friend zone. Nothing’s gonna change that. Take my word for it, I should know better.
Being thrown into the friend zone = My life.
