Help with friend zone?

0

So there’s this girl that I’ve been hanging out with for a while. I grew to like her and when I told her that, she said “I don’t have those feelings for you yet.” The next day at school we both pretended I never told her I like her and life at school continued the same way. But now that I’m in the friend zone, should I just forget about her or keep trying? I still like her and sometimes get jealous because she hugs and talks to other boys…

I hated this in high school. I had these guy friends, who I thought were really my friends, and then I found out they all just wanted to sleep with me. Why would you "forget about her" just because she doesn't have those feelings for you? Can't you two just be friends? If you really like her and hang out with her a lot, wouldn't you rather have her in your life than not? If it's all or nothing, then just be honest with her. Don't pretend to be her friend if you are just going to sit around waiting for something else to happen. You have to accept things the way they are. Either decide that you're ok being friends or tell her that you can't be friends with her because you will always want more. If you're going to be jealous whenever another guy looks her way, it sounds like you probably can't be friends.

I don't know if she meant it when she included the "yet" part or she was just trying to let you down gently but I think it's clear that there's not really much you can do to sway her at this point. You told her how you feel and she's not ready for something like that just yet. So just accept it and move on until she indicates something different.
