I like this boy a lot. he’s also one of my best friends and we had the talk about our feelings last week and he said he likes me too but that he’s afraid to lose me because he dated one of our other friends and their relationship didn’t end up well and they’re friends but just not the same. and he keeps flirting with me just like we were before. and the one thing i told him is that i don’t want to one day be friends the next day be more than that and the next day be strangers and he’s doing that again. and it’s killing me. and today we had a band performance and he invited his ex girlfriend to it. and seeing them together again killed me. and i don’t understand cause he won’t let me flirt with anyone else like he breaks it up or he stares at me and his state makes me so uncomfortable i have to stop talking to them. and i just feel so stuck it literally pains me to feel like this and i’m just so confused.
