4 months ago a friend of mine basically confessed to me that she has always been attracted to me. I began to hang out with her and I thought we really hit it off. I began to grow very fond of her all the while her interest seemed to wane. A couple months in she let me know that she was stuck on her ex and promptly ran back to him in what she called a "last ditch" effort; apparently wanted to make sure this guy was or wasn't "the one." That lasted 3 weeks and now they're done for good. To be clear, she's about to turn 20 and I'm approaching my 22nd birthday if that is further indication to her behavior(i really don't know).
I had completely stopped talking to her when she got back with her ex but now that she's single again we have renewed our friendship, though it would appear we aren't on the same page. I'm still very interested and she maintains that she has no interest in any guys for the foreseeable future(sounds like a cop out to me). I sat down and spoke with her last week and told her that I was still interested and things have kind of been tense since then.
I want her interest to be renewed but I don't know how to get to that point. I've found it extremely difficult to remain apathetic about the situation and I feel like keeping distance is going to be my best bet. I've still been texting her some since our talk, but I'm good friends with her roommates so it has been difficult not inviting her and them places. I feel like I may have already fudged this one up but I want to know if there's anything left here to salvage. Any advice? How can I get myself out of this mess?
