Alright. I want some thoughts and advice to sort out how my current situation. I talked to this girl I liked last year. I have intense feelings for her but she is in a relationship, which I respect. I was about to drop her but her and I became best friends. Her name is Michelle. (Fake name for the sake of explaining.)

Michelle is the single most kindest goddamn person on this earth. I'm perplexed at how positive and nice she can be. She has incredible social skills too, resulting in her being able to see right through me. Michelle and I have a bond that I only have with 2 people. Michelle understands me on some other level, though. She's a foreign student so we talk constantly over the phone and through texting.

I'm not sure how to feel. I'm confused since we're close and I also want to go out with her. Since I can't, I settled on being her friend, which has been positive. I realized that I'm not quite on her level of maturity and I want to improve myself so that I can truly be her equal. I respect her so much. I'm just surprised at how this has turned out.

Your thoughts?
