>be me
>am a 4/10, but put on this facade of a cocky stud
>a 10 that i had been friends with for awhile shows interest
>get drunk, tell her how i feel
>"oh yeah I like you too but i have problems w relationships"
>alright not bad, but not what i wanted to hear
>ask her if we're gonna be a thing
>"yeah we just have to take it wayyyyy slow"
>i can live with this
>try and resume the friendship we have in order to 'take it slow' while still being flirtatious
>we used to laugh all the time when we hung out now the air is just full of an awkwardness
>text her some more, say shit like 'goodnight gorgeous'
>plain old 'goodnight' response
>ask how work is going
>not even a response
do i just stop talking to her and let her come back or did I ruin something or did she just say she liked me out of pity and right now i am like a quarter step above a friend zone
i need answers
don't want to invest emotional energy into a dead horse
should probably mention that we had drunken sex the night before i told her how i felt
>"Oh yeah I like you too but I have problems with relationships"
What she means by this is that she likes you but doesn't see you as being a long term partner. Get out now while you still have some dignity. Even if she does decide to be with you it will only be until someone better comes along.
