    I’m fine with us just being friends, but when I dated men and had the same conversations they had the decency to stay and talk to me. I guess what confused me was that she did run away.

    Something I realized, and I completely agree with you is I have to let this go. She and I are still friends and I think we’ll eventually go back to the conversations we used to have. What this is teaching me is I do have to let her go. And I care about her enough to do that and I realize and want someone who will love me and enjoy loving me. Not someone who will run away. She indicated several times toward that, but indicating is different than proclaiming.

    Just personally I was very confused by her behavior and I too was alarmed.

    Yes she did. She became flustered, said no, and ran.

    oh wow. well, clearly whatever caused her to run has everything to do with her and nothing to do with you. because even if she didn't like you, running away is an EXTREME reaction

    I agree. It's bizarre behavior to literally run away! She could just have easily said "no, sorry but I don't feel the same," etc. Running away makes it seem like she had some sort of panic attack. That's obviously some issue that is only about her. Oh well, it's sad really, but moving on from this is the best way to deal I think.

    No, I agree.

    I think space and eventually friendship are our best options.
