MY EMAIL TO HER
I want to tell you this, lately right after I told you about that party I went to and met that brother of my sisters room mate you sound jealous. And you don’t know why you were But to ask u this, what is going on between us? Is something on your mind? What is bothering you? I did tell you how I felt and it is not right to play with my mind. You seem like you are not respecting how I feel and I don’t like it. Just tell me what is going on! Its time for me to move on and now it seems like you don’t want me to and why is that? You have no idea what I am going through, if you want to know then ask!
If you do care about our friendship then please don’t ignore this.
Friends share!
Her ...reply
ok well my reply is this... to me i dont think its right to force someone into a relationship (even if you to did not talk much.) i dont no if thats how you saw it or not , but that is what i saw when you told me about it. and i did feel jelousy yes, i felt the same when you were going out with Aron and anthony.
i felt (for that split second) that if you did happen to get a boyfreind then we would not be as close of freinds as we are now any more. i felt like i was falling behind in life. everyone seemed to be moving forward but me. and its not just you either.
i know you hate hereing about my family drama. but they have a part in it as well. you see my cousins are getting married... ANDTHERE YEONGER THAN WE ARE!!!!! their ages range from 17 to 20. and when they talk about it i again feel stranded. it may sound stupid but thats how i felt. i never ment for you to think im trying to play with your emotions.
if thats not what you were looking for in a reply the e-mail me back ok?
For instance, I won't understand the "forcing into a relationship" part unless I know more...
But it sounds like she is being very clear otherwise.
She feels that your friendship will diminish if you date someone. AND it sounds like she is a bit depressed (and feeling left out) right now because she thinks that she, like others around her, should be experiencing a whirlwind romance and she isn't.
If she is a good friend, you should be there for her right now and let her know that she is worthy of love, and when it's time: a romantic relationship will come along for her, too. Share your experiences with her, but tread softly so that you don't come off like your bragging..and that is the most difficult thing to do. You want to tell her all about it..but the more you are excited, the more she will become despondent.
Actually, this is not unusual at all between best friends, especially when one begins to experience new "relationships" (or even life experiences) before the other does.
Try to put yourself in her shoes, what would you want from your friend if you were on the other side?
Maybe you should plan some time for you two to hang out together and have some "girl time" WITHOUT (and I do mean without) any guys tagging along? Plan a "girls day out" each week.
