    I met this girl about 4 months ago and yes im a girl too. we lived together in a shared house with other women (very strict no visitors). we became good friends and others noticed how close we were. over a month ago i left to live in my own home. when I left i didnt say by to her face to face cause she was out, so we said goodbye in a text.
    we clearly missed each other
    when I left we began messaging nonstop. friendly texts became very flirty which she started the whole flirting. at first i took it a joke even though I did feel something for her before hand. texts started to become more intense. out of the blue using emojis she kissed me along with a smurk & sad, i didnt know what to do so i replied with laughs, smile & kiss then back she replied angry, sad and shocked. after we just sent random gifs til we feel asleep, then we awake with more intimate texts. this was continuous for several days. 1 night I had enough & tried to get words from her it was like a soft argument she wouldn't tell me then both fell asleep, i woke up and wrote "i do like you" i felt really guilty so i texted her "sorry" she said "sorry about what?" "I don't know" so I don't know how she felt.
    everything still continued but there was less flirting and I wondered why? I felt she was scared to admit her feelings. time carried on and still texted non stop without question. she confronted me with a hint and I hinted back which gave me an impression that shes got mixed emotions and demons.
    then I found out. she couldn't tell me straight up, but she mentioned her new bf in a text and she keep it hush hush telling people she wernt seeing anyone to the point where it just adds up.
    she still texts me and still flirts with me, I don't like it and there's so much emotional pain. she seems to text me a lot when shes not with him and i know for definite. her convos with me get really deep mostly about her past even admitted shes unsure about her bf and she acts really childish and annoys me on purpose cause she misses me she tells me. I think i really do have love for her but I can only know until I see her in person if she loves me or shall I just back away all together. even as friends we have a spiritual romantic connection. shes really hurt me but wont admit that either. I just want to know what's actually going on between us even if we can't be together ill accept that

    Wow, emotional post.

    If you really love her, then come to her face to face and tell her so.
    Accept that it could be hard, accept that you might be rejected, accept that it might permanently damage your relationship. If you really feel a connection, then go for it. Jump as high as you can, reach for the stars, and if you fall on your face and break your nose get back up and know that at the end of the day you did what you could. Who knows, she might have feelings for you, and you two could have a lovely relationship.

    But what do I know, I'm just the guy chilling in a swivel chair, that's just my two cents.

    Firstly, thank you for talking about this. It can be a sad experience but coming to EmptyClosets for advice was a good thing. We're all just like you, yet different like you, and that's what makes you, me and everyone fabulous :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    It sounds like you're very confused. From what I can gather you've met a girl, flirted with her, thought you liked each other but she turned out to have a boyfriend (yet she still likes you). I haven't read the texts (obviously) but I can tell you one thing already - relationships are confusing. And a relationship can be a friendly one, a romantic one or a sexual one. Knowing which of those the relationship between you and your friend was is the tricky part. However, I think from the 'sorry about what' part that she does have feelings for you (or at least did then).

    It also sounds like she has a boyfriend but doesn't really want to, in a sense. If she is constantly pleading for you to see her and saying of being unsure of her boyfriend, then she clearly cares for you in a way. Maybe she just wants a female friend to talk to, or perhaps more. But she at least wants some form of communication (you've been keeping up conversation) so you're on friendly (at least) terms with her.

    Leaving a question unanswered is a terrible thing to do. I'm leaving the gender question unanswered to myself and it's killing me. But the difference between us is I can't answer my question, wheras you can answer yours. Go and meet her. See her face to face, if that's the thing that gives you reassurance. Or if you'd prefer, ask her through a message. If you just want to know, then you can find out. It's an incredibly hard thing to do, but you can do it.

    And if she's hurt you in the past and that makes you not want to do that, then you don't have to. Your life is your choice, and in this situation, you can take any path you wish to - hopefully aiming towards the outcome that you want from all of this.

    Please know that I'm always here if you need me, along with the whole EmptyClosets community.

    Wishing you warm hugs and happiness (*hug*),

    hi! thank you. as a friend I love her. i can read her like a book. i see her for who she is but she wears masks that ive seen straight through and love what i see even if she doesnt see it. shes very confident and way more out going than me, she takes a shine to me cause im quite wise as a person maybe im someone who just really understands her. so hopefully in the future ill get the real answer. but if she really "loves" her boyfriend then I love her enough not to ruin that for her. she sends me shivers so I know all the i feel is bouncing of our souls so in that sense im prepared for anything as the body and mind is nothing without the soul. if things don't go well at least the soul will live on even if there's damage.

    hello. thanks you
    the more I think about her i feel like i do love her. in a way we're in each others sickness. everytime i have doubts with her she keeps painting us in a picture. recently I've been helping her fight off her demons ive even told her to see a counselor but she wants me to do it all for her but what if im not around forever for her. we come from very different paths. every little psychological thing shes attacked me with. even before this all got out ive had a series of dreams about her with various messages that reflect on the reality of us including the warnings and dangers mad how that happens. :lol:

    Ultimately you should do the thing that you want to do most. If you decide you love her, go ahead and say it. If you don't, then don't. Only you can make that choice though. Regardless, all love and good wishes to you on your way. (*hug*)

    our situations a bit like that Elvis song Marie's the name eventhough ive not met him

    A very old friend came by today
    'Cause he was telling everyone in town
    Of the love that he just found
    And Marie's the name of his latest flame

    He talked and talked and I heard him say
    That she had the longest blackest hair
    The prettiest green eyes anywhere
    And Marie's the name of his latest flame

    Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burnin
    I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
    He was gone but still his words kept returnin
    What else was there for me to do but cry

    Would you believe that yesterday
    This girl was in my arms and swore to me
    She'd be mine eternally
    And Marie's the name of his latest flame

    I dont know how I'm gonna get over this if it's not to be. I need explaining from her, what I assume shes not known this guy for very long. I know she can be quite lustful especially towards men but shes been through bad experiences though I don't know how she feels about women. the way shes looked in the past at me makes me think shes bi the way shes looked at me with a deep glare. when i compliment her even if it's something little, she doesn't shut up about it and tells everyone. another thing I've noticed when there's a group of people in a room it feels we're fitted together (as friends) but when others mention us as a couple she goes dead silent and when people talk about the gay scene shes dead silent again I watch her body language when shes next to me she looks down and i do too

    I think it's time to lay it all out on the table. As harsh as it might sound, be prepared that you might have to cut off all contact—at least for a while. It doesn't sound like your relationship as it stands is very healthy. You confessed your feelings. She didn't confirm or deny her own. She has a boyfriend. She's still flirting with you and keeping you on the hook. She has your emotional confidence—telling you about her past and how things are going with her relationship.

    Whatever her sexuality, it doesn't sound like she's entirely sure of herself yet and she's not being fair to you because of it. Talk to her about it.

    yeah we are going through something very hard together. I think she need to compose her cues better, shes defently got something to confess good or bad. shes such a caring loving person but at the same time uncaring in a childish way. i wont go into detail about her past, but shes had her dramas with men and she really worries. before she got with her now boyfriend she told everyone that she wasnt ready for a realstionship as before him she was dating someone she wasnt sure about and shes aways consernded about her sex life more than the guys shes with. shes not a slut but she can be very spontaneous. she gets male attention everywhere she goes. she claims to like a "bad boy" like a protector. almost she sees men in a fictional way and doesnt see people for who they are and that makes me worry. shes like a professional heartbreaker. shes told me shes more herself around me and ive given her confidence and i think thats very cute. shes even given me a few stares. i think she looks up to me she always tells me im wise or intelligent to the point she dumbs herself down and i dont like that cause id rather be her equal. i dont thinks shes intentionally hurting me to bully me, its more like provoking me to tease me. i just want her to tell her truths instead of throwing our friendship in my face. its a bit of a love hate type of cycle at the moment. i just want her to be stable and steady in her own mind wether shes straight, bi or gay.
    ive talked to another friend about her. she said there might be something but to be warned.

    strangely the way she flirts with me is how i sorta used to flirt with girls i liked when i was about 14. its the teasing pattern that gets me. were both in our early 20s

    I really connect with you here. I have been talking to a guy for over a year, and it really felt like we were going to be together. However, I confessed feelings for him and he doesn't "have that spark." We still talk a lot and ehhhh. It's challenging.

    What really got me was when you said you need an explanation. That's definitely a double edged sword. An explanation can sometimes help, but then it can also sometimes hurt. For example, with my guy - he talked about not having that spark. However, a few minutes later he mentioned that he didn't have any feelings for this guy he went out with but then gained feelings when he learned the guy enjoyed family time (something I do, too!) It made me question his explanation more.

    Just be mindful of what you're looking for. <3

    hello. thanks for sharing
    its very true the explaining can mean anything. i asked her once what her motives were, she replied "i dont have one" normally the most horrible typical thing with girls when they like you but at same time trying to hide it, is to be as irritating and wrap themselves around you and act childish. when i question her behaviour she doesnt give a solid answer its all "because" or "god knows" ive tried to twist it all and make a path for her to say something. theres no "i dont like you in that way" if she doesnt i wish she said but we keep going down the long path.

    ---------- Post added 23rd Apr 2017 at 10:46 AM ----------

    shes definitely left a mark on my heart. i hope im still in hers. she needs to stop twisting shes really making it unfair for everyone, herself, me, her boyfriend who shes potentially lying to. im paraniod that shes only with her boyfrend to dodge the fact she has feelings for a woman as they got together quickly. i have a right to judge that if i can judge their relationship

    ---------- Post added 23rd Apr 2017 at 10:53 AM ----------

    im sure im in her head cause we do text though night til morning. or if we dont talk she'll suprise me with a text at stupid o' clock in the morning and we carry on again. when shes upset with everyone she thinks the whole world is against her and she wants to see me. to be very honest im actually really scared. it could be an intense romance
