Good afternoon, fellows!
I wouldn't normally make a thread of this nature, as I have no problem with girls in any respect. However, I do tend to do the wrong thing in these sorts delicate situations, (Which I am about to detail!) so I figured why not ask those champions of advice; GAF?
There is this girl named Stephanie who is very much my friend is also very much in love with me. She has been for about 6 months, I'd figure. She hadn't ever told me before, it was just sort of very obvious! She is basically my closest female friend, and I cannot see her in a sexual light no matter how hard I try. So last night I was telling her about this girl I am interested in and plan to persue in the coming days. You may say to yourself "A bold move, thugg! Telling a girl that most likely loves you about some harpy you fancy!" But it isn't really that absurd, as we've talked of such things before and she is in fact a good friend of my ex-girlfriend. It's a tangled web, really. At any rate, this conversation proved to be a disasterous move as she suddenly confessed her feelings for me and then immediately stopped talking to me!
My initial response was "Duh", but my brother seems to think that would be a bad choice and will make me appear callous. Which is sort of the truth, I am quite callous, and it's bad to let people know the truth of things.
Therein lies the problem of course! My callous nature of years gone by has sort of dwindled and I actually care about this girl as a friend. In a situation where I would usually just break her heart, I am instead opting for advice on how to handle this delicately.
To clarify: I have no interest in her romantically, or sexually, but she is however one of the greatest people I have ever met and want to stay friends with her!
Let's do this, GAF!
