Freind zoned

Okay, so me and this girl ive known for a good bit have been talking as of recently.

She’s been liking my stories talking to me at school, etc.

One day i finally get the courage to text her out.

I had said, “Hey, i’ve wanted to let you for a long time now, that i really like you and i want to be in a relationship with you.

Doesn’t respond for 10 minutes.

When she does it says “Aw that’s sweet, but i’ve always thought it was more of a friendship thing than anything romantic, i’m sorry”

For the past two weeks she’s been giving signs of her liking, but now i ask she says no and friend zones me?

I have no problem with getting rejected as it’s been happening for a while but how are you gonna send all these signals and just say no when I try to act on them?

Fuck my life
