I was friends with a girl for a couple of years, and after her longterm boyfriend dumped her i started having feelings for her. I let her know how i felt and after a while We started seeing each other. In the beginning she made me promise that whatever happened between us in the future, we would always be friends. After a month she lost interest a few bad things happened and she split up with me. She went off with other guys, and i havent been in a serious relationship since. I was angry to begin with, but now we never see each other and i havent spoken to her in months. I, like you, dont think i could bear to be 'just frends' with her after all that. I still think about her quite a bit though, and i dont think i'll ever get over it as to this day i dont know why she spilt up with me.
