This was kind of a awkward moment for us because while we do really enjoy each other's company we obviously aren't in a relationship together. She kind of laughed and said no that I wasn't her boyfriend and sat back down with me and continued talking.A few minutes later she paused and said she was sorry for what she said to the couple who asked that and that she didn't mean it in any kind of harsh way and in her words, "I just get tense whenever I hear the word boyfriend or love," as she made strangling motions with her hands. The thing with her is that she has quite a streak in being with guys who treat her like crap so she decided to sit out of the dating game for a while and be single and I don't blame her.I told her I understood what she meant and no harm was done by it and we kept talking. But I've felt feelings for her for a while now and I tried to ask her out once but it really wasn't the best time for me to ask that. As far as I can tell we're just friends and I'm ok with that. I like spending time with her and I don't want to compromise that. However, I still care for her and while she may not be ready to date I want to show her that I care while not putting her in an uncomfortable position. I like her and I don't want to lose that.
