Went out with my friend the other day. Haven’t seen her since my birthday weekend 2 months ago. We caught up, talked about what we were up to. I was flirting with her friends who she brought from work and she asked about the girls I’ve been seeing and I showed her. It was a great night honestly.

I didn’t really think much of anything with her ever in the 8-9 years we’ve been friends. But the day after..... I suddenly had felt a weird feeling. Like I actually was INTO her. Now I’m ghosting right now for whatever time I think is necessary.

Most of you will say “isolate and try to escalate” but the reason I don’t want to try anything is because we’ve been very close friends for a long time. I never gave a shit about when she would talk about guys she was seeing or fucking. We were cool like that. But now that I look at her in that way. What do I do if she does contact me or wants to hang out? Our friendship was normal and cool. Now that I feel this way I’m just confused about it. Advice would be much appreciated on how to handle this.
