What is the different between friendship and true love?

Question

I loved (romantically) her for 7 years and still counting. I moved to a different city with my parents because I have no money for my own place. She not happy about it, my guy friend told me over the phone that she was mad that I left. now my mind is driving me crazy I cant think straight because I think she likes me, but she is straight and she told me she doesn’t see me in that way. I know she see me as a sister but my heart cant move on. She misses me but how can I move on! I just moved here to this new city and I am just 2 hours away from her, I didn’t find a job yet so it'll be hard to find someone else soon... I am bisexual 21 year ol’ girl slowly coming out. Why does she miss me when she knows I like her, why cant I move on and what can I do to make me realize that she is just a friend?! What is the different between friendship and true love?

Answer 1

I believe that friendship is an integral part of true love. So I can understand your anguish. I have not gone through the same exact thing, but many a happy long, lasting relationship are based on friendship, honesty and communication, and being able to tell your partner anything, just like a best friend.

That's how it was with my grandparents, and my grandma always said my pap-pap was her best friend.

Sorry, I know I didn't really solve your problem, but I hope I helped you understand your feelings better.

Keep in mind that there are several types of real love, and that you can sincerely miss friends and family as well as lovers... With that said, none of us will be able to tell you if she loves you the way that you love her- it sounds at this point, that you don't even know how you love her. This is such a sticky subject because she likely doesn't even know what she wants or why she misses you so much. There's always the chance that she does have feelings for you, but for some reason (stereotypes, identity issues...) she is unable to see that her love for you really is more than a friendship... HOWEVER, you did just move and especially since we don't know how she feels, you DO need to move on. Try to live your life for you- get settled in, get a good job and make some new neighborhood friends. Keep contact with this girl as much as you'd like, but try your best not to dwell on her.... If the two of you are meant to be together it WILL end up that way... In the mean time take care of yourself and don't let yourself miss out on the now, waiting for a future that may or may not ever come! Good luck!
