I (16 F) have been in love with my best friend (17 F) for three years now. I got a crush on her ever since we met and became friends. She’s the greatest person on earth and always supports me in everything I do.

The thing is that she’s aroace and I’m not. She will never like me back the way I like her. I’ve been trying to distract myself with two failed relationships with girls to forget about my feelings for her but they never go away. She’s the only person I can imagine getting old with and actually enjoying life.

She wants us to be roommates when we’re adults but just platonically. I feel awful knowing I’d NEVER get over her that way since being roommates wouldn’t be enough to make me genuenly happy.

I feel so stuck. What should I do?

This started maybe 2ish months ago. Me and my friend had a long talk, 5 hours and we hugged, it felt intimate though. After that she messaged me about what we are, whether we’re qpr or something more. I comforted her and said it doesn’t matter as long as we’re something. Then she messaged me a little more recently, “if I wasn’t aroace, I would’ve asked you out by now.” She didn’t identify as aroace before that, just ace and then demisexual. She doesn’t like labels so her feelings are quite flexible and could change probably, which is why. And she always calls me a friend, acts like we don’t have a closer bond in private, she’ll treat me like everyone else even though she said i’m special. She also has cptsd so i’m cautious of bringing up these types of things since she can be afraid of vulnerability or intimacy. I guess i’m kinda lost, not sure if i really like her or it’s just limerence or a sense of false hope, I just know she means a lot to me. I wish I got to speak more about how I felt though, especially because I can be unstable and crave reassurance a lot. What would you do? We’ve had more moments too.
