Just be friends and go find one that wants more.

Be friends? Well, you can take the other route and keep on trying eventually ending the friendship.

Is the friend zone real or am I just too in my head?

Oh the friend zone is real, but it is that or enemies...

Huh. The thing is if I stay friends with her my feelings are just going to keep growing while the whole time she just wants to be friends. I guess that's why I'm here. Trying to move on so I can stay friends with her.

Don't sound like you have much choice. Unless you go ted bundy.

If you can't handle being friends with the chick in question, then stop being friends. It's that simple. You're just deluding yourself otherwise.

I've tried telling her I can't handle it. Somehow it never works. I always end up apologizing. She thinks I'm too emotionally young. Probably because i have depression.

Well that isn't a complete shutdown, she is opening potential for the future...oddly enough this is where I screw up most opportunities much like this, don't do what I do and keep trying. Just be friends and see where it goes in the future, but keep in mind the full possibility of nothing happening in the future and with that in mind continue to see other people.

That's what I'm trying to do. It's just difficult, you know?

I know...that is where I tend to screw everything up. You have a few possibilities here; keep pushing for a date thus pushing her away from you, let it be and just go with the flow of friendship seeing what comes later, or third...kill her. I don't recommend the third option.

Damn, that's a good point. I'm guessing number two is the right way to go.

I keep thinking that if I just stop talking to her she'll realize what she missed out on. I know that's the wrong thing to do though.

She should really have cut you loose.. Sounds like she doesnt want you, but keeps you around to be worshipped... if she doesnt think your good enough, stop being desperate, and sitting around stroking her ego, shes not gonna budge. Pretty rare a male, and a female are platonic, and no flirting, or expectations to become more. Find someone who deserves you man.

I agree with earthytaurus. She is spot on. You'll find the years going by and you'll be in the same position. She's getting what she needs out of the relationship and you stay in limbo. She gives you just enough to hang in there, but never enough. I have two friends who are going on 3 and 4 yrs and they lightly date but can't look for anything more meaningful because they are committed in their own minds.
