Crushing on a friend
We started as romantic interests to eachother a couple of years back, then I cut it off two times before anything serious happened and we kept in touch and now we’re close friends but I have feelings and have been feeling that way for a long time. When dating comes up as a topic it is usually who are you dating/ are you seeing someone. We disagree on several things when it comes to future planning such as wanting to start a family, where to live and whether to have pets. My life has been tough and turbulent, my friend is stable and supportive. I want more but can’t see a future since our visions of it are so different. I don’t want to mindlessly scroll on the apps when I’m so happy with my friend and feel so loved and seen. But we are just friends.. who tickle eachother on the coach and text all day everyday. What should I do?
