A couple of months ago I professed my love to a close friend of mine I have known since childhood. She told me she loved me as a friend and wanted to keep things that way. I am not throwing away a lifetime friend over being rejected and carried on like normal. Though the cat is out of the bag so to say.

 

A few days ago I signed up on "Bumble" and tonight came across her profile. No harm in swiping right I thought as I swiped, since if she saw me she would have already been "not interested."

 

Well who would have guessed that there was a connection!

 

My initial thought was she had just been drunk swiping, but the photos I have are unmistakably me. I already made the bold move telling her that I loved her. I guess I will have to see what she does with this!?

I would only swipe right on a friend if there was some interest. If I knew a guy friend was into me and I wasn't interested I would definitely not "like" him on a dating site.

I've had a hunch for a while that there is some interest there. I can also tell that she is scared to death that getting involved could ruin our friendship. She is going through a divorce right now and not looking for anything serious, while I on the other hand am.

 

So what do I do with this? She gets jealous when I get a GF, but she won't make a move!

You move on. You have been friendzoned with extreme prejudice. Life isn't like the movies - professing your love after knowing her for so many years says to a woman "I am far more invested in you and don't have balls". Both unattractive qualities to women.

 

If she comes around one day great, but don't plan on it. If she wants you she will take active measures to get you. Simple as that.

Do you really think one swipe will change all of that?

 

Seriously?

She doesn't want a relationship with you but she doesn't want another girl to "take away" her friend / shoulder to cry on / emotional tampon.

She did it to be polite.

 

You are friendzoned.

 

You will not be the next Multi million dollar version of the Notebook, You've got Mail nor will you be Chandler in Friends...

 

Time to stop over thinking and move on.

My feeling is she didn't want to be rude since she knew you and was just being friendly.
