I became friends with a college classmate last year. We had many good times together and often hung out. It felt right, so I approached her and asked her out one day. She responded by telling me that she understood where I was coming from, but that she would rather stay "best" friends with me.
Some would say to ditch her at this point. But out of all of my friends, this girl is actually one of the few that is genuinely there for me. She's one of the nicest people I've met and is always cheery. BUT, everytime we hang out nowadays, I can't help but feel this negativity within myself. It's as if I'm constantly reminded that I wasn't good enough for her to see me in a romantic manner and that I'm forever stuck as her friend. I know it sounds selfish, but I would like some input.
