Hi, I have been dating a very close friend for some months. We are both in our early 20s. We have been friends for a while and when we started dating two months ago it was a month that she got out of a 3 year long relationship. She told me that she liked me too, and she would immediately say yes, but she wanted to think about it because she felt "free" after the break up and not tied to anyone, and because we would begin our relationship as a long distance one since we wouldn't be in the same town until March.
We tried to build something, we behaved like a couple, had sexual and intimate moments together, but at some point she said she didn't feel like it and that she saw me as a friend for now, but that maybe in future she could change idea (as it happened with her ex boyfriend as well).
Now I really care about this person, but lately I just couldn't bear the fact that she sees me as a friend, and I felt really hurt, and I decided to stop talking to her. It was very painful for both of us, and she told me she misses me already, and I do too. Did I make the right choice by stop talking to her, or should have I kept being her friend? Also if I maybe want to have a second chance with her, is keeping the distance for now and maybe date other people the best choice?
