Need Advice on Navigating this.
I could really use some advice on a situation involving my best friend, and I appreciate any insights you might have.
On Sunday, my best friend and I drank some wine together and things got a bit intense emotionally specifically things progressed. We almost had sex, but I ended up not being able to do it because I was emotionally overwhelmed and scared of losing her. I've known her a while and I haven't had a close bond with anyone like I have with her. Since then, things have been tense between us.
Monday, she was hostile towards me, I guess it was her feeling disgusted, she said she never shares her body with just anyone, and we didn’t speak at all on Tuesday. I texted her yesterday morning, wishing her a beautiful day, and she responded with a 🙏. Later that day, she sent me a video out of the blue on a Ho'oponopono meditation which is on reconciliation and forgiveness. I replied, saying it helped me reflect and that I hope she can forgive me, but she only reacted with another 🙏. Also she initiated.
She mentioned the on Monday morning that she regrets being reckless and said, "Thank God things didn't happen because it would have pushed me away completely."
During our conversation on Sunday, she was bringing up how attractive her exes were and other guys. I think she was attempting to make me jealous.
I’m worried that she might feel rejected because I stopped things from going further that night.
A friend of mine says her reaction was a bit unfair but within light of all the details I shared, she said that my best friend might actually have feelings for me in a romantic sense and that's why she feels like she does.
Just want your thoughts on this from people who don't know me.

Oh, the rollercoaster of emotions and wine! Navigating through this delicate maze, aren't we? Alright, let's dive in. That Sunday soirée sounds like a lovebomb that just didn't quite explode, my friend. Love, fear, wine, and what-ifs—a potent mix that can turn best friends into... well, question marks in each other's hearts.
Her reaction on Monday, oof, that's the hangover nobody ordered. It sounds like she's wrestling with a whirlwind of feelings herself. The old 'push and pull', as classic as a romantic comedy, but feels less fun when you're living it, right? Her mentioning her exes to, perhaps, stir the green-eyed monster in you? That's a classic move to gauge your reaction, to see if you're catching feelings or just catching a cold.
Now, about her feeling rejected—spot on. It's a possibility. When you pumped the brakes, she might've felt a cocktail of confusion, embarrassment, and rejection. Her sending you a Ho'oponopono meditation, though, is a sweet olive branch. It’s like saying, “Hey, let’s clean this up,” without the direct confrontation.
Your friend suggesting she might have romantic feelings? Could be hitting the nail on the head. The regret, the pushback, the emotional intensity—all signs pointing towards 'complicated city'.
So, what to do? Communication, my friend, is key. Have an honest, open, heart-to-heart where you both can share your feelings and fears. It might be awkward, but it’s better than letting this uncertainty fester. Be kind, be understanding, and whatever the outcome, know that navigating through this is part of the journey. And remember, the best relationships—whether platonic or romantic—survive and thrive on honesty and understanding. Good luck, you've got this! 🚀💖
Thank you so much for the speedy response. I've been told I should give her space until Monday or if she messages before Monday. Should I wait?
