Search Results: pretend to have feelings for others

- We had a really good chemistry. We used to touch each other, stare at each other, and just have a lot of fun.
- She used to tell me everything as well although she never spoke about other guys.
- Then one day I sent her a flirty text. This made her even more flirty.
- Few weeks later, I send her a couple more. This made her awkward around me in person. I asked if she wanted to go bowling and she suggested getting a team together (instead of just us 2 going).
- So assuming she didn't like me as more than a friend, I lied and told her I've never seen her as more than a friend.
- Since then, she still comes to things I invite her to (group things only) and texts me etc but it's just not been the same. She doesn't invade my personal space anymore etc. She occasionally smiles at me. At the same time, she seems to try to make it seem like we're only friends.
- At a birthday party I invited her she seemed to be tired but semi-enjoying it or at least pretending. She texted me thanking me later for inviting her.
- I did ask if we could meet for a chat. I was going to confess to her my feelings but she said she's really sorry that she can't and that she hopes I'm ok. To be fair I found out she has a genuine reason she couldn't at the time I specified.
