Don't be a Nice Guy™ and enjoy the friendship. Without expectations of sex as payment for you listening to her.
Now, you do mention that you made your feelings clear, and that she rejected you. And that you are moving on. All that is good,
but then you start saying how she "could be the one", and "the obvious boyfriend of 2 years shes still completely infatuated with, with the relationship that's not fully over yet." and s**t like that. If she really is your friend, then you will be friendly and also don't rag on her choice of boyfriend.

Ah don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the guy, i know him to, just stating the facts of the situation really. Haven't ragged on her choice of boyfriend.

Its more she could be the one if, i really let myself care for that thought, which i kinda don't atm.

But yeah your cartoon does make some fair points, interesting food for thought anyway.

Alright then. Just seen that situation way too often. I think the "other fish in the sea"-plan sounds good :thumright:
Was it because of you being diagnosed you put your social life on hold or were there other circumstances? Anyway it sounds great that you're getting out there again, if you feel ready for it.

All I'm taking away from those links, is they're ideas and thoughts that are kinda beyond my rather direct way of thinking. :P

Yeah it was combined with leaving home and college friends for university. Living on my own at uni in two different shared flats for 2 years was a complete disaster in terms of coping with other people, managing to keep up with the workload, actually getting out the door to lectures. In the end after two goes at that first year I was advised and wanted to throw in the towel.
I returned home after that to get my diagnosis.

I then started to look up old college friends to see them moving on getting married, have awesome uni lives, just generally progressing with life; when I was kinda anti-progressing made me wanna not make contacts really. Why let them in to hear about how everything is going well for them when I felt like I had failed and was going backward. Even now i spose if I let anyone I knew in, I'd still have that issue.

Off topic tangent is offtopic. :D

Mainly this whole current situation is me testing the friendship waters again, its just sorta changed a bit, I recognize I'm attracted to her, I admire her attitude to dealing with her other (non boyfriend, not everything is about the boyfriend :P) things in life. How shes dealing with similar problems like weight does kinda inspire me to start caring and trying to fix my problems again. Just generally I'm enjoying socializing again.
I know I have near zero hope of becoming anything more than a friend, and I do accept that and don't care about any future sexs and if anything, I'm perfectly cool with the whole rejection thing, told her as much.

Things are how they are pretty much, I just wanted really to get this off my chest really.

Reading that Nice Guy™ link, yeah I'm not thinking with any of those mindsets. :P


Ahh the whole way peergroups are expected to follow exactly the same trajectory in life really sucks :( Know that everyone doesn't even if it may feel that way sometime, and milestones are just BS. I'm sure you'll get whatever it is you want out of life, even if it's on your timescale and not the same as your previous friends.
Nice getting out there again, and sorry your confession-thread became such a mess. I weren't about to post those other links to you because I doubt you personally fit in it, until mr Boxhead showed up.
Okey fair warning, don't get too hung up on just one person while still single (don't think that's what you're doing, just you know.. Bad idea) but it's nice to have friends you admire :D As it should be!
