She knows you have feelings for her - that's why she's not returning your calls. She's probably still recovering from her previous relationship and you're complicating things by trying to pick her up so soon after the breakup. I think if she were interested you'd know it. Unless she calls you and actually starts feeling comfortable talking with you, my advice is to leave her alone and let her know that you are a-okay with being friends and don't bring up the issue of dating again.

What do you mean that she doesn't want to hang out or return your calls? She's not calling you back at all? I thought you guys have been friends for years? Doesn't make sense. I think you should give her some time if she just got out of a bad relationship. She's probably having a hard time adjusting to be single again and trying to figure out exactly what she wants now. No one wants to make the same mistake twice. Keep being there as a friend. If she backs off and needs some alone time, let her do it. If she's truly your friend, she'll come back around, and you have to remember that sometimes people are only friends for a reason. If it develops into something more it can be very confusing and place stress on the friendship. Did anything ever happen between the two of you? Romantically? Or was she with this other guy the whole time?

Don't really know what else can be said.

 

I think you have two choices: tell her you want more than a friendship, or keep silent and accept the status quo. Pretty simple really.

 

Just remember, if you tell her and her feelings aren't mutual, it's going to be very awkward and you may end up losing your friendship. But then again, maybe you have wanted more than friendship for a long time???

You're making the right move, Ryan. Time to move on.

 

And I think the lesson here is, don't hang around a girl under the pretense of friendship when you know you want more than that. If you want romance, go for it. You'll waste a lot of time just being someone's friend, and usually, once you're just a friend, you're always 'just a friend'.
