    Normally when a girl or guy decides they just want to be friends there is unfortunately very little you can do to change their minds and it already seems as though she is making an effort to distance herself from you.

    I'm not exactly sure what the conversation between you two was like and whether or not you explained exactly your feelings for her. You could try talking to her one last time and explain how you really would like to be more than just friends but it may be too late. And I wouldn't push the issue any further than that.

    As hard as it is you will probably just have to accept that things wont work out like you want them to between you two. You will also have to decide if you are ok just being friends with her maybe you can, but sometimes its just not possible. You will probably just to have to chalk this down as experience gained and move on.

    I've gotten this line a lot. So much so that I can see it coming a mile away and the last few times it's happened I've told the girls that we should be friends before she gets the chance...in fact, I do it right before they're about to say it.

    But all you can do it accept it, deal with it and get on with it.
    What is it? It's just life, and it's great, life that is. You live and you learn!

    You played games, and now you're seeing the results.

    Why would she not "just want to be friends" if you've turned her down a few times ?

    P.S. Ridiculous text-speak and abbreviations make people less likely to respond, because they've better things to do with their time than try to decipher it.
