Ever since i told my friend happy valentines with a kiss and a rose, i feel like she's been avoiding me

I know i have no chance with you dude, i'm not trying to court you lol. I'm a playful flirt with all my friends and i'll always do it in a way where they know it isn't serious.

But i feel a distance and it kinda hurts my feelings. I'm stuck between "don't flatter yourself" and "wow...you really want nothing to do with me that way, you're making sure there isn't any confusion"


Sometimes i just want to cut her off. But that'll hurt her too.

But i also can't really be myself around you. I'm always wondering if what i do or what i say will have her thinking she should keep me at arms length again. It's tiring and it makes my interactions with her dull. I'm too busy overthinking every interaction.


Maybe once again i'm stuck finding out that i'll have to take matters into my own hands and just end the friendship amicably.


The other person, friend or lover never knows when something is over, and its always up to me to end it lol
