However, the other day she told me she thinks it would be better if we stay as just friends. Her reasoning for this is that she is still in nursing school and doesn't know where she is going to end up so she needs to figure out her life first.
I told her that I cannot be just friends with her because I care about her too much. After doing some thinking I have asked her not to contact me unless it is about getting back together. This is probably the toughest thing I've ever had to say anyone but it is just too hard for me to see her number on my phone or hang out with her as just friends.
I really want to be with the girl but I know that I cannot force her to like me so I'm just gonna give her space and see what happens. I've decided that I need move on and if things are meant to be, than she will miss reach out and try to contact me.
Am I doing the right thing? What should I have done differently? Is there anything else I should do?
