Well, for context I (18F) have a best friend (17F) and I don’t want to enter in details because it would get too long but basically my best friend is super extroverted, super pretty, everyone is in love with her, etc.. but also she tends to fall in love very easily (normally with boys) and then move on a week later so when I realized 3 months ago that she was in love with me I figured out that it would pass if I acted dumb and blind but, you guessed it, it didn’t.

First there were subtle hints, then she was trying to kiss me every time that we were alone, then she actually did it, I didn’t want to make the situation uncomfortable so I acted dumb and didn’t follow the game and set some boundaries after that.

Yesterday we went out shopping together and at one point she said she wanted to go to the bathroom and when we were there she kissed me, I didn’t follow the kiss and once more I acted dumb because I wasn’t expecting it, I thought nothing would come out of it but she started tearing up and telling me that she was in love with me, there were more people so I said let’s go somewhere else and we went to seat then she started confessing (she was about to cry) and asking me why I didn’t feel the same for her, if there was something wrong with her, my heart literally broke into a thousand pieces, I love her with all my heart, she is my best friend, but I don’t see her with those eyes, I explained it to her, I said how sorry I was and told her that this wouldn’t make out friendship uncomfortable.

Everything seemed fine after that, we went walking, we left like 3 hours later, she joked about it (I didn’t because I know that for her it would be a sensible topic) and she even told me that we should go out again next week, when I arrived home after that we had a 30 minutes call where we were talking normally like always.

The next day we texted a little about a boy in her gym and I told her that after she talks to him she has to tell me what he said (jokingly) And I was surprised with 2 voice messages talking about how she was hurt with what happened and that she was in love with me and we shouldn’t talk during these two weeks (vacation weeks) and give us some space, honestly I was very hurt and I just cried and forgot to respond, obviously I understand how she feels, why she told me this and that she is probably much sadder than I am but I am scared that I will lose my best friend, after a few hours I wanted to answer but I noticed that she had blocked me, honestly I feel like I might me the AH because I ignored her feelings for all the time I knew and maybe my boundaries weren’t clear enough and also I would like an advice please on what to do, will the friendship come back to normal again?

(Also I have to say that I like girls but I am very private about it and she knows it so the reason I am not in love with her is not that)
