Is it wrong to just stop talking to her even though I am suffering too? I move pretty slow with women because I like to establish a friendship before I try to become "more than friends" (This might not be the most successful route, but I prefer it). A few months ago I met one of the most amazing girls I've ever met. What options do I really have? At the same time, I would not want to hurt her in any way because she has become someone I care about deeply. We met in a college class and quickly became good friends. We talked for a while and she told me that she had thought of me in a "more than friends" kind of way, but that she did not want a relationship at this point in her life. She then told me that her last boyfriend had ruined her emotionally and it really affected her negatively at work and at school and that she wouldn't want any chance of that happening again (we are both almost done with our undergrad programs so this is a key time in determining our futures). I am contemplating breaking contact with her because the pain of seeing a woman who I think is perfect for me almost everyday and knowing that nothing can come of it is becoming too much to handle. Anyway, I recently ended up telling her how I felt about her and that it had taken me a fairly long time to not only develop these feelings, but then convey them. In my opinion that is a very legitimate excuse, but I like her far too much to be "just friends" again.

Slip?
