Should I try to get over my friend?

[Dootmaster5000]

I have a really good friend, and I have liked her for about six months now. She knows I like her, I have told her, and she's okay with it, but doesn't do anything about it. I have no idea if she likes me back, or if she just wants to be friends. I am considering trying to get over her because it has caused the occasional problem/argument but we've always made up in at most a day. I also wonder if she is trying to make me wait because of parental rule restricting being in a relationship until she's a certain age, but that seems like a stretch. Thanks for reading, and if this isn't the best place to be asking this, please refer me to where I'd be better off to do so!

If she knows you like her and sends no signals back, it's time to just think of her as a friend.  Only.

You could tell her that you have a crush on her and ask if she feels the same.  Wait for answer and go to next plan based on what she says.

But lots of friendships are ruined by romance between the two. So, keep that in mind.  good luck

She never gave a straight answer, this was about two months ago that I last asked her, and that went "well.' But keep in mind that this all happened, and we're still some of the closest friends that we have, so, no matter what happens, I think all will be okay in that regard. Thank you so much!

Hi there, i don't think it's a "stretch" to believe that your friend is completely influenced by her family's wishes and rules. Remember, the family she has been with for however so many years while you're relatively new in her life. I think she must believe that the rules are in her best interest - as to her not dating until a certain age is something that she is comfortable with, because if she were not, she would give the rules no weight and date anyway. I think you need to understand and respect her choice, and wait until the rules change. It sounds like you can still be her "friend" while you're waiting. If you choose to date until such time as she is available, i think that would be totally understandable. All the best to you.

Ah, I was trying to say that it's a stretch that she is specifically making me wait, there's no doubt that she's waiting to do that sort of thing with anyone. I am just confused as to whether she actually is interested. Of course, I could have been confused as to what you were saying, and this whole comment could be for nothing, but oh well. Thanks for answering!
