I know what I want... I just don't want to keep pushing myself
onto someone who is not interested in me, because I believe that
true love doesn't mean forcing it upon someone who is unwilling to
accept it.
He has made it clear that he can't imagine having a long term r/s
with me, it is just my stubborn heart which refuses to give up, and
I believe that I should not force it upon someone who does not see
the way I see him, cos it will only make things worse, and destroy
the friendship altogether.
