This is very “for real.”

CBerg has totally changed his posting style since he had this revelation.

Much more clear in his meaning.

Everything is much clearer to me now even if things are more difficult.

I have no idea which forum this belongs in so I made some other threads, I'm really thankful for anybody who can reply.

I need all the help we can get to be honest. Mods please have mercy - this is the biggest question I've ever asked.

8 Years?? Usually once friendzoned always friendzoned..... especially if it has remained platonic that long, you may have even been brotherZoned.

I don't care what we call it, more important is remaining in each other's lives. I wouldn't really say I'm in the 'brother zone' considering I just told her I'm only physically a guy (pretty much), so perhaps I was there but if so that's bound to change by this point. Truth is I've always been in some indescribable zone of my own. She pushes my boundaries as hard as she can, lives to see me squirm :jester: ... and that's OK!

Yeah, if I'm honest this is something of a 'chosen family' thing. I'm at home when she's around & it's that simple.

I can understand that. As a concept. And as something which I hope to achieve.

I've never felt "home" with anybody----I've felt good about people; but a certain detachment interferes with me having all-encompassing intimate feelings for somebody (I don't necessarily mean "sex" when I speak of "intimate.")

I've had lots of sex, and felt emotionally for the people I've had sex with....but never that feeling of "love" which you might be feeling....of feeling "at home."

My best friend is not texting me anymore ever since she re-joined uni.

Sigh

I don't really care about texts unless they do something for her. I don't know all the details of what happened to her lately & even though she's pretty clear on what's gone on with me, More important than me knowing everything is making things right in person.

I sense she feels much the same. I want to show her how deep this really goes & that takes time. Should I just keep reminding her we can talk confidentially?

I'll try & do that in person but saying so much in a text seems strange. I will if I have to. :oops:

I told you, not-brotherzoned. Her parents were divorced and she said that she loved me (or like, I don't remember well but I think love) but true love can only happen inside a family. She was very sad that she had no brother she could seduce but told me she was gonna try with her cousin at the first chance. I think she told me that one time she kissed him while he was sleeping.
