| what do i do? |
| I've met this girl recently and we became good friends really quickly, and i find myself attracted to her. I've told her how i feel, yet she doesn't recipricate in the same way, but still wants to "just be friends." This is ok by me, however, i get the feeling that she flirts with me still sometimes, even though she's the one that suggested just being friends. What can i do about this?

Were I to decry the most unfair thing about the "fairer sex" it would be just that: that they ask us to be "just friends" and seem to fail to understand why this would bother us so greatly.
The short, simple, and often impossibly difficult answer would be for you to leave or just ignore her. But I get the impression you would rather not do that.
So, what is your alternative? I suppose I should paraphrase what I said to a previous caller, "What is it worth to you?"
If it really does bother you, you are going to have to tell her that. When you think she is flirting with you, stop her and ask, "Are you flirting with me?"
Possibly, she is, just not seriously. Being her "guy friend" she may consider you fair game and a safe target to try out her flirting skills on, without understanding that it really bothers you. Then again, she may measure her success by how much the flirtation upsets you. Possibly, she just does not realize what she is doing would be considered by you to be flirtatious. I do not know what sort of girl she is.
If you would like it to stop (and I would like you to think seriously about whether this is really what you want), then you are going to have to ask her to stop. If she refuses, and it still bothers you, then you are going to have to come to the conclusion that she really does not care about your feelings, so you would be all the more better off ignoring her and looking for someone new.
