Is it normal i'm so confused if she actually loved me ?

24f and here's my situation regarding a friend.

I felt she never appreciated how good I was to her or how I genuinely actually loved her. She knew I was always there for her. I felt like I was always in her background and an "option" since she didn't make me priority.

With having said that, we were close physically as friends, hug all the time & she used to often say she loves me heaps. She'd said sweet things that really melted me like how when we reconnected she would say " I'm so lucky to have you back in my life" and "I literally had tears in my eyes when you text me"
She once said she dreamt of me 2 weeks prior to me texting her and in the dream we told each other we were sorry, missed each other and hugged. She said it's kinda like hug,kiss and makeup.
Another time she said we had a connection on the beach that day (years ago) and it was intense like we interconnected. "Sounds kinda like romance " she had said.
Given all this and the fact I was making most the effort in the friendship I felt confused whether or not she actually genuinely loved me .
I even fell for her and told her this and she said that day on the beach we had a "spiritual connection"
I even told her it really hurt how she didn't make much effort in the friendship because to me friendship is a 2 way street. She didn't even empathize or apologize for her lack of effort or simply the way I felt. No compromise offered either, she just flicked it off as if I was just another "friend" and no one meaningful saying she's bad at keeping in touch with people and I'm not the only one who gets that end of the stick"

  • Sounds like she was leading you on, like she wanted you to be attached to her but she didn't care about you. Better to leave her in the past

    • Why would she want this if I meant nothing?

      • some people want control, for you to think of them all the time and depend on them, when they lose control they pretend to be interested in you (to reel you back in) It's your life and ultimately I don't know either of you but if what you've written is completely true, I think you should leave her in the past and move on

        • That's such a selfish thing to do to someone.
          No words can fathom how much she hurt me

    • Well we met half way from our cities. We both saved to meet up and spend the day together. At first she wanted to bring her low life of a bf but I said that's not fair at all since I hardly got to see her and cant she manage one day by herself (Little did she know I was planning on telling her). I did text her prior to meeting up saying there's something I need to tell you that I should have told you a long time ago.
      Anyhow, after I confessed my feelings in person, she said she can't give me what I want,etc but said she still wants to be friends.

      Whatever her definition of a friendship means is certainly not what I was wanting because at the end of the day I actually wanted her in my life! It wasn't about knowing that we were Friends but about having her actually part of my life.

      I used to think about her every fucking day and sometimes I wouldn't hear from her in months!

      Obviously heart broken I ended the friendship. 5 months later I messaged her a heartfelt message on Facebook explaining how I felt for all these years thoroughly. I didn't feel she cared much to change or understand me. I thought she would have at least been appreciative of how much I genuinely loved her.

      She knew I didn't want to be Friends but I kept it nice and warm and said my goodbyes then blocked her.

        Sounds like she only wanted to be platonic friends, and you wanted to be together as a couple romantically. It's very sad, and I'm sorry you had this experience.

        Hopefully, in the future you will be better able to tell when you are being friend-zoned. I don't usually like to use the friend zone talk, because for the most part it's okay for me to be just friends with a person of the opposite sex. However, I feel like this was really hard on you, and maybe you were holding out for more of a romantic relationship or at least a platonic friendship that was much more reciprocal.

        Kudos to you for blocking her and moving on with your life!

        • It was very tough indeed and my first heart break.

          I have never felt so much pain before and this was definitely the worst experience I have had so far :/

            Sorry I was gonna write to you, but I didnt have enough time

            I agree with Rose, you cant really force anyone to feel what you may be feeling.

            Its sad, because you may have wanted something special from that. I dont know if you wanted a romantic like relationship? Or just a really close friendship?

            You can always try though to develop a closer friendship with that person if you wanted. Its not always hopeless.

            But the decision is up to you. I personally dont think you needed to end the friendship.

            She still wanted to be friends!

          • I will never understand what that connection was we had that day that felt so intense to her.

            If it was so dam intense I beg to ask why I wasn't worth the effort
