Obligatory story from a few years ago, but I figured that you guys would appreciate it. Just to give you all some background context on this. So [m]yself and family [f]riend. Let’s call her Emily, we grew up together from really early teenage years. As we were growing up, I would have considered her her my best friend for a good while.
Her mum used to tease her quite frequently about me being her boyfriend because of how often we used to hang out, and while I’ve always found her really attractive we were two very different people, we just wasn’t eachothers ‘types” so I never thought to even try/ just didn’t cross my mind.
As the years went past we did grow apart after moving to separate towns but still made an effort to keep in contact & meet up for lunches or go shopping that kinda thing, each time we met seemed to get further apart from the last until eventually we had definitely drifted apart as “best friends”
