Hi there! Pam here...you know, overly talkative girl, Irish Restaurant. wink

Just a quick thought...

The friendship is a necessity. I know it is hard not to have expectations and hopes that it will become something more, but you can't go there. Not yet. If you feel you are giving too much to the friendship, pull back a little. I mean, I have lots of friends that I don't stress over not talking to every day or every other day.

You say you enjoy the friendship....
well, isn't that a good thing???

Don't overthink this or get ahead of yourself.
