My Situation - any thoughts or ideas

[XYZ]

Sorry if I'm being thick and I want to follow the tough to hear advice.

What I'm doing now: GALing, not initiating contact, no ILY, being happy and nice around her, all that. All the while playing with kids a ton, busting my rear around house, etc.

I'm NOT pursuing in any way.

However, I have said to her (and she to me), that we'd be friends. And it has come up several times. I think, in fact, that it makes this easier for her since she can visualize it.

My question is: Should I blatantly come out and say "I will not be your friend" or should I just go along as is.
