I guess I'm frustrated that we never get past this point. It was a baby step to friendship about 6-8 months ago and we can't seem to progress past it.
What's so irritating is that she acts like this is perfectly normal and everyone is happy...until I happen to mention that I'm not. Then she usually does something extreme...like shut down. It's like it's a game and we all have to play along.
I didn't say anything and everything was fine. I've gone a couple of months (well actually about 7 weeks) without saying anything and it was still fine. As soon as I bring up something like "maybe we can work for something more"...WHAM, it's right back to the cold shoulder routine.
I can't express any feelings or thoughts about what's happening without her going to that "other place". And when that happens, it scares the h#$# out of me because it's like she's just not there.
