This was a couple days ago, but I only realized where I am today.
We've all been there; we've all gotten friend-zoned. This time was different though; I really, REALLY liked this girl. For the first time in a long time, I actually felt giddy around her. I wasn't depressed and I actually couldn't wait to be around this girl. She's all I could think about for the past two weeks; I can't even focus on work; that's how much I liked her.
She invited me to her apartment and we ordered Chinese food (she paid; she wouldn't let me pay her back no matter how much I insisted). We ate, we did a couple edibles, we put on the Princess Bride. At one point in the night, she told me that she just got out of a serious relationship and she didn't want to lead me anywhere. Whereas I SHOULD'VE said 'we can take things as slow as we needed to' or something along those lines. I actually said "no worries. Tonight we're just two friends hanging out" or something along those lines.
I tried texting her yesterday; she never responded. Summbitch; how could I be so STUPID?
TL;DR: I said I'd rather be friends out of fear because I wanted to respect boundaries; I could've done it differently. Now I'm friend zoned by someone who could've The One.

if shes actually interested you would not be "friend-zoned" over one comment like that, trust me
