I dated this girl back in 8th grade and my freshman year of high school. I had strong feelings for her but I didn't know what the feelings were because I was young and figured it was nothing. We broke up and went our own ways. Years have come and gone and every now and again we would talk but never anything serious. I am now 24 and I've had girlfriends but she always comes to mind. I'm in love with her and haven't felt this way about anyone.
I'm not an open person about feelings but I just opened up and told her how I felt. I wrote her a long e-mail trying to put years worth of feelings into words. I could never get the chance to tell her in person because we don't see each other. I wasn't expecting anything from it, just needed her to know how I felt. Later on in the day she answered and said she couldn't do anything because she's in a relationship. I understood and was just happy knowing that she knows how I feel about her.
Later that night she text me which was surprising because I figured she would've deleted my number years ago and after a few minutes, she calls me. Toward the end of the conversation I told her that I appreciate her answering my message because I thought she would just ignore it. She then said that she read every word and doesn't understand how after so many years, I feel the way that I do. She then went on and said that she has her reasons to ignore me though. I asked why and she said that the message I sent, texting, and talking on the phone with me is bad for her relationship and that she doesn't want to catch feelings. So I asked if she was then she just said hey I'm going to go, talk to you later. We hung up but I text her a few minutes later with an inside joke and a goodnight and figured that was the end of it. Later on she answered with a goodnight and said that this is the reason why she wants to ignore me because now she's thinking about me.
Now I don't know what to do because this is beyond what I was expecting. There might, MIGHT be a little glimmer of hope there and she might actually have feelings for me judging by the conversation we had.
