24M and 24W had a failed "talking stage" and havn't had a real conversation since then what should I do?
this is my first time posting on this community so if I am missing any requirement let me know
me and her was having a good blast of conversations and we know each other from uni. we weren't talking to each other until last month of school eventually we started talking each other through social media and after like 4 week we went for a movie "date" one on one and I thought we had genuinely connection (was texting everyday) then I realized I had feeling for her then one time she show me her grad pictures and I told her she looks pretty after that she was never the same after that (never really had any real conversation)
fast forward I asked her why aren't she ready for relationship and she still miss her ex (including story posts of her ex with her still being on her social media and follow each other), and yes she still miss her ex but at the end of the day I still want to be friend with her since I feel like we had good connection overall and a good person to spoke to
I genuinely miss her with just being a friend and we still chat just never the same since then (last conversation was about her relationship with her ex and I started it)
the question: what are the suggestion of fixing our friendship with her? (Not trying to become her bf)
TL;DR I am trying to be friend with this person and no longer wanting to date her after an failed talking stage because she still want her ex. I don't know the right way to approach it or if I even should and let it be in the past and move on.
