Friendzoned after starting talking stage
I (M20) got with this girl at my college (F20) after she had just gotten out of a relationship. Supposedly she had been giving me hints about her wanting me for about a month. I have been plotting on her for months. She is a great person and I’ve wanted this for a while. However, I was always respectful of her relationship and she was the one who made the first move. We got together at school and then went home for the semester. 2 weeks later she comes and stays at my house and we have sex multiple times, and start talking about a plan to eventually become serious. It seems that the feelings are the same and that we’re both on the same page with being serious. I had real feelings for her and saw something serious with her. She goes home for the summer and we start talking and FaceTiming regularly for about a month. All of a sudden she’s dry out of no where and then boom I get the friendzone text. Turns out she never saw me as more than a friend, but went along with everything because she was overwhelmed(from just getting out of a relationship) and wanted to protect my feelings. She still really values me as a person and as a good friend but not more than that. Here’s the problem: we are both on the same sports team in college and do the same events, so I want to avoid things becoming awkward and still be friends with her. But, I am deeply hurt by what happened and it’s gonna take a while until I can be friends with her because I still have feelings for her. How do I go about this?
