I am 23M and she is 23F. I have been in love with a girl since our first year of B.Tech.
Before I developed feelings for her, we were friends for a short time. During that period, I asked whether she had a boyfriend, and she said no. A few days later, we became very close, and eventually she told me that she was in a relationship.
After finding that out, I decided to move on. However, I also felt that I should be honest about my feelings, so I told her that I liked her.
Her relationship ended about three years ago because her boyfriend was dishonest and irresponsible. Even though they broke up, she still believes in “one man for one life” and admits that she is emotionally attached to her past relationship.
She has told me that I have all the qualities she wants in a life partner. In her own words, she needs someone exactly like me, but not me. She has also told me that she needs me in her life as a friend, not as a boyfriend.
We are from the same caste and have similar family backgrounds. We both received IT job offers. I received offers of 4 LPA, 5 LPA, and 6 LPA, while she received offers of 4.5 LPA, 6 LPA, and 12 LPA. Our parents are government employees. I left my job to prepare for SSC CGL and cleared the prelims in my last attempt but missed the mains cutoff by 8 marks. I will be attempting again. She also left her job and is preparing for UPSC. That decision was her own and not related to me.
She says I am a good friend and nothing more. However, we spend a lot of time together and talk on the phone for at least an hour every day. She shares almost everything about her life with me, and I know most of what is going on in her life. We go out together, and she also spends her own money, so it is not always me paying for everything.
Recently, I asked her whether she is still stuck in her past relationship, and she said yes. I then asked if she would be happy if she eventually married her ex-boyfriend, and she said no.
Now she says that she believes in destiny and that life will take her where it is meant to.
Given everything she has said and done over the years, how would you interpret her feelings toward me? What do you think is the healthiest way for me to handle this situation moving forward?

My question is: She knows how I feel, and I know she cares about me, but she continues to say that she only sees me as a friend. Should I accept that she will never see me as a romantic partner and move on, or is it reasonable to stay close and see whether her feelings change in the future?

I’ve been walking around 7 km every morning regularly as part of my weight loss/fitness routine. Recently, my inner thighs have been rubbing against each other a lot while walking, and it’s causing irritation, burning, and discomfort during and after the walk.

Some days it even becomes hard to continue because the skin feels very irritated.

I’m staying in Hafeezpet and my room doesn’t have a washing machine, so it’s becoming difficult to wash my clothes regularly.

Can anyone suggest a good solution nearby?
Also, if anyone is willing to let me use their washing machine, I’m happy to pay for it.

If there are any affordable laundry services around Hafeezpet, please let me know as well.

I need shoes under 10k for daily walking ,running and gym. That should be more comfort.
