>>3776980If she didn't liked you at all she wouldn't spend time with you.
>Even if she were to be interested in a relationship, which I doubt because she called me a buddy from the start.Most girls don't tell you (their signs are non-verbal). Men are expected to do the work. Sad but true. So if you like her, just try to get closer and closer and see how it works, and if it doesn't, whatever. Take it in a chill way.
>I know I would just obsess over her and shit, and I'm too selfish to not have art as my main priority. So what, you'll never date anyone?
You don't have to pick one thing of both and obsess over it, trust me, it did me really bad. You have to learn not to be needy and obsessed. It's hard but try. Cause you can't stay stuck in this mindset forever. Do you think a few hours of seeing someone in a dating mindset will totally cripple your art? If you're gonna make it, you're gonna make it either way, drawing 6 or 9 hours. Just maybe a tiny bit slower.
>I know what I want and what is probably best for me and my friendship with her, but my feelings won't listen. You have feelings and you can't ignore them. Not healthy. At least try. It doesn't mean marriage comitment. Just try and don't sweat it and don't be like omggg nooo sorry sorry if it doesn't work. Take it with a smile and if it fails just find someone else later.
I may be totally wrong but it's what I'd say about it, your call. But I think if you stya in this state of mind you'll end up being sad in a way. Your feelings are here for a reason so deal with them one way or another. But don't put yourself under too much pressure. Just feel that shit, examine it, and think about you can do.
