Hey all,
So as the title clearly states. I've been thinking of contacting an old friend of mine of 6 or so years that I used to talk to and hangout pretty often with. It wasn't until last year I began to develop feelings for her as my perspective changes on our relationship as friends. I wrote a thread about this last year and what happened was that I ended up cutting her off in order to maintain my sanity. She couldn't reciprocate a sexual and emotional relationship and I decided to not speak with here there after. It's been a year now and I've been tossing the idea of reaching out to her due to how I feel now.
How do I feel now? Well a bit guilty because not only did I loose a good friend but I was selfish in that I was only concerned about my feelings and not hers. (she got a divorce and may have been a bit crazy in the head about it). Since this happened we've maintained our friendship through Instagram and Facebook. We used to ride bikes heavily together and that was one thing that we enjoyed along with other things like music, walks and the like. I liked her new bike photo on her Instagram last month and she liked my photo the other day of my Yoga pose that she saw on my Facebook.
Long story short I was thinking of reaching out in several was but don't know which is best to my benefit. Facebook Message, Text, Call, Email (Not sure I have her email). I was going to say something along these lines but can always use some input...
It may have seemed like I've disappeared but I didn't mean for it. But looking back, it bothered me that I couldn't be with you the way I wanted. I can say for sure that I was selfish and didn't take much of your feelings into consideration. Anyways if you understand my perspective maybe we can hang out sometime soon. Because I do value your friendship. Hope all is well.
Not sure if this is the proper way to go about this or just leave it to bury. It's been over my head lately and my guts telling me I should reach back for closure.
