    Being friends is good - what sucks is when your love doesn’t love you back.

    It’s one thing being friends with someone you’ve always only seen as a friend, and very much another to be romantically rejected and proposed to “stay friends”.

      True but it’s still love, or was intended be, just not that kind of love. Did you watch Jessica Jones? Did you not, initially, think there was a love interest thing between her and Trish until the actual relationship came out in dialogue? Because that’s how all our entertainment media traditionally presents love, and that’s a problem. The femiverse vibes of that show spun a bit more reality into that piece.

      So much breaks when things are not reciprocated. It sucks.
