Because her emotions are one-sided?

Some days, he is practically on top of her.

And other days, it seems like he would rather be left alone.

She is never sure which side of him she is going to get.

She is never sure whether she should layer on the charm or give him space.

After all, hes had plenty of chances to ask her out and he hasnt taken any of them.

He hasnt actually admitted to having feelings for her.

She swears that there is something between them, but what if shes been reading the signs all wrong?

Because her emotions are one-sided?

She feels insecure because she is worried about whats been holding him back from asking her out.

Is he interested in someone else?

Would he rather stay single?

Or is there something wrong with her?

Is she good enough to play around with, but not good enough for anything real?

Is she just a way to pass the time until his future fiance comes along?

She feels insecure because he could leave her behind at any time without feeling bad about it.

After all, they arent in an actual relationship.

There isnt anything binding him to her.

He didnt promise her anything.

He doesnt owe her anything.

She feels insecure because she wants to impress him.

She wants him to see her as someone worth his time and attention.

Someone who he would be lucky to call his girlfriend.

She isnt sure if he talks toeveryonethe way that he talks to her.

She isnt sure if she is the rule instead of the exception.

She feels insecure because she isnt sure if this almost relationship is going to stay an almost.

She isnt sure if shes stuck in relationship purgatory.

She feelsinsecurebecause shereallylikes him.

And shereallywants something real with him.

She doesnt want to stay friends.

She wants more than that.

So much more than that.
