How I Learned to Be Just Friends With Her (Without the Drama)

You ever try to be friends with a girl and suddenly feel like you’re walking through a minefield? Yeah, me too. Turns out, it’s not rocket science—just treat her like any other friend, minus the weird flirting. We bonded over our love for indie films and late-night tacos, not because I tried to impress her with cheesy compliments. I learned to keep it real: talk about life, share embarrassing stories, and listen when she needs to vent. The trick? Keep it platonic unless you both want more. I made sure to text her about group hangouts, not candlelit dinners. If she invited me to something, I’d show up (unless I really couldn’t, then I’d just be honest). It’s wild how much stronger a friendship gets when you’re not secretly hoping for a rom-com ending.
