Hi Felix!

It’s likely she keeps rejecting boys because she hasn’t found any that she connects with in that way, and it’s possible she’s the type of girl who doesn’t mind being single, so she will stay single until she finds that connection. If she doesn’t feel that connection with you after being such close friends already, I would not count on it ever happening.

Do you think it’s possible that you keep feeling like she wants to get your attention because that’s what you are hoping for? It would make you feel good if that were true? It seems to me, though, if she wanted your attention, she would just message you because you haven’t blocked her or asked for time apart yet, right?

I think the best way for you to get over this is to look at the situation exactly as it is without reading into anything. If you are close friends and she isn’t making any effort to talk to you other than liking or commenting on social media (which typically doesn’t mean anything more than friendship to most people), it’s likely she isn’t interested in anything more with you and I wouldn’t assume or wonder if there’s more at this point, given her behavior. If she’s not interested as it is, you not looking at her stuff on social media won’t likely decrease your chances of her being interested, and you looking at her stuff won’t increase it either because it would’ve worked by now if that were the case. You’ve been active in her life for a long time and she still isn’t interested…. so I would quit worrying about what will or won’t affect her interest in you and just focusing on becoming your best self for you.

If, in the future, when you are both older and she is out of high school, you two become close again and she seems more interested and ready to date, then I think it would okay to tell her how you feel, but as for right now, I would just try to move on, and, who knows, maybe you will attract someone you like even better and will forget all about her.
