So I began living the college life in early September and I have met many new people; more girls than guys though so it's not bad. I don't mind having many lady-friends (I'm a guy so that's a plus I guess). Anyways, I recently met this girl who is very quiet and I took the time to get to know her as a friend. She is an amazing person but she doesn't seem to think the same about herself. The second time we hung out (we both live in the same building on-campus) her roommate was gone for the evening and for some odd reason we told each other some of our deepest secrets. Some of these secrets contained memories, both good and bad, that evoked tears from both of us. That being said, we cried together, we prayed together, and we comforted each other all throughout the night. Anybody who had happened to see us that night would have thought we had known each other since kindergarten. But we only met five nights before 'the night of tears' happened. And when we made eye contact for the first time, we had no idea how much this meeting would change our lives.
Long story short, we are now considered really close friends (to the point where people think we are actually dating but we're not) and she's beginning to see me as a brotherly person and not as a friend. The same is true for me - I'm beginning to see her as a sister. We treat each other very kindly and (this is the first I've experienced this with anyone) we can read each other's emotions very accurately. She is the only person who I can truly be myself around. And I, by the way, consider myself weirder than most because of all my little quirks that normally scare other girls away. And I have told her of all my past girlfriends, just as she has told me about her past relationships. During the weekend we stay up late to talk about our individual family lifestyles, or the latest person to steal our hearts (I told her about the girl in my dream) or just to stay for the night because one of us got locked out of the room.
This is the best non-dating relationship I have ever had in a very long time. My quirks and oddities that define me have, in a sense, attracted (not repelled) her like a magnet to me. I know she has feelings for me, I just don't know how deep they are for me.
I think she loves me as a 'brother', just like how I love her as a 'sister'. We are weird like that. Why? Because that's how I roll.
