I failed... I was trying to edit the title of my first post, but... this is what I was originally asking for: When I was 19 years old, I met this girl at work. At the time, the girl I was dating and I were on a break, and so this girl and I started hanging out. Things were going great, but you know I didn't think she was into me at all at the time because she was 24 and I was 19;surely, she was too cool for me. So, my ex got in touch with me, and one night Sarah(that's what we'll call the 24 year old) saw me with my ex, and it was two years before I heard anything from Sarah again. Now, I was 21 and Sarah still crossed my mind from time to time. So, I messaged her on Facebook, and we ended up hanging out and went out dancing at a bar downtown. Nothing came out of that, and it was another 2 years until I heard from her again. I was 23 then, and had mostly forgotten about her; except for the passing thoughts, you know? She messages me this time, and asks me to be her date to a Mardi Gras ball. I accept because it takes courage to ask someone to be a date, and because I had never been to a ball before and wanted the experience. This time, she gets intoxicated and she loses her phone and she goes to find it, and her friend ends up taking her home. I didn't hear from her for a year after this. A year later, I message her and we end up going to a bar to see Macaulay Culkin. We went home after that, and stayed up all night talking at her house like we used to. It was awesome I thought. Shortly after that I met a girl who I thought was the one(we'll call her Darla), and we ended up living together for a year. It was the most shitty relationship I'd ever been in. I ended up taking a job in Tampa, and got me out of the shitty situation I was in. I am also with my family now. A few days before christmas, Sarah messages me out of the blue. She tells me she saw me in her dream, and says she miss me and loves me(we've never said this before). We chatted for a bit, and brought my feelings for her back up. I got pretty drunk that night(not because of her, but because I couldn't really handle the feelings from my ex), and I ended up confessing that I have feelings for her. I went back to my hometown a couple weeks after that because I missed my friends, and I still had some things I had to take care of. Its new years day when I make it back, and we hang out later that evening. I was so nervous, and I didn't know why. I've spent so much time with her over the years. She's a very chill person, and I've never felt that there was pressure before; but this time just felt different. And it was. I went to her house, and we had a few drinks and got to talking. She's just as incredible as I remembered her being. I went home, and we hanged out again Sunday evening. We listened to my Zeppelin vinyl, and this time we talked about our pasts(something we'd never done before). We talked about everything. It's a side of her(and a side of me) I'd never seen. I felt like I could be vulnerable with her and not be reject, and I was right. We spent sometime together the next evening. The tuesday afternoon I came over for coffee, and this is the last day I spent in my hometown. So, I go back to Tampa, and I'm thinking about her like crazy now. I turned 26 a few days after getting back, and here we are talking everyday. We talk about going places and seeing things, and she's going with me to my best friends wedding next month. We've never kept in touch this long, or talked about doing things together like this in the future. Am I overthinking it, or is this turning into a relationship? Or did I get friend zoned? Sincerely, Confused
