Put sex before friends.

Specific analysis of specific problems. I think you both have problems. But I think you can't give up on her if the other person doesn't go too far. After all, you have been friends for many years, and I believe she still takes your feelings seriously. Because of love, she will inevitably ignore you, that's for sure You should understand and tolerate this. And you say that you are insecure and afraid of being ignored, so you will be more sensitive to such things. You can find other friends or divert your attention and do something else. And I've encountered something like you before, if the other party really doesn't take you seriously. You must turn and leave without a trace of emotion, otherwise you will only be hurt more, especially like a joke.

Prudence, seven years of friendship.
