Hello, I made a friend recently (I don't make many friends) but now she wants to be in a relationship and I don't know what to do...
I've never been in relationships before. Because of how I am and how I wasn't really able to make friends I didn't really think about it but now that I made a friend they want to be in a relationship as well...
It is not bad that they want to be, and I maybe should have known from the start that that might have been what she wanted, but I just didn't know, she didn't say it but that doesn't mean she was being dishonest.
I have some difficulties in communicating and functioning like other people, so I don't know many people, and I don't really know what to do in relationships. I told her this, but she said that it's just about being yourself so I don't know...
Obviously I'm surprised she wanted to be in a relationship with me because of my difficulties but I don't want her to be upset or not be able to see her anymore...
Is a relationship that much different from a friendship? Does it mean starting a family with someone? I don't know if I could do that, but I might find a relationship with her ok. Maybe she would still just want to be friends? From what she described, a relationship would be the same thing as what we have, so I might like it with her.
I guess it means she would be my girlfriend instead of just my friend but that might not be that big of a deal...
tl;dr: my friend wants to be in a relationship instead, and I might be ok with that, but I have no experience in relationships and wouldn't know what to do unless the situation with us remains the same, but she says I wouldn't have to do anything different
