This girl whom I like (and who knows I like her) recently told me she's asking out someone else, which obviously made me feel bad. A day later, I told her that I can't be friends with her any more, because I can't get over my fixation with her, and would only make it worse by continuing to be friends with her. However, she said that I'm possibly her best friend she has right now, and started crying. She said that the "ball's in my court" and that I should think it over. I don't know what to do.

Sounds like a manipulative person who just wants attention from multiple guys. I mean, why would you tell someone who likes you you're thinking about asking another person out? Seems like they just want a reaction out of you for attention honestly and started crying to guilt trip you into not leaving her so she can get more attention out of you. I think you were right by cutting contact, she seems bad. Good luck.

I'm not sure how to advise you here. I'd imagine a situation like yours must be very uncomfortable, giving your feelings for this person.

Sadly, I think being just a friend would be hard due to you wanting more from this association. I'm not sure if she is doing this to make you jealous, but you might be best moving on. It will carry on eating away at you should you continue to see her and I personally would feel awkward seeing a guy hang out with a lady I have feelings for.

Alright, I'm going to tell her that I need a break from our friendship. That way, if I find it hard without her, I can try to reconnect. I hope, however, that I can cut her off and move on from this situation.

I really want a caring girlfriend too. Life sucks without anyone to love. But are people today worth the bother? We'll see.

It's over. I told her I'm putting our friendship on an indefinite hold.

Good for you. The last thing you need in your life is overly-emotional manipulative people. I swear they prey on people with Aspergers because they know some of us are very lonely and want friends, but they'll use it to get what they want: attention.

She might not be trying to manipulate you, it could be she just unfortunately had a crush on someone else and doesn't want to lose a good friend over it. If you still want to be friends with her you could just take a break until you like someone else/get over her.

That happened to me once before, and I simply couldn't continue as "just friends". We remained Facebook "friends" but we no longer have a social relationship.
