When the Friend Zone Gets Complicated

A listener wrote in with one of the most relatable situations we've heard — she caught feelings for her guy friend, told him, and he said he wasn't ready... but maybe in the future. Now she's stuck between protecting her heart and not wanting to lose one of the most important people in her life.

This week, we're getting into all of it — the power shift that happens the moment feelings are out in the open, why "maybe" can be more confusing than a flat-out no, and what it actually looks like to set a boundary when you don't want to. We also get into our own story, because yeah, we've been on both sides of this.

If you've ever liked your friend and didn't know what to do next — this one's for you.
