This is pretty long, but I would very much appreciate it if someone could help me.
There is this girl who I've had a crush on. At the beginning of eighth grade, we used to be friends, like, we talked to each other often. But lately, things have been really awkward between us, ever since I've made it clear to her that I like her, by sending her valentine cards and such.
What's worse, she started going out with another guy at the middle of the year, and she ended up dating him. I knew I had to give up, but I couldn't stop liking her. Things got even more awkward between us because of that, so even if we saw each other often (I used to look at her a lot...now I don't), we never talked. So I asked one of her mutual friends for help.
Then, the mutual friend explained that I should get over my crush and move on, and that me continuously bugging her about it makes it harder for her, because she doesn't want to be mean to me by telling me that she doesn't like me that much. That's when I stopped liking her, because I figured that I shouldn't really waste my time.
After that, I messaged her on Facebook, saying that I got over my crush on her, and want to be friends with her again. However, she replied that she's not sure about what she feels about being friends with me, since the friendship is pretty much ruined.
A while after that, she dumped her boyfriend.
Her and I became acquaintances later. We were in this school play together, and we sometimes talked to each other like at scene changes and stuff. They weren't really a friendly conversation, though.
Recently, I messaged her on facebook again, saying that we should just forget about everything that happened this year, and start from square one. She didn't read it, but I think she did read the message.
But things are still pretty awkward between us, so it's really hard for me to even say hi to her. How should I deal with the situation, so that we could be friends like before?
