Your a great person and a good friend and I'm glad I can still call you a friend after all these years. I love the times we can catch up even though they aren't often and for much of the rest of the times we can make emailing fun. There is a 'but' though - you can be so variable both face to face and in email - you can run so very hot and then cold. It can almost be like communicating with two different people. For a number of logistical reasons we never dated (who knows it might still happen but for now distance and our lives make that unlikely) but I could imagine with your propensity for this hot/cold behavior that dating you could be an incredibly wonderful but very stressful experience! Still I loves you, platonically - mostly :-0, and after all this time I'm slowly beginning to understand you.

Perhaps the running hot and cold is a reaction to circumstance or actions taken. Nether-less, nothing truly worthwhile comes easy. It's in the moments of struggle, further stripped of our masks that we start to really live and love.

@Interesting - Really agree with the 2nd sentence of your post. As to the 1st part I worry from time to time that its things I have said or possibly something that I havent said. Its an unconventional friendship and that one of the things that makes it interesting. I have no doubt the friendship is strongly recriprocated. It might just boil down to something as simple as different perspectives or a busy/hectic lifestyle and the way she and I set our day to day priorities and I think thats it but we all have our strange insecurities! Hmmm. There are things I'd like to know but cant ask - of course!

I'm not sure why you can't ask, as maybe that would help you to get some answers. It's obvious from your original post that you have love for this person (even if it's platonic), and it sounds like you suspect that they have feelings for you. In my experience hot and cold behaviour is usually caused by some kind of fear. You mention distance, so perhaps this person wants to put their heart on the line, but fears getting hurt(?).
