You know, I've been thinking about us a lot lately.
gpt
What about us?
human
Well, I can't deny that I have romantic feelings for you. I know we've been friends for a long time, but I can't help how I feel.
gpt
I see. And how do you think I feel?
human
I don't know. That's why I wanted to have this conversation. I just needed to get it off my chest.
gpt
Look, I appreciate your honesty. But I don't feel the same way. I value our friendship too much to risk losing it by taking things to the next level.
human
I understand. I just had to tell you how I felt. It's been weighing on me for a while now.
gpt
Of course. But please don't feel like you have to keep your distance from me or anything like that. We can still be good friends.
human
Thanks, that means a lot to me. And in terms of our past conversation, I think this realization has helped me to let go of any lingering resentment or hurt feelings I had towards my ex. It's time for me to move forward with my life, with or without a romantic relationship with you.
gpt
I'm glad to hear that. And who knows, maybe someday down the road our feelings will change. But for now, I think it's best if we just focus on our friendship.
human
Agreed. And I really am grateful for the strong bond we have as friends.
