Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Made a friend roughly 6 years ago and we hung out all the time. At one point, about 3 years ago, I brought up the idea of us dating. She turned me down politely because she just entered a new relationship. Things continued on as normal.

Now, 3 years after, we’ve drifted a part a bit.
We only really each other up maybe once a month and hang out even less than that. Both of us are in relationships with other people.

A few of weeks ago, we finally ended up meeting up and at the end of our hang out, she “confessed” that she has a crush on me and wants to date me. This completely blindsided me as we had been drifting apart and there was no indication of romantic feelings.

I basically let her down friend-zone style as nicely as I could, and reminded her that we’re both dating other people. Night ended on a weird note.

Ever since then, she has texted me consistently asking what I’m up to or to hang out. I’m very busy so I have to keep declining. Then on Valentine’s Day I receive a not-so-cheap gift from her, and she texts me again that same night asking to hang out... on Valentine’s Day... while neither of us are single.

Then a few nights later she tells me again that she has feelings for me and wants to date me. I basically repeat what I said before.

Then *again*, the other night, she asks me how i feel and wants to know if I’ll date her. At this point I’m irritated and tell her that I don’t know what else to say- I’m in a happy relationship and I don’t want to date her. She responds with a very lengthy text explaining her feelings for me **again** and just wants to know if there’s a future for us.

I didn’t respond, and haven’t responded to her texts since. I’ve been ignoring her on every form of social media as well. I feel awful about basically ghosting a long-time friend but I felt like I was speaking with a broken record.

TL;DR: long-time friend continuously asks me to date her despite both us of being in relationships. I turn her down each time but she doesn’t stop asking, so I completely cut her off.

AITA?
