There was a girl, who never had a bf before. When one day, a guy she knew well proposed to her to be his gf, she smiled and gladly accepted him.
But day by day, she began to feel a little stressed and worried. The guy had been good to her, but strangely she can't make herself commit to loving the guy. She felt bad in her heart. Alas, when she could hold no more, she brought the guy out, and asked for a break-up.
The guy was shocked. He tried his very best to salvage the relationship. He tried to console the girl that things can be worked out. But the girl replied with red watery eyes, that she felt it was unfair for him, and it made her felt guilty and heavy.
Finally, when the last shimmer of hope was gone, both of them parted hands, with a promise, to remain as friends.
Yet day by day, the guy thought of the girl, wondering secretly, if there'd ever be a miracle. But he knew that, it'd be up to the girl.
Qn : If you were the guy, what would you do?
She never had a bf before - it is virtually impossible for her to know what she actually wants unless she has gone through relationship phrases. You know it deep within you that 99.99% nobody could last their first relation to the end of time - you must realise that your arrival in her life is not just because YOU wanted to be together - rather you came into her life - taught her the meaning of love and what its actually is - that's the most important thing.

She learned, she grew - you must and should be happy for her because she grow along with you until when its time to move on. You shouldn't hold yourself back either.
She ask for a break - because in the first place love doesn't really took place - it was nutured, or at the very least she did tried on her part, found that she couldn't because it din't last. To be fair for you, she spoke with frank honesty and the both of you renewed the promise of friendships again.
Think about this - if you think love exist in her right in the beginning - at least in unseen feeling's quantity, she could be the one expressing herself instead of you being her good friends first - I assume that you both knew each other for a period of time already.
She wanted to try for a relation.
Love can be nutured, but it cannot be delivered forcefully. She couldn't feel the same way you are feeling. Even as a good friends, empathy tells her she is being unfair to you because she don't feel the same deep way as you do.

You have to move on, because she did moved on. What this relation taught her is alot - the lessons and experience, therefore is must be the same to you.

P.S: Not being able to be together only meant one thing - both of you can't spend the rest of your life together *BECAUSE* this special someone belongs to a future person, and he/she will be very much better than him/her position and status to do that.
