<human>: 2 years as college friends, progressively got more closer as friends, then about 3 months ago I tried to kiss her, which to both of us felt wrong.

Fast forward to 2 days ago, I told her I couldn't stand being her friend and still wanting to be more than that, so that I would need to be away and asked her to stop talking to me. I felt that way because I know I would try to hit on her again if I stayed close; the reality is that I don't want to be away, I want to stay at her side no matter what, but it's so painful right now that I acted on my feels that second, and left her.

The next morning I felt like utter s*** and thought I made a serious mistake, that i should have stayed at her side and stuff, but I realized it's not fair to her if I pretended to be her friend when I wanted more.

She cried profusely and told me I was to only one that never left her and that she would have liked to be able to help me more when we worked and did stuff together. Needless to say, I felt horribly.

Right now It's taking all my willpower to stop from logging on Facebook and apologizing.

I need serious advice on what to do if I want her to:

1- Reconsider our relationship and give me a chance

2- If 1) Does not succeed, how to stop the hurt and stay by her side

Please reddit, although this is a throwaway, it is also my first post ever, I need your help on this one. Thank You.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
