<human>: I have a very good friend that has recently separated from her SO. She and I have begun talking again but prior to doing so, a mutual friend mentioned to her that I have "feelings" for her.

We talked for about a week and a half straight and then she texted me and asked me about it. I told her it was true. She said she would talk to me the next day and I didn't hear from her for 4 days. I caved and texted her asking why she had been avoiding me, and she said that she didn't know how to answer the question. I told her to forget about it and we should move on with our friendship.

I really love having this girl as a friend, but I'd love to try and see how this develops. I don't want to lose her, but I don't want to wander through life wondering "what if".

I guess what I'm asking is, should I see how it pans out... maybe she'll see how much she means to me, or should I ask her why she has a problem with my feelings and ultimately risk her running again?

So confused...

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: My female friend knows I have feelings for her. She asked and I admitted it and she didn't return texts for days. Do I investigate further or wait and see what happens to relationship?
