<human>: I have been friends with this girl for the past 9 years. We've always been really good friends and recently it's turned into something a little more. A few weeks ago, we were drinking together and it turned into making out. She confessed that she liked me and I told her that I liked her. Fast forward a couple weeks later and I asked her out on a real date. She's agreed, but keeps telling me that her week's too busy and we'll have to postpone. That would be completely understandable, but she keeps posting stuff about her doing these last minute plans with other people. On top of that, it's me initiating conversation every time now. I'm afraid to ask about the date again because I don't want to come off as clingy. My biggest concern about this is that she's not interested anymore and I ruined a great friendship by trying to date her. Do I bring the date up again or should I apologize for making the friendship weird and tell her that I value being her friend over a romantic relationship? I would absolutely like to date her, but I don't want to lose her entirely if she's not interested.
