<human>: Just to set the tone, I am a [23M] (I consider myself smart, deep and a bit too serious) with minimal relationship experience and over time I have learned that in terms of a relationship partner I am really quite picky (crushes are very rare and have only had a handful). I am naturally an introvert but unfortunately the world we live in is kind of tuned to extroversion so I have learned how to be sociable. With this I have become good at making friends, including with girls and not pursuing anything further. Then one day at school I met a [19F] Siren; beautiful, smart, funny and above actually has some depth to her personality. Like all sailers of the sea I surveyed the situation and learned she has a boyfriend and with this new information I tried to keep some distance so I don't get dragged into the depths. Unfortunately circumstances did not go as planned and we ended up repeatedly unintentionally encountering each other and we have formed a very weird relationship which I liken to the waves of the sea where there are many high and low points. I am now even more afraid to distance myself as I would not only loose a close friend but I feel like I would loose a bit of my humanity (It's been a very long time since I have had romantic feelings for someone). Any advice for me? I feel like I am going to drown if I don't do anything...

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Felt I was lost at sea, thought I found refuge in someone. This person is my equivalent to a siren. Now I'm drowning.
