I had a few best male friends that I said flat out after they tried to ask me on a date or be flirty that I wasn’t interested (two were brothers and I practically lived at their house because I was neglected by my family). I was known as a “notorious friend zoner,” for being honest ffs. Some people act like you owe them a chance, too.

Just a heads up though, feelings aren’t easy to get rid of if you see someone all the time and I learned that the hard way by someone carrying a torch for years thinking I’d feel different one day. You might have to end this friendship. Think about it. Just like the comment above, you already fooled around and she’s sending you nudes. If someone else likes you, your best friend will likely fuck that up as well.
