it just kind of bums me out because i know that we can be intimate we've been intimate before and i know that they see it one way and i see it the other even though i know nothing will come out of it. it just makes me kinda sad and then i feel like a bad friend for complicating this wonderful friendship i have with this person

In no way are you a bad friend for feeling this way, I’ve been on this side in a situation like this before, friend. I can’t speak entirely for this friend of yours, but I can say that platonic love is just as good as romantic love, and it can be equally as frustrating for them, in the sense that they just might not feel the same way. But dealing with something this tricky will take time, and it’s of utmost importance that you both accept each other for who you friends are and what you are and aren’t comfortable with.
Being friends with somebody is a lot more powerful than people make it out to be, my friend. It does take some commitment, and honestly my best advice would just be to take it day by day, to let your friendship grow in a healthy way.
I’d also advise you do some research on the term aromate :3, it’s like a romantic parter but without the romance, and has a bit more spark to it rather than best friend.
Let me know if there’s anything else we can help with, friend <3 Also if the other mods have anything to point out, feel free.
