I'm gonna refer to my roommate as my friend because we're no longer roommates. She's in the UK now. I video called her this morning. She showed me her new house and thanked me for secretly packing one of my shirts in her luggage. It was the same shirt she slept in when I was away and she was alone in our apartment. Based on the strong reactions I received in my original post, I decided to tell my friend that I feel like the biggest idiot for letting her slip through my fingers and I regret not making one single move when she gave me so many chances.
At some point she had to tell me to take a breath because I couldn't stop talking about all the times I thought about telling her how hot she was. I had my own list this time. A list of random moments when I almost shared my feelings with her. She asked if I was still a virgin, which caught me off guard, not gonna lie. I awkwardly said yes. My friend said she had a feeling that was the case and asked me more questions to establish how experienced or inexperienced I was when it came to the opposite sex. I answered honestly, which was embarrassing because I've never been in a relationship and I've done nothing more than kiss a few girls in the past.
My friend said "hear me out" and suggested that we pretend to be roommates during our video call. Then she said I should forget about the missed opportunities and focus on the fact that she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. I had to imagine that we were still sharing an apartment, she never moved out, and we were both about to make the first move. I'm not gonna go into too much detail, but for the first time ever we were very clear about what we wanted to do each other. The things she said to me gave me a boner. She actually convinced me to show it to her.
More might have happened, but a random bug flew past her and she freaked out. It was hilarious. Anyway, that is my update. It's not the biggest success story, but it's something. I don't know what any of this means for my friend and I, but it's been an interesting journey so far and I hope it continues.
Tl:dr I was blind to the signs that my roommate was attracted to me, and when I finally found out what I've been missing out on, it was too late to do anything about it because my now ex roommate has moved overseas. But, as per my update, we're now having sexy video calls, so there's that.
