Alright guys. I come to you with a serious question. Let me set up with some backstory. I went to high school with this girl. I had a huge crush on her and she knew it. Of course it goes without saying that I was in the friend zone. I got over it. We have extremely limited contact these days. Today I hear from her out of the blue. Asks me if I want to hang out.

The last time she called me she needed a job. Which I offered to help her with. I set her up at my place of business to have an interview. She knocked it out of the park. I told her that we were prepared to offer her a spot. She declined it. Since then I haven't really heard from her. I meet up with her at a coffee shop. We sit down. Have our usual bullshit small talk. Then she brings up her boyfriend. Of course. She proceeds to tell me all the problems she dealing with in relation to him and I sit back quietly and sip my coffee listening only slightly. When she stops talking I give her my opinion and she starts crying. Jesus fuck. I let her know the truth in that he doesn't value her and blah blah blah. You guys know the narrative. She keeps crying so I suggest we go somewhere else because fuck being in public with a crying girl that isn't my girlfriend nor is she my problem.

So after we leave we go to her place. Don't really talk much there. She gets high and tells me that I'm her "best friend." I don't get pissed off. I just brush it off. Whatever. I already knew that I had a vagina in her mind anyway. My question to you is how do I tell this girl that I don't want to be her emotional fucking tampon any longer?
