Maybe it'll be one of those friendships where you re-adjust your expectations and just don't seek her for RL stuff anymore. Sometimes when space opens, it gets filled by something new--it's like a Universal law or something. I'm not sure that I'm making myself clear. But for instance when I 'moved' a close friend off the list of few people with whom I could talk about really deep things (and that move wasn't easy or quick at all, mind), a couple of years later I found that I'd made another very important friendship. And I'm not 20 anymore so I don't form life-long friendships left, right and centre, and that friendship is of that kind--I do believe it was because I'd had to let go of that other friend.

At any rate, I'm sure this would find a way to arrange itself--when both of the people feel awkward, things...sort themselves out somehow. It might not be in the best way possible, but you can't force yourself, right?
