Drake has reportedly not been able to tell his on-and-off girlfriend that he is now only interested in being friends with her, because Rihanna has been ignoring his phone calls, avoiding to hear it.

While the Canadian rapper thinks that he and Rih would be better off as friends, the Barbadian singer seems like she is not ready to accept the truth. "I'm not saying it's a wrap, but it's getting there," a source said. "In all honesty, he would much rather be her friend."

"He loves her too much to get into something that's not going to work," the source continued. "He doesn't want one of them to get hurt in the end so he really just wants to be her friend and that's where things are now."

According to the source, the Young Money rapper has been feeling this way for quite a while, however he has not gotten the chance to let Rihanna know, mainly because the "Diamonds" hitmaker has been completely avoiding him.

"It's been happening for the past few weeks but Rihanna's been avoiding him because she knows it's coming," the source added. "She's not stupid. She's not. But stubborn, yes! The thing with her is that she likes the back-and-forth and the mistakes and the arguments that she and Drake have for love. He chalks it up to the fact that she's been in very immature relationships with very young men and doesn't know that when you're in love, there are no arguments."

Drake plans to tell Rihanna how he truly feels "whenever she picks up the phone and stop bullsh*tting." "He's not the dude who's going to chase a girl around and play mind games and shit like that. This isn't high school," the source claimed. "He thinks she's wonderful, accomplished and an all around sex symbol and he will never not think that. It's just that he realizes that a friendship would be more appropriate for them."
