Thanks again Adren but...

This is in response to "Now what should do...?". Adren thanks again for your help, but like you said earlier, if she really doesn't have any (romantic) feelings me and never does, then can i really be a good friend to her? I am so in love with her, i think about her all the time, and it gets me down alot. Imagine if she got a boyfriend, that would crush me. Fair enough I should be a good friend for a while, but only in the hope that she will eventually like me. My question is, where do i draw the line? That is, if someone told me she would never feel the same way about me, I would get out now without a second thought; but if someone told me she would like me in 6 months time, i would hang on in there. But since i have no information of this sort, i can't decide whether to be a good friend (and hope she will like me) or try and save myself the potential misery and heartache, and tell her i can't be around her anymore. And if the former, for how long do i stay a good friend before moving on? Sorry for going on, but i really need your help.

Thanks so much xx

sadly i agree man....adren's right....=(..

Sorry, for some reason I wasn't able to view this posting til today.. Okay, so what I would do, which you obviously know, is walk away.. I have become the king of walking away.. know when to fold (poker reference).. your frienship is ruined coz you will never see her as just a friend.. you never really get over your crushes.. you just learn to walk away and not look back, or not let them catch you looking.. and you're right.. you can be there for her, pretending to be a good friend, but once someone else comes into the picture, and he will, you're going to feel like shit and despise him.. and she will introduce you to him as one of her best friends but he will know right away how you feel about her.. I've been there dozens of times, on both ends.. what most guys would do is stick around and torture themselves til they end up hating her for dating other people that will never be good enough for her, in their eyes.. you don't draw the lines they draw themselves.. you can walk away now or walk away then.. if you walk away now she will eventually understand.. if you walk away at the point where you hate her for not dating you she will never forgive you.. either way it's torture but the latter is the least torturous.. out of sight, eventually out of mind.. many guys pursue girls til they wear them down.. this takes years.. those too nice of guys and girls' best friends who are secretly in love with them stick around and never live out their lives coz they hold out for that one chance but she will never be in love with them.. it happens on rare occasions.. find comfort in knowing that you went for it and you told her how you feel.. so you have nothing to regret.. you can't find love somewhere where love does not exist.. so walk away now with dignity and move on.. it'll be hard and you'll feel weak but just keep in mind that she just didn't want you.. good luck.

Adren????

I was realy good friends with her before I started thinking about her in that way, when those feelings developed I kept it quiet and carried on being a good friend. But recently the feelings have grown even stronger and I couldn't keep it inside me, so I told her and she basically said that it was fine with her but she doesn't like me back. Now I'm questioning whether I can carry on being a friend to her, when its like commiting emotional suicide.

I didnt see the previous questions before, but, I meant you shouldn't try to be her friend, and then give up if you find out she'll never be interested in you. I'd say you shouldn't try to be her friend first..

Its not fair on who? It's certainy not fair on me to live my life in misery, to not be able to get out of bed in the morning and face the world because the one girl i love, the girl who i am made for, has no feelings for me whatsoever. It's not that i don't want to be heer friend, i think she has an amazing personality, in fact it's her personality as much as anything i love about her. But if its really killing me on the inside (which it is), do i have any choice?

Adren, what are you views? Your advice is always extremely valuable.

So if there's no chance of you two becoming something, you want nothing to do with her? That's not fair. You should tell her how you feel though, but if you can't be friends, a relationship would be dooomed.
