For about a year, I've liked one of my male friends. I revealed this to him last summer and he promptly rejected me saying, "I think you're wonderful and you're sexy but there are just certain lines we shouldn't cross."
He is 6 years older than me and I know how much he prefers dating older women. We remain friends now, even after the rejection, but it's difficult for me to let go of how I feel.
I've tried showing him that I can be supportive and affectionate, hoping he would see that I have something special to offer but it hasn't changed his mind about dating me.
I don't want to go another year longing for him and I don't want this stress to ruin our friendship. It's difficult for me to let go when he calls me a "kindred spirit." This whole experience has caused me to wonder the difference between that and soul mates. Anyone know?
How do I get over him? I've already tried dating two other men and that was fun for about 5 months but nothing long term came from that.
