I'm in love with one of my good friends. She knows because I somehow found the courage to tell her - but she said she just wanted to stay friends. I really value her friendship, so I agreed. We still talk and hang out all the time and suprisingly, things aren't too awkward. The problem is that I still have these feelings for her and I'm pretty sure that she knows. I don't want to lose her completely. What should I do?

Many people fall in love with friends of the opposite sex. I think this is because they know you so well, and you feel completely comfortable with them, the attraction starts. It's safe to fall in love with a friend, but you have to ask yourself what is more important to you--her friendship or a relationship that might ruin your friendship forever. Make a list of the pros and cons of each. I'm sure she loves you to, but not in that way. If she doesn't now, chances are she'll always feel that way. Good luck sweetie.

Date casually other women and before you know it, she might be more interested when she sees that someone else likes you for more than a friend. You might be surprised yourself. I wouldn't set my sights on just her if she's not interested.

THERE NOTHING WRONG IN BEING FRIENDS WITH HER.
BUT TRY TO START DATING OTHER PEOPLE, THEN IT
WILL NOT BE AS AWKWARD AS TIME GOES ON. SHE WILL
ALL BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE AND THAT GOOD. BUT IF
YOU START PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE IT WILL GET
A LOT BETTER FOR YOU AND HER.GOOD LUCK

Tell her there's a girl you like and why. hehe Point to someone you may also like sincerely and tell your friend that you think that you might like to ask her out and what does she think?
Ask her opinion. She may take another look at you herself. ;)

She may be a lesbian or not ready for a relationship with a guy.Treat her as your own sister.
