Help, I am in love with a friend!?

Question

I've been in a lot of pain the past few weeks. You see, I am in love my my friend, but she does not feel the same way. This has been going on for at least 3 years, but it got worse lately. She was going through a really rough time with a recent break-up and issues with her house. I let her stay at my place for about 2 weeks. During that time, I started to feel more and more attached to her. I pushed those feelings aside for her sake. But, last week, she left town for the holidays. I figured it would give me time to finally get myself "centered", but instead, it feels like I have went through a break-up, but it's not a break-up. I can deal with the pain in the meantime, but I don't know what to do once she returns. Any suggestions?

BTW, when she slept at my place, it was not in the same bed as me. So, there was no physical intimacy.

Sorry, I need to add:

In the past, I have tried to limit the time we spent together due to these feeling of mine. But, this time, she was in so much pain that I allowed myself to get close so I could help her. She knows that I did this, but does not know about the pain it has caused me. I didn't want to tell her because I don't want her to hurt. I kept telling her, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you and I'll take care of me. You just focus on you."

Answer 1

Get it off of your chest. You will probably feel allot better.

Answer 2

You need to let this girl go if she hasn't liked you in 3 yrs chances are slim for you indeed so move on HUGS

Answer 3

I once read in Playboy that the easiest way to forget a woman is to find another one.

Good Luck

Answer 4

You are borderline stalker. Get over yourself. You probably are only interested because she has no interest in you. Love has made you blind.......you sound like a complete fool......
