Liking Someone... and dealing with it

Have you ever met someone who struck you immediately by their physical appearance. (Meaning you were attracted to them due to an immediate physical aspect) and then you got to know them better and better, and you found out how funny, kind, helpful, intelligent, cute, wise and amazing they were... you want to be their friend but you're also scared because you know that you are attracted to them, that you like them very much, and you're scared that "being friends" would be great but difficult at the same time, to be able to be a friend but never a lover, it would still be very nice but it would hurt, too.

Am I being selfish? I mean, I've met this person, talked to them, laughed with them a bit, and now I'm starting to think how I want "more," and by what I can see they simply want to be acquaintances and friends.

I feel frustrated and sad... and angry with myself. Why can't I be happy with someone just as a friend?
Well, I guess I'm really just that shallow :S
But has anyone ever gone through the same? I just wish there was someone who could relate.

I dont think your being selfish .
but i think
if you truly love someone
and you can see them happy
then that will make you happy

not being able to have him as your love will hurt ,
i hope you are alright .

Yeah, I understand. It sucks having to sit by someone wishing they were yours but at the same time knowing it can never be. Are you sure he just wants to be friends? Well if he just wants to be friends then you really can't do anything about it. You have to accept it, you can't force someone to be with you if they don't want to be. It might take awhile but you have to move on. I'm sure there's someone out there that you'll find the same connection with and they'll want to be with you too (: Good luck!

Yes, that's one thing I have discovered... there really IS a "lot of fish in the sea."
I know because about five months ago I met a guy who to me seemed perfect. Nothing happened, I was sort of dulled and heartbroken and I seriously thought that no other guy could compare...
But yes, they keep on appearing out of nowhere...

Actually, I'm not sure that my chances of even just being FRIENDS is very high at all... so there are no high hopes here.
Actually I think I'll be okay seeing him happy, with another girl even. He has such a nice smile I love seeing it, even if I know that he is smiling at his girlfriend.
And actually deep down I know he will always deserve so much better than me :)
