    Im in love with my best friend. And its got too bad now, too deep inside of me! I feel like im close to the end!
    I want to get over them, but i dont know how to do that with them being such a hugh part of my life! I mean i see them everyday!

    Do they know that you're attracted to them? do you think they may feel the same way?

    No =[ they don't know... and they dont feel the same. I had often wondered if they did, but they recently split with their partner, and the extent of their pain about that, showed me they could never love me!

    It's just time. If need be, tell them you can't hang out for a little while, if that would help you.

    There's no trick to this, no shortcut to getting over anybody. You just do things to keep your mind off it, and eventually you'll realize that you don't need them like you thought you did. Good luck.

    well he's straight and he obviously likes you A LOT to be spending so much time with you. who wouldn't want to date their best friend? I did it haha and we've been together for a year and half, still going strong! if he just broke up with his girlfriend, obviously he's feeling lots of pain, and he's relying on you to help him through it. once he gets over the loss and he's ready to start a new relationship, maybe you can talk about it. for now, i'd try to supress your feelings and let your friendship be...you don't want to overwhelm him. by the way, is your friendship affectionate at all?

    ♥You Really and Trully Don't Know Until you let this Person Know the way your feeling....You Don't want to look Back and regret not ever saying anything...maybe something Beautiful and Unexpected could come from Taking A leap of Faith for Special...That could be Love...Please do, I don't Know you but I know LOVE is trully Beautiful and you shouldn't avoid it or try to Run away from it even if you don't know the Outcome you must for your own Sake!!! Take CAre and good Luck ♥

    its a girl, shes my best friend! thats why its soo much harder. If it was a boy, it'd be a lot easier! She's really affectionate with me, thats why it hurts so much. I cry when she touches me =[
    Im not gay either, ive been in love with boys too. I just fall in love soo easy and hurt soo much!

    You shouldn't break off contact, that's never right. Pushing something away isn't healing you, but the absence of their presence might hurt more. It really does hurt to see someone you love with someone else, and it's the worst kind of pain. Maybe your best friend can grow to love you, but until then, aren't you content being best friends?

    I have been in this situation with my best friend.. It hurt so much for me not to be with her, but then I started realising that me and her could not get any closer.. The only thing that could happen was we could destroy the friendship that we have.
    I thought I should stop spending time with her, but knew that would just hurt me more, so continued to stay best friends with her.. Now 3years on it does not hurt anymore.. I'm happy when she's happy and vice versa.. we have spoken about 'getting together' many times but have come to the conclusion that it really would not be the best thing to do.. Maybe when we are old and grey and have no real stresses in life it would work out.. But time will tell.
    The one thing that really puts me off, is the fact I can talk to her about anything.. If I have a problem with a partner I speak to her.. If I was with her as a partner I would lose my best friend, as I wouldn't want to moan to her about issues I have with her.. So would lose the most special part of our friendship. I don't think I could handle that.

    I know i shouldnt break off contact, because that would hurt her, and i dont want to hurt her, even though she is hurting me. But in answer to ur question... nope im not content being best friends... thats horrible knowing she will never love me the way i love her.
    I cant go on hurting like this, i need to stop loving her or i'll die... what can i do, without her knowing there's something wrong with me? Mind you i dont know how she hasnt noticed already... im soo god damn depressed all the time =[
    Thanks for all ur help so far! xx

    Don't break off contact..cause that would hurt you too. If she broke up with her boyfriend...you need to comfort her, and show her that you will always be there for her. She is probably relying on you to be there for her, and maybe if she sees that you are, her feeling may change...
