Have you ever developed super strong romantic feelings for someone who only views you as a friend?

I'm really close with one of my guy friends (who I'm 90% sure is straight) that I recently met. We talk everyday, laugh, make fun of each other, share personal things etc.

At first I thought he was flirting with me, so I let myself get close and develop feelings for him.

Now he talks about girls a shitload and it honestly breaks my heart. Like I don't want to sound dramatic, but it really hurts. I find I can't focus on much else without thinking of him.

I don't know how I can go on being his friend when I have these super strong feelings for this guy. I certainly don't plan on telling him: 1) I'm not ready to out myself 2) I'm not ready for the rejection I'm 90% sure would follow that.

I had hoped we'd fall into a relationship but it doesn't look like that's what's going to happen, even though there were all these signs that he was interested in me.

I've never experienced heartbreak like this before.

What do I do ATRL? It's hard to cut ties with this guy. There's always this tiny hope in the back of my mind that something might happen between us. I don't think I could just stop talking to him but I can't just come out and say how I feel. He makes me feel to happy, so comfortable with myself and where my life is. It's really hard not to fall for him.

My fave's music is so perfect for this right now

there's something called Friends with benefits

Maybe that could help your situation

EDIT: he's straight

Your out of luck sis sorry

LOL @ the Kelly promotion

Yes. I love a friend of mine, but she is too good for me, I don't have any chance.

How are you coping? Got any advice?

I'm sorry for what you're going through. It sucks

That's why you should never overreact over hugs, cheek kisses and stuff, that's just normal, i used to think ''straight'' friend flirted with me and had feelings for me but it end up with him being 100 % straight...

Girl, I used to be you in in 8th grade!! Just eat vanilla ice cream, there's nothing you can do

I pulled away from her, perhaps that is not the best way to deal with it, but it was the easiest.

There might be some hope sis

Does he know your gay/bi?

Do you know any other gorls like us ?

Time and separation will help you get over it.

I was in love with my best friend once upon a time. I moved away for two years and those feelings disappeared when I saw him again. I see him as a goofy younger brother now.

No he doesn't. Thing is, there were SO MANY HINTS when we first met. I was almost certain he was at least bi. Now that's kinda fading. I guess I read the signs wrong.

And no I don't

In love with a boy from my class since the beginning of the year...
When I spend a few days without seeing him (he skips class a lot) I kind of forget him, but when he comes back... it's like the first time I saw him over again

Well it dosnt hurt for you to tell him that your gay? Maybe if you open up to him he could open up to you

If he is straight forreal though then I suggest you still be friends with him but try hanging out with other friends you have and finding out if anyone eles is gay/bi like you too

I'm currently in the EXACT situation as yours.
We should talk,sis.

Tell us those hints
Maybe you overreacted a bit

I used to like my best friend. I'm still not sure if he liked me back but he would do stuff like come out the shower naked in front of me. Like, I hate people who send mixed signals. And he was "straight" but I haven't spoken to him in years. The best thing to do is to cut ties sis, it's hard but it'll help you get over it much faster.

Sis you need to stay AWAY. It will be hard but you just have to do it. Otherwise you will end up being really hurt/heartbroken..
