I am totally in love with a friend
Submitted on Thursday, July 24, 2008
By Melissa, 31, from UK:
What should I do if I have this feeling that I am totally in love with a friend but he just wants to be friends?
I have this feeling that I can't live without him and that I'll never find anyone better. I have tried mixing around and meeting new people but I somehow can't forget him. I consider myself an attractive girl and am struggling to understand why he doesn't want me. Maybe I'm just in denial.
I want to tell him how I wish we could be together but I don't want to come across as being so desperate, which in actual fact I am! Could he ever change his mind?
VictorM's advice:
Yes, he could still change, but that's not very likely.
Didn't you already tell him that you wish you could be together? If you haven't, I don't see why you shouldn't tell him. It may not make a difference, but you should remove that doubt from your mind and tell him.
Just because you like him romantically and you're good friends doesn't mean that he has to like you romantically in return. Romantic attraction is a beast all of its own, which no one really seems to be able to explain. It's not a reflection on you at all; it's just the way life is.
