Chaos91 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Okay, so here's the situation. There's a girl in my class who's been a really good friend for like three years now. We do loads together, but a couple of months ago something suddenly struck me. I thought I was falling in love with her. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't think about anything but her. And this doesn't happen to me often; I've never felt this way about anyone before. But it's even more complicated than that. See, she kind of has a boyfriend. She's been seeing him for about a year now and they are really strong at the moment, even though they've had a few problems in the past. I know that nothing is going to happen, not only because she has a boyfriend, but because we're just too close friends. I know I just have to get rid of these feelings as soon as possible, because if I don't, they are just gonna get stronger and stronger until it starts causing all sorts of problems. This is what all my friends have been saying. It's hard to describe, but although I don't want to lose these feelings, I know that once I do I'll be fine. But I really do not want to use these friendship. Above everything, I REALLY want to stay friends with her. She's like the funnest person in the world and I loved having her as a friend, even before I fell in love with her. And as I said, if I keep these feelings, I could end up losing not just her, but pretty much every friend I have. So, bottom line, I need advice on how to get rid of these feelings. I'm feeling more like Joey from Friends every day. (Recall "The One With the Birthing Video", where Joey realises he's in love with Rachel).
