Unrequited Love

How does one deal with unrequited love when the other person is a good friend and one has already failed several times to move on? Particularly since the other person has known of this love for 2 years and refuses to accept it but wants to remain friends. This person (a guy) admits to never having romantic feelings for a girl though he has been attracted physically to women. He also has many other female friends who love him as well, and he knows of their love. I've known and tried to give up on him many times but because of the friendship I end up having the same feelings and if I try to distance myself, I feel guilty. Also, one of my good friends loves him and is closer to him than I, I sometimes get jealous and other times in an attempt to move on I tease them about each other but he doesn't seem to have feelings for her either.

Move on or you're just asking to be hurt.

  I agree with Mr.J, you need to forget all about him, he 's not ready to commit to anyone.  You'll just be hurt.  Find someone who will love you back.Innocent

All things are possible if you set your mind to it & dedicate yourself to what you want & never take yourself too seriously!Wink

The practical thing to do is think about your own needs. Are you fulfiled in this relationship? Sounds as though this gentalman has many admirers-do you feel it's worth it to be caught up in the drama? My advice is to set boundries. Explain to this man that you have needs that should be met. Put yourself 1st, love yourself & put a stop to the game playing. I'm sure this gentleman is quit flatered by all the attention & as long as you play along it won't end. Draw a line-explain you have boundries for your own self preservation. Life is short & there is no reason for you to come in 2nd or even 3rd for that matter-live your life with the self respect that you are one of a kind & should NEVER be put on the back burner. Chances are, if you lay down grouned rules & stick to them, he will have much more respect for you & find you much more appealing. Good Luck & God Bless

 Be Thankful

 Speak softly

 Let your love shine...

Unrequited Love is something that needs to be mourned over (like death) and then move on with your life.  Life does go on, even after death. 

 Life, after a situation like the one you have described, will go on, but you are the mover and the shaker of that life.  If you continue with this sort of "friendship" in which you feel one way and he feels another, you'll be miserable for the rest of your life. 

 Say, Farewell to this fellow even friendship wise, because you deserve better and you know it.  Mourn the situation as much as you need to, but treat it as if it were a death, which is what it is.
