I've had feelings for this friend of mine for about a year, and they've grown a lot since then. We gave a relationship a shot. However, I screwed it up in the course of three days, and now the chance is pretty much impossible. We're still friends, though.

Being so attached to him is too draining, so I want it gone. I have next to no experience with relationships, despite being 25. And if you have any advice on how to prevent romantic feelings from surfacing, then I'd like to know that, too. I know we're all human and can't control our emotions 100 percent, but there must be something out there that can snuff it out before it gets too strong.
