I feel I'm starting to fall for the best thing that's ever happened to me. He's the greatest guy I've ever known, and the most perfect friend.. But it's impossible for us to be anything but friends. I won't ever even bother telling him about this because of that.. It's not unusual for me to like him but it's useless and I don't want to live another day feeling something one-sided, I spent my whole life with one-sided crushes or relationships and.. I just don't want to be there again. It's just going to push me into misery, it's going to make everything hurt again..

How do I make the feelings go away before it ruins everything?

Why dont you tell him? He may like you too but is Feeling the same as you scared , You never know what could happen Im sending over some hugs for ya!

So you're saying that he's "unavailable" to you, right? In other words, he's taken???

The best thing you could do for yourself is to avoid him. I KNOW he's a great friend -- but if you want to save yourself some heartache, stay away. You might have to explain this to him - but keep your distance. That is the only way I know of to stop your increasing affections towards this guy. If you two cannot be together, and it's an impossible situation, then walk the other way. It's just not worth it. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee

It really is impossible, and I'm not saying that because I'm scared or he's taken. It is literally impossible because he's gay. So I'm not exactly his type. I've known ever since I met him, and I've known him for 2 years. I don't want to just walk away because I feel it would be selfish.. He's sacrificed so much time and worked so hard just to keep me sane, he was the only one I could trust when I was really down and depressed and thinking of suicide, and he helped me realize my life did not have to revolve around an emotionally abusive group of friends. He's done so much for me and I'm also his only friend, he doesn't need me as much as I've needed him but I know if I just left cause of my own stupidity it would hurt him a HELL of a lot more than feeling something one-sided.

The feelings aren't that strong right now where it could really do a lot of damage. I'm already dating someone else trying to put my feelings into something that could actually go somewhere but over the course of these last few months it's been steadily growing.. I'd like it to stop.
