uhmmm i think it's time to move on... like 5 years ago...

i smell a scandal!

YDI for not taking any initiative in the whole 6 years you knew the guy

i feel your pain... i've been in love with my best friend since 7th grade and he's made it clear that even though he has feelings for me, he doesn't want to lose the friendship so he doesn't want to be in a relationship. we've been friends for over 7 years now and even though we've both dated other people, at the end of the day we always end up preferring to hang out with each other. to all the people slamming the OP for not saying anything before, confessing your feelings for someone doesn't always mean it will make a difference. and moving on isn't exactly easy either, especially if you really do love someone. to the OP, you may not ever end up getting together, but if you really love him at least appreciate the fact that you have him in your life as a friend. it's been working pretty well for me so far, though it will never be easy all the time. either way, i'm wishing you good luck girl.

It's totally your fault for never saying anything about it. If you really "loved" him, then you would've spoken up. I'm wasting no pity on you.

Why do the birds go on singing Why does the sea rush to shore Don't they know it's the end of the world 'Cause you don't love me anymoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

you didnt have to

I'm so sorry that happened to you. If you were in love with him, why didn't your best friend know? or did she just not care? You should've told him you liked him before they even went out. But you need to be a good friend and support your best friend and let him go. I promise you God has an awesome guy planned for you that you will love even more and everything will work out :) I'm sorry if that's not what you wanna hear but it's the truth. Just give all your pain to God. Pray for healing and God won't let you down. I'm not saying you will heal in like 2 seconds...it will still take some time. But everything's gonna be all right.

you snooze you lose

There are so many people insulting the OP about things that haven't even been hinted at in the message. There are so many people who are making grand assumptions about the situation based off two lines. There are so many people who seem to think that people undergoing stress need to be talked down at like some peasant. There are so many people who seem to think that not acting on ones feelings mean that the feelings aren't there, which isn't the case at all. To the OP, I'm sorry that you're in this mess. You obviously know that you've made some mistakes to have been brought to this situation. You've messed up, but hope is far from lost. No matter what it takes, you can forget about your feelings for him. I really hope that you can find someone who can reciprocate your feelings. If your friend doesn't know, it might be worth mentioning something so that she doesn't unintentionally act insensitive. (i.e. discuss things they've done together etc.) It's never easy, and it never happens quickly, but you need to keep moving on to find that special guy who you can really love without such pain. I really do wish you all the best. =)
