Question - (31 March 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 July 2011)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

i have feelings for my close guy friend and i need them to stop. he has no idea how i feel, but we both have had conversations about relationships with friends and how it's too risky and how it could ruin a friendship if the relationship ends badly. i feel like i can't tell him how i feel, because he's the only close guy friend i have right now and i don't want to lose him because i don't think he feels the same way. he's also close to quite a few girl friends, and those who have liked him in the past, he is no longer that close to and i don't want that to happen with us. how can i get over him?? what can i do? :(

MugenTj agony auntRespect your feeling. The thing about feeling is that you can't really stop them by any force. One option is to stay as far away as possible, but that isn't an option you'd prefer. I'd suggest just accept them for what they are. Do whatever you feel appropriate to maintain a strong friendship. The possibilities are: your feeling will go away on its own given enough time; it can turn out that you will love him even more, or he might eventually have feelings for you also. I'd rather wait and see than struggling to remove those precious feelings.
