It must be hard to find out tha a guy only loves you as a sister but you dont have to give up all hope the best way is to look at yourself as more than a sister and maybe he wil see it too. If he doesnt then dont worry about it because there are many guys out there and Im sure that they wont be looking at you like a sister. Try a makeover or change your style a bit, not too much. this might grab his attention. Good Luck.

It sounds like you have taken the first step in recognising that you will never be with him as a lover. Beyond that i would say you should treasure his affection and know that it is something that will always be there and not be subject to the demands and strains of a lovers relationship. At least that gives you a solid base to build on as you look for somebody who you can have everything with.
