How to deal with an awkward unrequited love?

Tagged as: Big Questions<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (11 October 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 25 January 2008)
A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have a friend, not that close mind you, who I have fancied since I first laid eyes on her (3 years ago.) Recently my feelings toward her have intensified and I've fallen in love with her. However, I have a strong suspicion that she knows half, but not all, the story.

She seems to be avoiding me at times but won't open up to me one way or the other. I would rather bury my feelings and salvage a friendship but everything is so tense and fragile. She's a sweet girl and very modest so I don't know if she is repulsed by me but doesn't have the heart to tell me or what. I wish I didn't feel the way I do, but it's not a consciencious decision.

Having a crush was not a problem but this just too intense. I know that when she smiles I can't help but do the same and I'd do anything to make her happy; I can't stop thinking about her. Do I just act like nothing is going on and remain patient (no matter how long this lasts) or summon up the courage, risking hurt on both sides, and pour everything out?

Do you think she loves you back? Have you told her?

If she makes you feel good don't you want to be around her?

You need to ask her out on a date. Then you'll probably know what she's thinking about you (one way or the other).

Danielepew agony auntVery often women know more than we men think we let show. Also, people in love always think that they hide their feelings very well, and it's never so. So, though I wouldn't bet on it, I think she has known for a long time how you feel.

The question for you is the same. Do you tell her, or not?

If I were you, I would stay away from her for a little while. If she came to you, then you would remove the doubt. If she didn't, well, you would remove the doubt as well.

Hope this works.
