The problem is, she has a boyfriend and i think that this boyfriend of hers will be her last one.they look so happy i think that this will soon lead to their marriage. I am really happy for my friend and i don't want to ruin their relationship. i'm sure that she is straight so i have no intention of confessing my feelings to her. how do i get rid of these feelings but still continue being close friends with her?

Put it somewhere where you'll see it so you can keep reminding yourself why it wouldn't work. Second, you need to cut off from this friend for a bit until you've gotten over these feelings, you can use an excuse of just be honest with her, i'm sure she'll respect you for telling the truth and with time and hanging out with other people you will get over her.
