What if you like someone (a str8 friend) but you know he will never like you back? (he knows you're gay) Will you continue your feelings for him?

How can you possibly move on? What are the steps to take him out of your everyday system!

lboy agony auntdear reader,

i would advice that you try and take your problems to another close friend first as it has already been said you've passed the most difficult step but i believe cutting him out of your life will make things worse because then you'll start to miss his company and remember how he made you feel, all i can say is try and meet someone that takes your mind away from him, move on, it seems hard i know but it gets easier and your friendship will still last, just distance yourself a little at first, find someone then when you and he are close you can start to let this other man back into the equation and things will be much easier for you. well thats all ive got.

good luck

A female reader, Aunt Letty United Kingdom +, writes (31 May 2008):

Realising that this is a Love that's never going to happen is the first step and the hardest. Make yourself less emotionally available to him, take your problems to someone else before you speak to him. Don't let him be the first person you want to speak to. You'll still keep him as a friend, but you won't be as close. If its still too difficult to be around him then you may have to do the ruthless thing and cut him from your life. Sometimes in life you have to be selfish and put your own wellbeing ahead of those around you. Good Luck.
