Two days ago, I sent a goodbye letter to a girl who I love. The reason I did it is after 6 months of chasing after her I feel mentally exhausted, so I have to said to her is the end of our friendship.

Yesterday, I went up and tried to talk to her, she was really sad and didn't want to talk with me. I felt guilty for hurting her but just had to do it. I love her. She kind of ignores me but sometimes secretly look at me

What shall I do?

A reader, anonymous, writes (28 April 2011):

Well, your goodbye letter hasn't brought her any closer to you. Chasing didn't work, and cutting her off didn't work. She doesn't reciprocate your feelings, but is probably sad about losing a friend. However, you can't be friends when you're still feeling all-or-nothing about her anyway.

Were you hoping that a "goodbye" would bring her to change her mind and miss you and come to you? Ask yourself how much of your "love" for her was based on how well you REALLY know her, and how much was you filling in the gaps. Don't worry, you'll get over her. She has her own reasons for not wanting to be closer to you, and there's not much more you can do. Be the best person that you can be, make yourself more interesting, but not for her sake, for your own... if you're still in touch after a while maybe you can continue your friendship again.
