This has happened to me so I am speaking from the girls side of this-

My best friend and I were friends for 3 years when he finally told me he was in love with me I stepped back. I couldnt imagine seeing him in a sexual way.. It made me feel strange. Love is a very strong word when used in the sentence " I have fallen in love with you". I finally stopped talking to him all together..

I wished he would had never confessed his feelings I never gave him mixed signals or gave him the impression I was into him more than friends.. He picked me up when I was down and was someone I could crawl in bed with in the middle of the night if I needed someone to talk to I miss that .. But with the friendship we had I didnt want him to think I was physically drawn to him..

I dont think she is coming back to you .. Honestly I think you scared her off sorry to hear about this It will be hard I still Miss my BFF!!!!

yeah, i'm thinking that was her thought, too

Strange not having someone to call and talk to tho. It's one of those feelings that say, "STUPID! Had to open your mouth huh"

anyone got a time machine I can borrow?

loan it to me after you're done, please? i need to go back about 18 years and do some fixing of my own,

you got it.. if i can find one.

All this in 3 months!!

You'll get over it

Yes all that in 3 months, can't help it, but yes I probably will but right now it still stings a bunch.

I'm in the same sisuation . Ive know her for two years. Just read it wrong. You think at my age, I know by now.
Love a mental illness. When it hits you all you can do is ride it.
Right now it su#ks. going through all the anger, denile, sorrow, ect.
It's the shi# side of love.

i used to be friends with a guy in arab, small world.

Small Town, too

oh definitely

this is the part of the night, when its quiet it's hardest.

you guys used to talk alot at night?

used to call her every night and say goodnight, then I would get up 2 hrs early and go have coffee at her office before going to work.

You did'nt let her down at all, you were honest and told her how you feel. What more can somebody ask? Just smile and walk away. It's better to live with no regrets than live a lie.

True, but at the same time, Having a friend you can trust and someone to do things with that both of you enjoy doing is wonderful and it's really hard to free yourself of that kind of emotion.

As a guy I did this too before, had a somewhat good friend I had reconnected with for a time a few years back. We'd hang out and stuff, and I had some feelings for her she didn't. Twice I had brought it up, the first time she still had a boyfriend with whom she was having issues with....not so good. Second time, was the last straw. She never spoke with me again after it, except to say she forgave me when I sent her an IM.

That was definitely a learning experience for me to be sure.

Sometimes Learning sucks!
I feel for you.... and I hope I learn this time.

you made your move too late...kept you at the friendship tip
