Hello All,
need little advise , I basically fell in love with my best friend . Her ex is out of the picture. they had a little boy and I have basically been raising him since he was 1 he is 2 1/2 now. She has a major commitment issue. She has a wild side she wants to get out . Evrything she invested in the last relationship blew up on her. I don't blame her for not wanting to be in another relationship. I was that way too.. why I had been single for 6 years. But, so my problem.... I feel a love so.... deep for this women that it hurts! and bring tears to my eyes not to be with her and her child which I love as much as it were mine. We messed around in the beginning but, she said was getting too serious. She didn't want that . Which I understood. She tells me that I mean the world to her and she would be lost without me.. But, we are not together.. don't kiss don't sleep together. She says she knows I would be great man, the best man, but she just can't commit. I don't know what to do about these feelings I have for her . I mean wow..its not a puppy love thing. It is a love, you can't control..one that takes over your whole body gives you chills makes you cry makes you feel every emotion all at once. I have told her that and more but still can't get her to commit. She says she isn't even happy with herself...so how can I make her happy? I just don't know what to do....? I am up for any solution or ideas on how to deal with this. By the way this is my neighbor ...so can't just stop coming around.

there is nothing u can do to "make"her committ - it will be like the penny stuck in a crack - the more you prod to grasp it - the more it will elude u.

You can be content to continue to be her very good friend. u can also be open to letting go....what do u want to do that u actaully CAN do?

A relationship has to be mutual. Until that happens, there really is not anything you can do that will change that. Your options? Wait around till she changes her feelings towards you. Or get out and start meeting other women and just maybe you will find one that will have "mutual" feelings for you. Do you really want to hang in there, not knowing when or if she will ever feel the same about you?

Good Luck
