Ihave been there until now im not move on. who can provide me with the best options to take him out of my system? help....

I have had friends that fell in love with me at some point. I stopped talking to them for a while, after explaining that I never intended for such a thing to happen. After a few months, I usually contact them again to see how things are going and if they've moved on, we remain friends. If not, I choose to never see them again because it will be bad for both of us. I suggest you stop seeing your friend until those feelings go away and then if you still want to be only friends you can cal him again. Good luck.

I had been in this situation, only, it wasn't me who fell in love to my friend but it was the other way around.:( We were so close, he took me home, watched movies together, I spent time with him and his family and they treated me as a family, too. I had no idea he was in love me until his friends told me. I was seeing someone, then. I loved him, too, but only as a friend and a brother I never had.... There was nothing I can do to love him more than what I can offer... I told him to find someone else. And I made a distance between us, cut off our communication. He on the other hand keeps himself busy with his job. He went out with other girls and eventually fell for someone ,too.:) The best thing to forget a man or a woman is to fall for another.:) Bear that in mind.:) Goodluck to you.;)

That was really hard to carry on friend. As long as you are with him and he doesn't know that you're inlove you will strongly feel that way. What if you try to move apart from him for a while and this is for you to forget him at least. While he has still a relationship with his girlfriend. Time will come he will longing for you too. And goodluck for that!

Good day to you, Falling in love is one of the nicest feelings that a human being can have. Wherein the feeling of being special is given. And with reference to your query, there are times, it is truly hard to fall in love with a friend especially if he does not feel the same way as what you have feel. With regards to that, perhaps try to avoid having too much communication with him. If you can re-focus your attention to some other things that will somehow help you not to talk to him in a period of time. Aside from that, maybe if you can redirect your thoughts in doing some writings that will require much of your time (if you are fond of writing an article). Or maybe, enroll in a class that can truly occupy your free time so you will be able to stay away from him. These are the things that I can share with you so that you can move on little by little. Nevertheless, prayer is the most important thing to do. Pray for your feelings. Ask everything in prayer. For sure, God has the right answer.

I think you should tell him your feelings. Though it doesn't mean he's going to leave his girlfriend for you, but I'm sure he'll understand. Then you should stop spending time with him for awhile till your feelings for him are gone. Best to hang out with someone else and it would help more if you find someone who loves you back. You just have to move on.

Hello Marga! I do not think that if wanted to make you fall in love with him and then let you douwn, you can call him a friend. A friend is a friend, what he did makes him a ... can't find the irght word. But if he used you to see if he still has it (the charm to make a girl in love with him only to secure his ego) i think you shoul stop seing him. You make yourself feel bad and make him feel a God

i am afraid that the only possible course of action is to move on with your life. find someone else who really can love you back to be interested in. Unrequited love definetely sucks, and one should avoid lingering in that condition. I know how hard it is, i've been there... if toyur friendship is really important to you you can save that but it involves a lot of pain and self control. The easy way out is to stop seeing this person and moving on with your life. The hard way out is moving on with your life while still being friend with this person. Hope you get out of this situation as soon as you can..

I empathized you. You are in a quite painful situation. Try to keep distance with him(though i know it's kinda hard to do). Cut all your connections. Prove to yourself that you can do it. Relocate to another place and stay away in something which will only remind you of him. Keep yourself busy. Well, we are only here to give advises but the final one would be from you. Good luck to you. May you meet someone soon who is worthy of your love.

Being in love with a friend is so hard. First, many sacrifices have to done by the two of you. 2nd, when the two of you lost your love, you'll loose everything. You're going to loose your friend and at the same time your girlfriend/boyfriend. So if i were you, think before you do your move. Love can wait. Good luck.

I've been there, a have a friend a really good friend where so close but in the end where just still friend, I tried to court her but she replied me the words " I can only offer friendship", but were still friend right now. I think I misinterpret our closeness. Another thing is that another friend of mine misinterpret me when show to much care to her, she's my dance partner and we need to toss her every practice and after that I asked her if she's okay, and that's when she misinterpret me, I make sure I explain everything to her because I have a girlfriend back then and I love my girlfriend until now.

The better way is to move to another city and start new life and get to know more people and more friends. If you have or can find something else to do, such as your job, your business, you may be easier to forget the past and move your interest and feeling to somewhere else. You will get to know new friends and your love.
