There is this friend who is very special to me, he is very different to other guys and I think He really knows me well. I admit that I felt something special between us but of course I don't like to assume that He also like me. We were teased also by friends before but I always said that were only friends. Now, I felt hurt when I knew that he has recently been in a relationship. He doesn't know what I feel for Him and I'm intended to not to tell forever. I Hope that someday I be with the one I love. Now, I'm trying to forget Him and still be friends with Him? Hard...

I have been through this exact same situation of yours. The only difference is that i am a guy and i had same feelings for a girl. I do told her every thing that I felt for her, just because we were good friends and that i wanted to be crystal clear in relations with no hiding games. so what i felt I told her without expecting the same in return. Although she said NO, but along with that she asked for good friendship. Till date we are very very good friends, sharing and help out each other whenever needed. One thing i can tell you that, if you are still good friends now, then you are very lucky, because you are more free in friendship than in love. You have no boundaries in a relationship called friendship, but love on the other hand bounds you. One who is in love with other will always seek a friend to share his/her thoughts, you are lucky to be that one for him :-)

Yes, your right in friendship there are no boundaries. I'm very lucky to have him as a friend. There was a time when He ask me something but not in a serious way but I always said to him were always friend. I will value our friendship, and thank you for sharing your story too.

I understand what you feel right now because i also experienced that . .its really very hard especially if he asked you that you and his girlfriend will met and asked that his girlfriend and you will be friends . .What I did is I did not communicate with him for almost 2 months for trying to forget him and I go with my friends . . I know its really hard especially he's special to you bur sooner or later you will forget him and you can be with the one you love . .

Oh!It really hurts. If I were you I would never tell him how I feel. Because he already has a girlfriend. If I told him, it may make him confused and I don't want to see this.I want to vaule this friendship forever. So I know it'll be hard to forget him ,but when time gose on , I think you can tease him just like before. You know sometimes we can't live with the one we loved, but we can keep this feelings deep in heart and wish him happy everyday. Isn't it the true love? And firmly believe you'll meet the special one sometime in some places.

i also have good friend that i like evry much but before we knw each other, he already has a girlfriend. He knows that i care about him and sometimes we acted like were lovers but we both know where we stand. He knows i need someone to depend on cause i live alone and i perfectly know that he loves his girlfriend. I know what kind of love hes givin me. Hes now working abroad, itll be years before we see each other again. We still stay in touch though. I still share my daily happenings here. Somehow at some point i wondered what if i made a big deal of how we care for each other.. But then i realized that we make a good team as friends.. So there.. :)

Yes, It's really hard to assume other feelings beside friendship. Maybe we will just stay friends forever that's much better I guess. But it still hurts, specially when he is saying he misses me, etc.. I'll just really, really hope I be happy too someday with someone I love.

I think the reason you're feeling like that is because you're actually in love with your friend. Sometimes it's really hard to manage these kinds of feelings especially if this is someone you're really close with. But you have to remind yourself of what kind of relationship the two of you share. If he started a relationship with someone, you can only tell yourself that it's a little too late. If you're having a hard time getting over him, then perhaps you should minimize seeing him for the moment, just enough to get over him. If he doesn't bother you if you spend a small time seeing him, then let him be because most probably he's enjoying his time with his new girlfriend. But if he's bugging you about why you're hardly seeing each other and spending time with each other, that would be a good time to tell him exactly what's going on. If he really wants to know, then give it to him. Until that happens, keep it on the down low, think about things. Maybe you're just infatuated because you like the idea of being in a relationship, and now, he's in a relationship so maybe you want to be a in a relationship as well. Think about it first. Enjoy the time that you have for yourself while he's out having fun with his new girlfriend. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to get together with him so don't stress over it much. And as I always say, if you're meant to be, it will happen.

Maybe? I'm confused to myself... I'm not seeing him now because I'm in other country. He just got a girlfriend when I'm here. Anyways thanks for the advice. Maybe it's better this way. Maybe were not meant to be, I'll just put that in mind.

I will feel happy if a guy friend of mine will be in a relationship. Although there is this little feeling of jealousy. Since he already have a girl friend, I should expect that he will change his priorities. I won't expect that things will still be the same. That would hurt me more I guess. I definitely understand how you feel.

Actually the very same thing happened to me. I was quite open with my fellow myLotters when I told them that I broke up with my BF of 4yrs. Since he was the one who decided to break away, I really had a tough time coping and moving on. Especially he didn't gave me a clear reason why we broke up. I hope you don't mind me sharing my story... During those hard times, I was quite surprised when this guy officemate approached me and started chatting with me. He was friendly to start with so I didn't have any problem getting along with him. We often chat and send text messages. I mean, we exchange messages first thing in the morning all throughout the day until we go to sleep. He tells me where he goes and asks me what's my plan. I can't really tell if I liked him but he DEFINITELY helped me move on. And because of him, my friends expanded a lot. We were often teased by people since we're always together. We go home together, have dinner together, go to malls together, etc. but we never hang out on weekends. Anyway, 2 or 3 months passed and one day, he suddenly told me he now found himself a GF (who's also my office mate). When I told him how they came to like each other he told me that that he treats the girl the same way he treats me, only the girls suddenly texted him "Why are you so sweet? Do you like me because I like you" and with that, he went along with the flow and they became together. I was surprised, yes and maybe a little bit hurt. I distanced myself from him from about a month or so but I do talk to him but not as much as before. Whenever I see them together, my spirits dampen but I tried to keep a cheery facade. I distanced myself until the time came that I'm ready to face both of them. I only felt no hurt when I can joke him "When are you two getting married?" and he simply laugh and brush it off. Anyway, my point is you don't need to forget him. You can still be friends with him but do try to toughen up. I can't say "be happy for him" since I know it would be difficult but do take time to accept things. Instead of thinking "it should've been us", think instead "we're still friends and that's all that matters". I don't know the opinion of others but for me, friends will always be important. When my guy officemate told us he now has a GF, I kept thinking "we're still friends" and "there's no romantic inclination between us since I never asked in the first place". Just be contented with what you have now and always value that friendship

Thank you for sharing your story with us. You really understand what it felt like. Yes, I should value our friendship, that's what I'm gonna do. We are friends and I'll be happy with it. Thanks for the advice.

Hi vycess:) I understand how you feel, maybe it's better if you let him know what you really feel about him and what you expect about your relationship with him, because maybe he is just waiting for you to tell that and he can't tell you also because he think that he is only a friend to you, so why not try? but if you can't I just hope that you'll find that love of your life soon. goodluck:)

Hmmm... I think I will not tell him what I feel, specially no that he has a girl friend. What's the point of telling him that right? If I'm gonna tell him he will just be confused and our friendship will be endangered.

i can totally understand your feeling because i had the same experience in college too.and you took him as a soulmate which the relationship is between friends and lover. somedays later, he had a relationship and you will think that his girlfriend took him out of your world from the inheart. hence, forget him or advoid him is not the solution and if i were in your shoe i would have a talk with him and let him know that what i am thinking and his though. as for being friend is another thing i think, so you can have a try. GOD bless you,have a nice day.

I would like to suggest you that do not put longer living relation ship because this will fed up you with your partner, Make her or he as soon as possible life partner and it is legal relation ship also. If you do not have legal relation and the couples are living as usual relation ship , soon he or she they will lose respect of each others and fed up with this relation ship.
