Well I've had something troubling me and I really don't know who to turn to for help because it's rathar personal. I figuered it would be easier for me to just say what I have online to people I don't know, so here it goes.
Well I've got this great friend Shannon, we've been friends since sometime last year near the end of the summer. Around november last year I asked her out on a date and she told me she wasn't interested. Since then we got a lot closer as friends, we hang out every day, work out together, when she goes out of town she'll still call me pretty much every day. I'm crazy about the girl and I'd do anything for her. But I don't think that her openion of me changed, in fact I think that she thinks of me as her brother. It's just really tough because when I'm around her I really want to kiss her sometimes and I know I can't because I'll lose my best friend. So I never have as much fun with her as I should be because I spend half the time reminding myself that she's not interested in me in that way and that I should stop thinking about her like that. I just don't know what to do, I can't get her out of my head, sometime I wish she'd just go away so I would never have to remember what it feels like to be around her and wanting her. But I know that's just silly and won't help one bit.
So anyone been in a situation like this? what should I do? do I talk to her about it? or will that just make things worse? right now I'm thinking about just riding it out till she finds someone else that she wants to hang out with more than me.
